This application uses 3 Microscan
MS 890's w/MS Connect 210 and our Windows based software to read Bar codes on a
pallet before and after shrink wrapping
It all starts with a WIP. The operator scans the WIP
ticket which interfaces with their ERP system. This system sends down label data
which we intercept and convert to serial data. This serial data gets parsed and
the key tracking information is recorded. Before shrink wrapping, the WIP is scanned
by a Microscan MS 890 and connected
to the network using a Microscan MS Connect 210 with TCP/IP and a 2 line display.
If the data is correct, our program turns on a green light on the stack and lets
the operator know the pallet is ready for shrink wrap.
After shrink wrap, the label data is sent to the corner
wrap print apply systems. The 4 labels are applied and the 2 side labels are scanned.
If the data is correct, the pallet rolls into the warehouse. If the data is incorrect,
the conveyor is stopped until the situation is corrected.
This solution allows the customer to be able to automate
the application of labels to the pallet. It also provides several steps of automatic
pallet/label validation to ensure that the pallets are labeled properly. Quality
data is also made available as well as operator accountibility.
