Great for some application, but not for everyone.<div class="w-[30px]"><div class="relative flex"></div></div><div class="text-xs flex items-center justify-center gap-1 invisible absolute left-0 top-2 -ml-4 -translate-x-full group-hover:visible !invisible"></div><div class="flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3"><div class="min-h-[20px] flex items-start overflow-x-auto whitespace-pre-wrap break-words"><div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light"><p>Recently I have noticed that Linerless labels are being touted as the next big thing in labelling, with several manufacturers aggressively promoting special printers and label rolls.</p><p>However, it is worth noting that Linerless labels are not entirely new, having first been introduced about 20 years ago. The term "Linerless" refers to self-adhesive labels that lack a backing or liner; instead, the sticky side is directly applied to the face side using a special adhesive. Two decades ago, the idea was to address the issues of liner waste, which was considered a slip hazard, wasteful, and consumed significant space on the roll. Despite the initial push, Linerless labels didn't gain widespread popularity, and customers who tried them soon discovered their limitations.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEF-BCaYRlwZ1i0qewKOzkhNSdYsmUlG7KjPl45BfCGZlwQa9hVEN9PXBe519b_y0VFrz8lJCX4BqTTj4blrru5uN0J4NGSkvdhKYIrT5fmNsCqKte7x5XIfTv4vkYB730RG5qvpNNiT4NgegGf-Fagom8X9Cmfiw0XlSt3QtpUmejUbeL48oiN7-ZBdA/s1240/linerless.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="1240" height="127" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEF-BCaYRlwZ1i0qewKOzkhNSdYsmUlG7KjPl45BfCGZlwQa9hVEN9PXBe519b_y0VFrz8lJCX4BqTTj4blrru5uN0J4NGSkvdhKYIrT5fmNsCqKte7x5XIfTv4vkYB730RG5qvpNNiT4NgegGf-Fagom8X9Cmfiw0XlSt3QtpUmejUbeL48oiN7-ZBdA/w400-h127/linerless.webp" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Certainly, the concept of Linerless labels is appealing as it reduces waste and allows more labels per roll. These labels are well-suited for automatic application or Print and Hand Apply uses. They work perfectly for labeling parcels or goods where an operator prints labels and immediately affixes them onto packages since once printed, they cannot be set aside.</p><p>Linerless labels are highly useful for hand application at the point of use but are not suitable for situations where labels are printed for later application in a production environment or pre-printed as part of a works order document set.</p><p>Another issue with Linerless printers is that they follow a one-to-one relationship with the worker. This means that you need a lot more printers compared to regular label printers. Many businesses typically use one or two printers to serve dozens of workers, and modern label printers from manufacturers like Zebra, Sato, Honeywell, etc., can print many thousands of labels per hour. In contrast, a linerless printer only needs to print at the speed of the operator.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncs2SmngrA3IVzYNeBXvXkH5X2v1Q-iqmZl5S_NiUjf_cSB8nqR-EfCRdCREmEiOZ8OqqKPycE1MKACB2fmuOWI1V9Kdx3fnCTgonAXHlz0QDzZfqH-TlXzeIQRAQvfZ2yLXGU3eM2Yve0d6-VmHOsBtJTRkCICV5OaaDHvtJ4Xj_fS5Fns7odjNosb4/s800/zq630-photography-application-small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mobile Linerless Label Printing" border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="800" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncs2SmngrA3IVzYNeBXvXkH5X2v1Q-iqmZl5S_NiUjf_cSB8nqR-EfCRdCREmEiOZ8OqqKPycE1MKACB2fmuOWI1V9Kdx3fnCTgonAXHlz0QDzZfqH-TlXzeIQRAQvfZ2yLXGU3eM2Yve0d6-VmHOsBtJTRkCICV5OaaDHvtJ4Xj_fS5Fns7odjNosb4/w400-h253/zq630-photography-application-small.jpg" title="Mobile Linerless Label Printing" width="400" /></a></div><p>Linerless labels have their place in specific businesses, especially for food packaging, mobile parcel labeling, and food delivery applications. However, they are not suitable for every application. When considering Linerless printers, it's essential to evaluate how the business process operates and whether you can afford to have one printer per workstation.</p><p>Moreover, Linerless printers require specific features like non-stick platens and guides, which means you can't use a regular label printer for this purpose. Additionally, every printer needs a cutter since linerless labels are continuous, and you have to cut them to the desired length every time.</p><p>In conclusion, while Linerless labels offer some advantages and are well-suited for certain scenarios, they may not be the ideal solution for every labeling application. Businesses should carefully assess their specific needs and consider the potential benefits and limitations before adopting Linerless labeling technology.</p><p> </p><p>David Parkinson - MD Barcode-it and Dash Computer Products <br /></p></div></div></div>Barcode-IThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08597639912121936235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301136272900187584.post-85174240193171533562023-07-31T11:45:00.002+01:002023-08-01T09:32:08.174+01:00Android Mobile update cycles Vrs old Windows Mobile Terminals<p> Windows Mobile terminals have been phased out and replaced exclusively by Android mobile devices.

They purchase ten devices running Android v10, and everything works well. In December 2020, they want to purchase ten more of the same mobile model but are now faced with Android v11, which introduces some quirks causing minor differences in the ERP and WMS app. As a result, the screen displays differently, and the barcode scanner adds an extra "Enter" character after scanning a barcode.</p><p>This situation becomes a disaster for operators who are used to the previous app's behavior and now find inconsistencies across "identical" mobiles.

If you're not in the IT department of a larger company, chances are you haven't. However, as more and more devices are being used in industry and logistics, the misuse of IP addresses can cause serious problems for your business.</p><p>For most people, their internet provider takes care of IP address control through the local router or mobile phone provider. But in business, the control of IP addresses can be critical. Failure to properly manage IP addresses can impact the entire business, especially when large numbers of network-connected devices are involved.</p><p>Here's a case in point from one of our clients' sites: The Go Live of a huge new SAP S/4 HANA - eWM system was stalled because new barcode label printers could not be set up and exhibited strange behavior on power-up. The printers printed nothing, but spat out reams of blank labels. There was nothing in the spooler queue, and the network setup was perfect.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwXLvnkR72HH-X249L8vo-SHgng52K4KK03H-ui7RRPzzlSILiLHQnIkSHaidmeZgTKYuGc7T1jCx0ji9KX_6qOazflDeazkNaitBo2sghpj80G_XEstdi_sU5TMP2cZxPDenxvqFt4w8tpnfMZ7FHEugdX5b3oZWwSjuPCGzwAg15VHJfEREkfl7h/s800/zq630-photography-application-cold-storage-print-label.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="800" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwXLvnkR72HH-X249L8vo-SHgng52K4KK03H-ui7RRPzzlSILiLHQnIkSHaidmeZgTKYuGc7T1jCx0ji9KX_6qOazflDeazkNaitBo2sghpj80G_XEstdi_sU5TMP2cZxPDenxvqFt4w8tpnfMZ7FHEugdX5b3oZWwSjuPCGzwAg15VHJfEREkfl7h/s320/zq630-photography-application-cold-storage-print-label.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>After days of investigation, we were called to help resolve the problem. Some clever thinking and capture of the data the printer was receiving allowed us to pinpoint the cause. The IP addresses allocated to these new printers were reused, which is common with ranges of addresses.</p><p>The problem was that a very old Windows print server was still holding Windows drivers that pointed to this range of addresses. Even worse, there were documents in the spooler queues, and every time the new printers came online, the old spooler started to </p><p>send these old laser printer documents to the new label printers.</p><p>The new printers (Zebra label printers) did not recognize the old documents, but did see the LF (Line feeds) and FF (Form Feeds) embedded within them. Hence the stream of blank labels.</p><p>As soon as this ancient server (unused since 2010) was shut down, the new label printers started working perfectly. All of this happened because of the use of fixed IP addresses without proper documentation. The correct way is to use reserved IP addresses. This is done using the DHCP server, which links the device MAC address to a reserved IP address. The DHCP server always gives the same IP address to the printer.</p><p>Alternatively, you can use a centralized IPAM solution such as SolarWinds IP Address Manager to automatically track and manage which addresses are in use by which device. By doing this, you can avoid problems like the one our client experienced and ensure that your business runs smoothly.</p>Barcode-IThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08597639912121936235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301136272900187584.post-29111521136986639672023-02-24T10:47:00.000+00:002023-02-24T10:47:06.828+00:00Avoid Barcode Label Errors: The Importance of Barcode Structure and understanding GS1 and other regulations<p>Barcodes are ubiquitous in our daily lives, appearing

barcode labels fail to understand the rules and
structure of barcode creation, resulting in
incorrectly formatted or entirely new barcode systems
that only they can read. This can be a problem for
businesses that follow the rules and cannot read these
non-standard barcodes.</p>
<p>Crystal Reports (CR) is a popular tool among
developers for creating barcode labels, but it is not
always adept at creating barcodes that adhere to
industry standards. To ensure that barcode labels are
created and structured correctly, it is best to use a
tool or software application that takes data directly
from a business system (ERP). This ensures that the
data is always up to date and that the barcodes and
their structure will always be correct.</p>
<p>There are a number of software packages available for
barcode label creation, some for on-premise use and
others in the cloud. These applications sit outside
the business system and pull data in a read-only
format using standard ODBC connections or tools
provided by the ERP company. One example of such an
application is NiceLabel LMS (Label Management System)
by Loftware, which can be hosted on your own servers
or accessed through a cloud subscription service. By
using a tool like this, businesses can ensure that
their barcode labels are correctly structured and
comply with industry standards, avoiding potential
issues with unreadable or nonsensical barcodes.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdVLiGt2PpEFtzmmHczSYphMAsKU7nXBzxTQUTaR7PgmHbQlHV5tFePxLnt6g6kg-HSDPzt8EXDObqwpmHmMwrLP_9E4Adpad6fJy5rU_ETmIuWTe4D1JZyFVpLT0MUuIlMpdtMqrA4T3oAYu9j0ek2q_uUCU3szeXN0sm_jmEPSJ2pRFJPqQoI70/s1510/LabelCloud.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="992" data-original-width="1510" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdVLiGt2PpEFtzmmHczSYphMAsKU7nXBzxTQUTaR7PgmHbQlHV5tFePxLnt6g6kg-HSDPzt8EXDObqwpmHmMwrLP_9E4Adpad6fJy5rU_ETmIuWTe4D1JZyFVpLT0MUuIlMpdtMqrA4T3oAYu9j0ek2q_uUCU3szeXN0sm_jmEPSJ2pRFJPqQoI70/w640-h421/LabelCloud.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span></span></span></b></p><a name='more'></a><b><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></b><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">FREE Barcode Label Health Check </span></b><br /></p><p>If your barcode labels are being printed using a reports software such as Crystal, you might want to have an expert take a look and see if they are readable and meet global industry standards.

NiceLabel VAP is a tool that simplifies alignment with industry

validation plan/report, user requirement specifications, training
material, installation qualifications, user acceptance testing, and
others. Additionally, we will include internal NiceLabel test reports
for all new features per release to help you speed up your
testing/validation processes. Recently a customer who bought Cloud Compliance, told us that the VAP pack justified the cost of the product all on its own. He said that they had previously spent a year developing their own version of the VAP and went on to say that the NiceLabel VAP was actually more comprehensive than their own current Validated system.</p><p>Cloud Compliance enforces the rules that your business sets up to achieve Validated status, including three completely separated environments : Dev, QA and Prod to ensure that any new or modified labels pass all the steps of the approval process, including multiple levels of approver and QC/QA control. A complete workflow for each product can be specified so that no unauthorized labels can progress to the final Production environment. Plus there is a complete record of every label printed, by whom and on what printer, stored on the Compliance server for the mandated 12 years.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjp8Ofyn5kROJyOfmuL-aXaO1i44TKdUQnDWnmDcYshzvgaCwatPGHPbJ0mZPEAO2NQm2YjQIlkGy-gE9xLd4HBswggnOFAtIJ2D_cqTr5901uRCi8QFPtkYIFw99AhaAltjzKaZxM8q0cGm-04ELF18YUv7MfeSDgXyaNdlwWz_l3V2GtiFlASDPrm=s1458" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1458" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjp8Ofyn5kROJyOfmuL-aXaO1i44TKdUQnDWnmDcYshzvgaCwatPGHPbJ0mZPEAO2NQm2YjQIlkGy-gE9xLd4HBswggnOFAtIJ2D_cqTr5901uRCi8QFPtkYIFw99AhaAltjzKaZxM8q0cGm-04ELF18YUv7MfeSDgXyaNdlwWz_l3V2GtiFlASDPrm=w640-h346" width="640" /></a></div><p>Print operators are placed into Groups to ensure that they can only see and print labels that the Compliance admin has authorised them to use and departments and sub companies can have segmented document and data areas, which only that companies users can see and use.</p><p>Everything is stored in the Cloud and so is available anywhere that label printing is required, as long as they can connect to the internet.

Fontaine is not the only business making these heavy duty Fifth Wheel Couplings, but as they supply to Volvo, Scania, Daf and many more HGV manufacturers, there is a good chance you saw one today.</p><p>The safety and reliability of these couplings could not be more important and every single one is hand built to a unique specification with reference to the vehicle type and weight of trailer being used. So Manufacturers like Volvo and others require a precise "certificate" that details that the coupling has been manufactured to specification and includes the exact "torque" that each bolt has been tightened to.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOWndAe_Qqxk2xBBanaRSiG5YRZOL16ib41i658hFfkZ-96ujMNZI-3uRtTJTY-XcUM-JTcZPm-okkUYRCCoZ5BOsRyBDqdkL1pOHZX8MkCRnFUNm2-VffT632lc7Jx355CAASRzUw0r8/s1920/Zebra+MC+3300+reading+RFiD+label.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Barcode-IT RFiD Track & Trace for Fontaine Fifth Wheel" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOWndAe_Qqxk2xBBanaRSiG5YRZOL16ib41i658hFfkZ-96ujMNZI-3uRtTJTY-XcUM-JTcZPm-okkUYRCCoZ5BOsRyBDqdkL1pOHZX8MkCRnFUNm2-VffT632lc7Jx355CAASRzUw0r8/w640-h360/Zebra+MC+3300+reading+RFiD+label.png" title="Barcode-IT RFiD Track & Trace for Fontaine Fifth Wheel" width="640" /></a></div>To conform to and exceed these requirements, Fontaine engaged Barcode-IT to design and build a system to manage the entire process, using a unique combination of RFID and Barcode technologies. The system built by Barcode-IT used new cutting edge RFID labels from Zebra technologies, with the capability to be read with RFID scanners when affixed to the large metal couplings. Normal RFID labels do not work well when used on large metal objects, but <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/industrial/on-metal-rfid-label-solution.html?tactic_type=SLO&tactic_detail=AV_Next+Gen+Silverline+RFID+Tags_LI_NA_None" target="_blank">Zebra's Silverline labels</a> give the performance of hard RFID tags with the usability of printable labels.<p></p><p>The Barcode-IT solution starts by requesting the Product ID to be input on a Zebra MC3300 RFiD mobile computer running a bespoke server side WiFi application. The App load the correct specs for that part number and ensure that the correct components are selected and encodes and prints the SilverLine RFiD label with the component serial number. The RFiD tag is then re-scanned for validation.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZzqIV8TDDh03JsJs8oexl7AEmtsDm5BMWhw6uM7YTRC0unJ-76g8hxxuXuRu7-SqXjPN03NGm8gCzBjmf3cnssP6gbk97hhqJbbNDd2HEJZuLTg_MXMNUF6f6oE8EcSLBlCRs7Mu8mg/s1920/Atlas+Copco+Powerfocus+in+action.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Atlas Copco Power Focus 6000 in action" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZzqIV8TDDh03JsJs8oexl7AEmtsDm5BMWhw6uM7YTRC0unJ-76g8hxxuXuRu7-SqXjPN03NGm8gCzBjmf3cnssP6gbk97hhqJbbNDd2HEJZuLTg_MXMNUF6f6oE8EcSLBlCRs7Mu8mg/w400-h225/Atlas+Copco+Powerfocus+in+action.png" title="Atlas Copco Power Focus 6000 in action" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Baxx7iI9917QFxAguMqG0ni-djCe91VP-0nGaW9xCuWYCst3pu8xtCGjOaY3-gmZTuCtaeFdOIzv8XCBUu5myzICyzPd2EZcKl93g9erFZE2TiwfCsgVL0H05gFPa375hfmrUsosOT8/s1276/Atlas+Copco+PowerFocus.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Atlas Copco Power Focus" border="0" data-original-height="1007" data-original-width="1276" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Baxx7iI9917QFxAguMqG0ni-djCe91VP-0nGaW9xCuWYCst3pu8xtCGjOaY3-gmZTuCtaeFdOIzv8XCBUu5myzICyzPd2EZcKl93g9erFZE2TiwfCsgVL0H05gFPa375hfmrUsosOT8/w240-h189/Atlas+Copco+PowerFocus.jpg" title="Atlas Copco Power Focus" width="240" /></a> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>The Barcode-IT App then communicates with an Atlas Copco Power Focus 6000 to set the precise torque settings for that coupling, the settings for which are registered against the Serial Number encoded in the RFiD tag.</p><p>The coupling then goes through the paint process and the tag is covered over, however the serial number is then read using Zebra MC3300 RFiD mobile computers and reprinted as barcode labels to attach to the device and its packaging.</p><p>From that point forward the Barcode-IT solution ensures that all couplings are tracked by serial number to ensure that right unit is identified and correct SSCC shipping labels are used.</p><p></p><p>A short Video has been produced that details the process and shows the solution in action.

Their Enterprise computer system is SAP and they run the whole business on this platform. However over time the warehouse system ( SAP WM ) had been left behind and so Twinings embarked on a radical overhaul of the warehouse, its software front end into SAP and the mobile devices that they used to manage all the warehouse transactions. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4vT6CLjvKkxwrW42tfBkn27E_QpzY7GceYwVgPk3jgXsdd1zbsYcDD7IiJIRo21RzQyz3rv2044trLRBUFqovcd-SNDIIXOevO_c7RGuUR0u0lAlro74bcCZ7lIoXNI4jdlNwOy04H8E/s1690/Twinings+-+Front+Image.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="1690" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4vT6CLjvKkxwrW42tfBkn27E_QpzY7GceYwVgPk3jgXsdd1zbsYcDD7IiJIRo21RzQyz3rv2044trLRBUFqovcd-SNDIIXOevO_c7RGuUR0u0lAlro74bcCZ7lIoXNI4jdlNwOy04H8E/w379-h213/Twinings+-+Front+Image.png" width="379" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Alan Talbot - Projects Systems Manager tells the story of the upgrade and the benefits and efficiency that Twinings gained from the new hardware and software.</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='551' height='311' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyV3XIF3_htGlboCEoNZBQHjXBR72W9hVHq6TFug9PPEE4hdpX_jhRJZnUBuIvJ34tUmN15ENCVR3jYe9Qrrw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p>Barcode-IT take the time to fully understand your business processes and the needs and methods in the warehouse, as well as your WMS and ERP system.

But there's rugged, as in "its a lot better than a mobile phone" and then there's <u>really rugged</u>, as in designed from the ground up to be capable of standing up to the harshest manufacturing, warehouse or logistics set-up.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="298" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WxJhy5Mv1PQ" width="545" youtube-src-id="WxJhy5Mv1PQ"></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> When the MC9090 was introduced in 2008 it was an instant hit with many large businesses running large ERP systems such as SAP and Warehouse Logistics operations. The MC9090 redefined the Rugged Mobile computer and its a testament to their ruggedness and reliability that some units are still being used today.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The MC9300 (Android) is the latest evolution of that original concept, a hand held device that is over engineered for very active use, while still ergonomically designed to allow optimum performance for the worker. In addition the Latest MC9300 uses an Enterprise version of Android to power through the ERP or WMS interface and provide a level of security not seen on other competing units.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Why Android? Well its simple really, its because Microsoft retired hurt from the industrial mobile operating system market which is had dominated for years. Microsoft did not do well in the mobile phone market and so decided to abandon its mobile phone OS platform which left industrial device manufacturers with little choice but to move to Android. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/3301136272900187584/4479165446493102191" target="_blank">Read our Blog on "The bitter end for Windows"</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Zebra Technologies were the first of the manufacturers to adopt Android and quickly realised that a "standard" version of Android would not be suitable for most corporate customers and so Zebra worked with Google and others to re-engineer a much more robust Enterprise version of Android that deals with all the security and operational issues that large corporate customers were concerned about.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7u_XMkf5jylnY__gYCp8H8fCu7FMwkPgHaphEbxMcN91yCZaFYNByP_f6l1gkLnPuQQ_QEGnfBdXPlnoz1LUN6YTG_gvYto3u_7suevOhdjsRkkFl63nkoK0Y1u3coUDouvjwiSXLQE/s500/MC9300.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Zebra MC9300 from Barcode-IT" border="0" data-original-height="337" data-original-width="500" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7u_XMkf5jylnY__gYCp8H8fCu7FMwkPgHaphEbxMcN91yCZaFYNByP_f6l1gkLnPuQQ_QEGnfBdXPlnoz1LUN6YTG_gvYto3u_7suevOhdjsRkkFl63nkoK0Y1u3coUDouvjwiSXLQE/w320-h216/MC9300.jpg" title="Zebra MC9300 from Barcode-IT" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So now in the MC9300 you have the perfect combination of robust construction, ergonomic design, lightening performance and secure operation that makes the MC9300 truly rugged and ideal for use in our high speed, deliver it tomorrow world.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Watch this video for a 90 second overview of why its the perfect rugged mobile computer for your business.<br /></div><br />Barcode-IThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08597639912121936235noreply@blogger.com0United Kingdom55.378051 -3.43597327.067817163821154 -38.592223 83.688284836178838 31.720277tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301136272900187584.post-3673477003524188812020-04-27T11:44:00.002+01:002020-09-24T11:55:29.056+01:00Preparing Your Business For Change: Are You Ready For Business Post COVID-19 Lockdown?<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small; mso-themecolor: text1;">As the UK’s
response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to develop, organisations are
facing significant challenges and need to respond rapidly, whether that is
immediately or following re-opening after lockdown. Everyone is speculating
about it, but no-one really knows when the lockdown will end or what post
lockdown UK will look like, especially for non-essential businesses, who are
currently furloughed. </span></span></div>

all, just how important it is to ensure that information about illness and
health is communicated efficiently. </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small; mso-themecolor: text1;">One thing we can be sure of, is that additional measures will need to be
put into place within businesses to protect both staff and visitors, and
prevent the further spread of this, or any other virus in the future. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Under the current regulations, the virus has made it crucial
for workplaces to limit unnecessary person-to-person contact and potential
transmission incidents. But once the lockdown is ended, it will become more
important than ever that businesses have their own way of screening visitors and
staff members coming into the building, to protect other employees and prevent
further spread. If someone, who may be a risk to the health and safety of
staff, enters your premises, you need to be able to identify them and take any
necessary action; whether that’s to allow them entry in a controlled manner or
to ask them to kindly reschedule and return at a later date dependant on your
own company protocol for denying entry of high-risk individuals.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">By implementing an automated entry system (<a href="https://www.audiovisual-it.co.uk/entry-system">Visitor Management System</a>), businesses are able to pre-register individuals scheduled
to visit site or simply ask them to answer questions at reception. This
technology makes it possible to inform your visitors of site rules, PPE
requirements and explain the check in process, whilst having the ability to
store and recall this important information easily and quickly. Visitors can be
asked questions regarding recent health issues and foreign travel, as this will
be critical to mitigate the risk of any disease spreading through your
business.</span></span></div>

How to stay safe when using Cloud applications.We are all having our first real taste of Cloud based applications during the COVID-19 pandemic, and like all shiny new things, it's interesting and fun to try, but there are plenty of "gotchas" along the way - security being probably the most important consideration.<br />
<br />
For example; we offer a Cloud-based labelling product called Label Cloud, which is a method of distributing the ability to print labels to remote users (anywhere in the world), using their local printer and PC as the workstation. The beauty of this solution is that all of the important data and label designs are stored in the Cloud, so that print users can only interact with the labels and variable data that's in the Cloud, with admin functions such as label creation, connection to the information database and change control, all kept separate and not accessible by users.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdweVVMlq7ce_YHRHy5qeOSCrw5uumHbovqgAPW8LT3p35GozZw43ETEhWP-3rV_CJUB44gzmFrWWAhRvYa_CeIbls1iD_itkAwbpXC51yFgbIlNJ4Xkscsd3O79erqNdV2IMRvUMWJnI/s500/Cloud+Logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cloud Labelling solutions from Barcode-IT" border="0" data-original-height="220" data-original-width="500" height="88" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdweVVMlq7ce_YHRHy5qeOSCrw5uumHbovqgAPW8LT3p35GozZw43ETEhWP-3rV_CJUB44gzmFrWWAhRvYa_CeIbls1iD_itkAwbpXC51yFgbIlNJ4Xkscsd3O79erqNdV2IMRvUMWJnI/w200-h88/Cloud+Logo.png" title="Label Cloud" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This data and label information can be highly sensitive, with any mistakes; either accidental or malicious, having painful and disastrous consequences for the business in question. Imagine the trouble that thousands of product labels with rude messages could wreak on a big retail company for example.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgs8Z2nzKivIn7WQnkc0MqnQYs2p4Sq8I1eWrBpOFjpA6HC289sKG1eDH6nXP0L1t2ar-ADYrjKNGBgtO40qfOiS7DI92dg7cEKRtpy054-A4-84br_qzNMJR5UoFc5wCz0OcjV1SYBZU/s1280/Warehouse+with+Integrator+badge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgs8Z2nzKivIn7WQnkc0MqnQYs2p4Sq8I1eWrBpOFjpA6HC289sKG1eDH6nXP0L1t2ar-ADYrjKNGBgtO40qfOiS7DI92dg7cEKRtpy054-A4-84br_qzNMJR5UoFc5wCz0OcjV1SYBZU/w640-h360/Warehouse+with+Integrator+badge.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<br />
So, whilst we are able to enjoy the powerful features of
Cloud based applications and all the benefits they can bring, absolute
control becomes the most important consideration. Heavy duty security, particularly on the Internet, is a very expensive game to be in and with major customers involved, all wanting an absolute guarantee, it can soon become an impossible task for all but the very largest players to compete. So, how can we ensure our customer's information is secure when hosting a Label Cloud solution?<br />
<br />
Well, apparently we don't have to worry. When receiving my invitation to join our in-house Label Cloud demonstration, I was surprised to be asked for a Microsoft or Google email address to use as my login. Annoyed, as I didn't have either, and frankly didn't want either (yet another thing to remember!), it soon became clear why I needed one. It's so that giants like Microsoft and Google can do the "heavy lifting" on the first level of security and authentication, removing the need for additional and costly security measures.<br />
<br />
And really, who is better qualified to undertake this difficult security task, than the two largest companies in the IT world?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
This example gives us a clear indication of the future of Cloud based solutions. When setting up an account for someone in the Cloud, we won't need to store user detail or passwords, we'll simply send an invitation to a user, using their normal email address and they choose Microsoft or Google accounts to use for authentication. We never know what it is, so can't lose it or have it stolen plus Microsoft and Google act as our "Mighty Gate Keepers", while we get on with providing our customers with powerful remote labelling solutions. Everybody wins and most importantly stays secure!<br />
<br />
So, if you're looking to move your labelling solution into the Cloud to take advantage of the numerous benefits, don't let security concerns put you off.

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Our top selling mid range thermal printer, the Sato

<span style="font-family: "arial";">But with label printers, as with many other
technology devices, its the little things that make all the difference
to the person who actually uses the printer. Higher print speed, faster
processor or larger label roll size, don't mean much to the worker. But
a wide opening print head or a mechanism that does not cause "ribbon
wrinkle" are the little things that make the user love their label
printers.</span></div>

warehouse, which means that moving between WiFi Access Points ( APs)
should not cause the signal to be dropped, but continue to work
seamlessly and continuing to send and receive information to the ERP or
WMS. This depends on using "industrial WiFi" where the APs work
behind the scenes to manage the data so that the user is never
disconnected. True industrial mobile devices from companies such as
Zebra and Datalogic,also contain dual antennas, so that data is
transmitted on one antenna while the other is negotiating with the

If you are implementing a new WLAN, the process should start with a
full wireless site survey. The design of your WiFi network will depend
on the vendor or systems integrator knowing how the warehouse is laid
out, what potential sources of interference exist, and what types of
stock will be stored there. For highly dynamic warehouses, all
potential stocking and staffing scenarios should be considered in
advance to ensure the network can perform under all circumstances.<br />

<br />
Typically, these issues may include dead zones with no coverage,
competition for bandwidth, or sluggish throughput. Depending on the
nature of the problem, you may need to increase your access point
density or increase AP power. That’s because many smaller handheld
devices don’t have enough power to effectively communicate with the
access points. The wireless infrastructure should be configured to
serve the lowest-powered mobile devices that will be used in the
facility.<br />
<br />
The network should also be designed with redundancy in mind, so that if
there is a problem with a single AP, mobile devices can quickly roam to
a neighboring AP and minimize downtime. If the wireless
infrastructure will carry voice in addition to data traffic, the
network should be configured to prioritize the more latency-sensitive
voice traffic.<br />

We have learned how best to use them and how to configure them for best customer performance.<br />
<br />
However recently we have come across an issue that we did not anticipate and which caused our customer serious problems.<br />
<br />
We work with this customer to choose and configure some Zebra Mobile computers, which were running an SAP S/4 Hana mobile client. The customer was very happy and everything worked well. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWsLbEvH-B2Tc2e8G8DShMtXcs5cLRKBkemCtIxbeTou0cvSl4RYBgtKaM0K9CA8ao-fG7TDVauQUveZXdoQaNRklhyphenhyphenhbCtd9-gYYk0w3ptEkdCQDCi8WjX06En3HB__QV9BaM4JkX9mU/s1600/Zebra-new-scanner-TC8000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWsLbEvH-B2Tc2e8G8DShMtXcs5cLRKBkemCtIxbeTou0cvSl4RYBgtKaM0K9CA8ao-fG7TDVauQUveZXdoQaNRklhyphenhyphenhbCtd9-gYYk0w3ptEkdCQDCi8WjX06En3HB__QV9BaM4JkX9mU/s320/Zebra-new-scanner-TC8000.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Unfortunately as is the case sometimes, for the 2nd round of supply, the customer purchasing dept. opted to buy additional devices from another supplier, who specialists in internet sales and does not offer any advice or end user assistance, (you know who I mean!). But hey what could go wrong? They had the exact model part number that we had supplied previously and so chose the cheaper supplier. They had our config for the mobile devices and loaded the SAP client, but immediately ran into problems, the SAP client did not work as expected, the screen did not look the same and some barcodes had missing characters at the end, or did not automatically move to the next field.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The customer complained to the SAP supplier, who quite rightly said that the same client was running on all the devices. Eventually after trying and failing to get assistance from the internet supplier, with tail firmly between legs, they turned back to Barcode-IT to ask why our devices worked but the same device from the other supplier did not.<br />
<br />
After agreeing a fee to examine this problem (which was probably more that the saving made buying from the big internet supplier ) our technicians found the problem. <b>The Android version was a higher revision on the new devices!</b> Same part number, identical config, but some subtle difference in the underlying OS was changing the way that the SAP client interacted with the mobile device. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGfp2_2jrQDMTdV0XNGCSV_MPs4gCl9fJk7-1u0q7xzObP2PzQ84_oWjwW4tz1HrpueAgrnM-SLcWD7LgJFwBjxk_YOmLIKRkPMcsXalyQgZOislj0dgdmp659-zswIilgfrzLVYAweM/s1600/android-logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="1000" height="136" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGfp2_2jrQDMTdV0XNGCSV_MPs4gCl9fJk7-1u0q7xzObP2PzQ84_oWjwW4tz1HrpueAgrnM-SLcWD7LgJFwBjxk_YOmLIKRkPMcsXalyQgZOislj0dgdmp659-zswIilgfrzLVYAweM/s320/android-logo.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It was not the SAP software suppliers fault, his SAP client could be made to work on either device, but with slightly different configs, for how the screen was displayed and how the barcode scanner sent data to the software. We gave the customer two options, run the devices with two different configs ( a potential nightmare for the future ) or downgrade the new device to the original version of Android, which is fortunately possible, thanks to Zebra's Enterprise grade products.<br />
<br />
Remember, Android is a mobile phone operating system underneath and is updated much more often than an Enterprise industrial mobile device.<br />
<br />
Two big points to take from this tale.<br />
<ol>
<li>Use a supplier who understands your system and is certified by the manufacturer to manage and configure your industrial mobile devices. Not a box shifted!</li>
<li>Just because its a later version of Android does not mean its better for your business. There may be no advantage at all. Sometimes it's "better the devil you know!"</li>
</ol>
At Barcode-IT we stage all the devices before delivery, ensure the Android is the same version as that tested in the field and config the devices to be ready to work immediately. Something that all good suppliers should do.<br />

So the real advise is, Use a Professional Supplier to buy the whole solution. Avoid buying the separate items, Software, Printers, Labels, Ribbons for different suppliers.<br />
<br />
The reason for this thinking is that without understanding the whole process of what you need barcode labels for, what your business is and what the labels are used for, it's impossible to specify the right combination of products.<br />
<h3>
Do's and Don'ts - Barcode label printing</h3>
<ul>
<li><b>Do</b> speak to the supplier about the whole project, explaining what the barcodes are for, how the labels will be used and what industry your business serves. There may be strict rules about the use of some barcode labels. Some customers will fine you if you get it wrong!</li>
<li><b>Do</b> find out how many labels per day you will print, as this will affect what model of label printer you should buy. Large volumes of labels need industrial, faster, bigger printers.</li>
<li><b>Do</b> use your ERP to print labels directly, if the ERP supports barcode label printing, many such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and Sage will print barcode labels directly.</li>
<li><b>Do</b> make it easy for workers to print labels by using "smart" labelling software that does all the work for them.</li>
<li><b>Do </b>buy a support contract for the software <u>and</u> the label printers. Production stops when you can't print labels.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Don't </b>make assumptions about the labels, experts will explain about short life DT (direct thermal) labels and long life TT (thermal transfer) labels and when to use each. </li>
<li><b>Don't </b>make a different label design for each of your products, use software that will connect to a database and pull variable data directly from your ERP or data system. </li>
<li><b>Don't</b> buy the cheapest Barcode Label Software and expect it to
print complex labels with variable elements, such as GS1 128 - EAN 13 -
SSCC - any 2D barcodes or for pharma or medical applications.</li>
<li><b>Don't </b>buy your labelling software from the cheapest supplier, you will almost certainly need help and training to get the best out of your system </li>
</ul>

<b><span style="font-size: small;">MobileNav and Zebra TC 8000 perfect partners for Navision Warehouse operations. </span></b></div>
<br />
MobileNav is the perfect tool to allow your workers and users to have the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics NAV or Microsoft Dynamics 365 on the move. In the warehouse, in manufacturing or anywhere in your business, MobileNav lets you do business transactions on the move.<br />
<br />
Most Navision users find that the Warehouse is one of the most important areas of the business to benefit from MobileNav which fully supports warehousing workflow, allowing your warehouse employees to perform
their tasks on mobile devices quickly and effectively, making
paper-based working obsolete. Thanks to the state-of-the-art barcode
reading registration, errors totally disappear. The Inventory menu
of the application allows you to track the items in your warehouse. You
can access your up-to-date stock information (Bin Content, Serial No.,
Lot No., Expiration Date, etc.).<br />

And to complement MobileNav the recommended mobile device is the TC8000/ TC8300 from Zebra technologies.<br />
<br />
Up to <b>33% lighter</b> than traditional models to reduce muscle fatigue among workers<br />
<br />
Designed to face the user while scanning, the larger screen eliminates
the need to tilt and verify each scan, increasing efficiency on every
scan.<br />

The TC 800 is a very special warehouse mobile device. It’s the ground-breaking all new warehouse mobile computer designed
to deliver revolutionary productivity increases in the warehouse. In
fact, on average, it saves 14%<sup>*</sup> per worker versus traditional form factors – it’s like gaining an extra hour of productivity, per worker, per day.<br />
<br />
And it’s the only device on the market that simplifies it all — how
your workers physically use the device and interact with your warehouse
application.<br />

As the scanning of barcodes, both 1D and 2D, is becoming present in every aspect of the manufacturing, warehouse and logistics processes, so the barcode scanner has evolved to make it easier for the worker to carry out both the industrial or logistics task and capture the task's data by scanning barcodes. Scanners have changed from corded to wireless to allow operator freedom, but the simple human effort to deal with a hand held device in the form of a barcode scanner, while doing the job, causes some problems that until now have not been addressed.</div>

Until now barcode scanners have needed to be carried around and held in a particular way to allow barcodes to be scanned. This disables the worker from any sort of product handling that needs two hands and and makes it awkward to carry out high speed tasks.</div>

Now there is a new barcode scanner from ProGlove, which has been specifically designed to solve all of these issues. Worn as a full or half glove (made to a proper industrial spec) the ProGlove is super light and easy for the operator to use and the battery lasts 15 hours - (about 6000 scans) </div>
