Bar Code Data Management

Bar code data is a crucial component in today’s supply chain, as more and more companies rely on Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technology for internal manufacturing processes, proper routing and distribution. As a result, it’s crucial that the data represented in those bar codes can be read, is accurate, is not duplicated, is not missing and has the quality required to guarantee its life throughout the supply chain lifecycle.

With a combination of Online Data Validation (ODV), RJS Online Verifiers (SV), PrintNet Enterprise and our companion software, Online Data Validation Data Manager (ODV Data Manager), Printronix can capture and store all key bar code content and quality metrics from every linear bar code in your system.

When your unique requirements are identified, our Professional Services can extend this capability to provide:

• Data matching of bar codes read with bar codes stored in order to prevent duplicated data or missing data
• Bar code verification on conveyor systems of preprinted packaging
• Bar code data management reports showing:
  • Summaries of bar code and label print history
  • Audit trails to back-up bar code quality performance in order to show evidence against misappropriated
    compliance fines
  • Quality metrics for in-house ISO or quality initiatives such as 6 Sigma
  • Accountability for all labels printed for FDA compliance
