Intermec is now offering their rugged CK3 mobile computer with Vocollect’s wireless headset, the SRX, allowing mobile workers in warehouses and distribution centers to experience the benefits of mobility through voice. This combination of hardware and software is ideal for tough warehouse environments, offering the necessary ruggedness and flexibility to get the job done with increased productivity, convenience and safety.
Having Vocollect on the Intermec CK3 allows companies to leverage their device management and process logic software with client-based tools and applications in order to support mobile workers that are responsible for picking, replenishment, put-away and cycle-counting. Whether the CK3 is worn, or mounted on a forklift, integrating wireless voice technology allows for increased productivity, ergonomics and safety.

In today’s chaotic world of business, companies need a reliable way to manage their inventory that has been taken and returned throughout their locations. Without proper tracking, business can experience missing inventory, in addition to inaccurate inventory counts.
Using a check-in/check-out inventory control application, in conjunction with the proper hardware, allows organizations to gain more visibility into their inventory. In order to implement this, organizations will typically upload their information into the inventory software application and use tamper-proof barcode labels for each item that will be checked in and or out. When an item is taken from the inventory, a record is automatically created.
Typically, check-in/check-out solutions are used in applications such as offices, hospitals, repair shops, schools, emergency services and military units and are becoming more and more popular. In fact, the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA), recently named Check-in/Check-out Inventory solutions their Solution of the Month for February 2010.
If you’re launching a new product, or want to give your goods more visibility on the web, Amazon.com is a great way to go. There’s only one catch—if you want to sell products on Amazon, you’ll need a barcode. Here’s how to do it.
Step 1
If you’re in the US, you’ll want to choose a UPC (Universal Product Code) and if you’re in the UK, you’ll want to choose an EAN (European Article Number)*. Folks in the US should contact the GS1-US and people in the rest of the world should contact the GS1 regarding a membership application. Once you are a member (note: there is an annual fee), you will be assigned a unique company code to use on all of your products. This number will act as a prefix for your barcode. The rest of the barcode will be comprised for each specific product, since each number must be unique for the product and size. For example, if you are selling homemade shampoo in a 12 oz. bottle and 16 oz. bottle, that would require two different numbers.
*If you are self-publishing a book, you will need to use an International Standard Book Number (ISBN), or if you need to barcode a monthly publication, you will need to use the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN).
