Planning and assessment
We'll work closely with you to determine your system objectives, help
you understand how wireless infrastructure is best implemented and used within
your business structure, and identify any potential issues up front. We'll also
document the current environment, paying close attention to any existing s.
Analysis and design
We'll analyze the radio frequency (RF) coverage and help you develop a
mobile application migration plan. Then, we'll design a system customized to
meet your business requirements. You'll learn how wireless infrastructure will
simplify your business processes and impact your existing technology.
Mobility implementation
As a full-service solution provider, eSolutions
supplies every part of the system. We can pre-configure the hardware and
software, which means your system arrives ready to install. Working onsite,
we'll complete the installation, commission the solution and provide wireless
infrastructure go-live support.

maintenance and support programs designed to ensure maximum uptime, ease of
operation, lowest total cost of ownership and continued productivity

Make or Buy Decision
Typically, comparisons of on-site versus off-site printing of bar code
labels focus on cost calculations. In practice, deciding to print bar code
labels in house or to outsource bar code symbol production is as dependent on
your business practices, data needs, material requirements and internal
resources as it is on cost.
The decision to make or buy bar code labels does not need to be made across
the board for all of a company's needs. Many companies with in-house printing
capabilities still outsource some labels simply because the requirements of
some applications can be best met by off-site printers.
As used here, the term "print" and "printer" refer to
the production of a bar code, graphics or text whether the image is printed,
imaged or etched. Further, since bar code symbols can be produced by a variety
of means that do not require label stock, the term "label" will be
used to mean both direct imaging and imaging onto a separate label.
It should be noted that, in large companies, with established photo-imaging
or printing facilities, the make-or-buy decision is not necessarily pertinent.
However, the decision criteria outlined in this article can help determine
whether to use a "demand" printing technology or to use
"commercial" capabilities.
