Barcode-based Job Tracking

Feb. 9, 2010
CheckMate Work In Process is a billed as a low-cost software program based on barcode technology.
It is targeted for small to mid-sized manufacturers who don’t want to pay for the more complex integrated Work In Process systems sold with typical manufacturing ERP software. Using the CheckMate WIP software, the work-order can be tracked to a “location” (department, task or employee). The work-order is printed with a barcode identification number and each location is assigned a barcoded badge. The work-order number and the badge are scanned using a barcode reader as the job moves into a location. The work-order remains assigned to that location until it is scanned again into another location. Multiple jobs many be assigned to the location and timeframes may be set for each task and reported when overdue.Dynamic Systems Inc.www.click2barcode.com800.342.3999
