Use Bar Code PDA Allinone Solution

Bar code PDA all-in-one solution for immediate use for the annual, daily or closing inventory in Commerce, industry, laboratories and health care many operations are similar for most users. This has prompted macro ID to provide standard software modules for the Janam PDAs of the XP series, with which software development companies in industry, individual and wholesale trade, laboratories, etc can be quickly and cost-effectively. Immediately, projects with, for example, only two devices and high development costs would be doomed to failure. That’s why macro has come up with a cheaper way of developing software IDENT. For the rugged bar code PDA XP20 and XP30, where the stable operating system PalmOS 5.4.9. Garnet runs, has developed various, inexpensive software modules macro IDENT. In particular, individual adjustments, despite the developed standard software, can be made.

INVENTORY software module contains an inventory list (article position), in which data are recorded in mobile. Already covered Positions can be changed at any time and can be deleted. The individual items in the list are numbered. In addition to manually entering part numbers of single positions of 1 d in the PDA integrated 2D bar code scanner allows a simpler, faster and above all error-free input of the number (s) by scanning the bar code of that is pasted usually on the articles. The amount is entered via the keyboard. A search for an already covered code is also included, should no longer know the staff, whether an article with was already in the inventory list. The catalog module is optionally available, which provides additional information to the article (in the import file) to the user, such as bar code, article number, article name, price, and comment. This data can also be looked up in this module.

In connection with the inventory solution is feasible then the following procedure: scan the barcode, the accompanying data from E.g. a company’s internal database are displayed by the catalog engine, it is the amount of the existing article is entered and the data be saved completely. After the complete inventory is done and all the PDA data were collected, the data from the barcode PDA to the PC via the USB / RS232 charging / communications station transfer. A CSV file is automatically created on the PC for further processing.
