Stop Bad Barcodes & Eliminate Compliance Fines with Online Data Validation

AVAILABLE ON DEMAND
Originally broadcast on:
Date: Tuesday, May 24, 2011
Time: 2:00 pm ET/11:00 am PT
Duration: 60 minutes (including Q&A)

Hosted by PEAK Technologies Inc., featuring Printronix

The principal goal of barcoding is to provide an accurate representation of data, about an object to which it is affixed. Barcode labeling is a ubiquitous element of US commerce and is utilized in nearly every facet of business. With the incorporation of an Online Data Validation (or ODV) solution into a thermal label printing environment, you can guarantee that this (barcode) data is 100% machine scannable, 100% of the time. This certainty will directly increase throughput efficiency, reduce non-compliance fines, decrease many lagging production times and help prevent rejected or delayed shipments due to improperly identified product. Considering that thermal printing is a commonly utilized process in industries such as logistics, manufacturing & distribution, retail, healthcare, state and local government and even unique or specialty applications, an ODV solution may seamlessly integrate into the majority of the current business processes.

This webinar, hosted by PEAK Technologies and Printronix, will describe how the incorporation of an Online Data Validation solution can directly improve your business operations, reduce cost, and increase throughput efficiency. This webinar will help you identify the considerations that should be identified in thermal printing environments and illustrate how, with the integration expertise of PEAK Technologies, attendees may bring their applications into compliance with specific bar code mandates. This presentation will also identify some of the key steps required to upgrade an existing process that does not meet your current production quality control capabilities.

Additionally, attendees will increase their knowledge of industry applications and better understand the direct benefits of online validation solutions to better recognize and apply modern techniques for enhanced user control beyond the typical thermal label printing practices in use today.

Key Learning Points:

• Identify and understand the benefits of online bar code validation.
• Meet bar code compliance or quality control mandates while eliminating associated customer fines.
• Reduce rejected or delayed shipments due to barcoding.
• Understand ODV's automatic Error Actions in faulty printing environments.
• Incorporation of Online Validation in various printing environments.
• Overview of notification methods when validation errors occur.
• Understand how ODV is a path to true ISO9000 or QC archiving.
• Important considerations when implementing an Online Data Validation solution.

Time: 2:00 pm ET/11:00 am PT
Duration: 60 minutes (including Q&A)

Hosted by SAPinsider, sponsored by PEAK Technologies Inc. and Zebra Technologies

If you're running 50, 75, 100 or more barcode printers, the "cross your fingers" approach to printer management in your SAP system just isn't working.

No more guesswork, worries or surprises.

This webinar hosted by PEAK Technologies and Zebra Technologies outlines tips and techniques to:

  • Monitor, test, troubleshoot and reset label printers/applicators from a central cockpit
  • Store all necessary label formats and images on the printer, maximizing performance
  • Inform users and supervisors of any printing errors or potential errors
  • Validate production line processes

Time: 2:00 pm ET/11:00 am PT
Duration: 60 minutes (including Q&A)

Hosted by SAPinsider, sponsored by PEAK Technologies, Inc. and Intermec Technologies

The primary goals of most industrial data collection SAP solutions are typically the same; implement a cost-effective system that meets the company's needs, makes its users more efficient, reduces errors and is maintainable. However, imagine an industrial data collection solution with a great SAP application utilizing a user interface that is slow, constantly losing its connection with the host or uses a poor choice of mobile device for the given application.

This webinar hosted by PEAK Technologies and Intermec Technologies explores the tips and techniques to implementing a successful and usable data collection system for industrial SAP environments.
