Datastream 7i Barcoding allows users to design and print labels for assets, providing increased mobility and system functionality. Labeling assets streamlines the tracking and relocating of assets, warranty activation and updating, work registration, and other functions. Companies can also assign a barcode to employees to enable them to log their actions quickly, label standard jobs to provide quick access to job activities, or label spare-parts bins for more accurate and efficient storeroom management.
Datastream 7i Barcoding works with all of the information you already have stored in Datastream 7i. With Datastream 7i Barcoding, users can:
- Extract data from a variety of sources – equipment, parts, receipts, employees and more – using Web Services
- Select a data source for the label
- Select barcode label formats from a library or create their own
- Print multiple labels with the same barcode
Taking inventory is just one example of how Datastream 7i Barcoding can streamline a process. The technician who is conducting inventory quickly scans each item that already has a barcode label attached. This data is uploaded directly to the Datastream 7i database where the inventory clerk can identify stock levels and make buying decisions. As new or replacement inventory comes in or as inventory goes out, the clerk can quickly print labels to be affixed and scanned, thereby increasing the accuracy of inventory while reducing time. The clerk no longer has to manually enter data into a work station, but can now capture data digitally with the click of a button.
