Why use barcodes with an inventory system?
When you implement a lab inventory system, you are strongly encouraged to use barcode technology to its fullest. Barcode enabled inventory management will speed your inventory tasks and increase the accuracy of recorded data. You can use a scanner at your PC, a mobile device, or choose a handheld data collector for field work.
At a minimum, use barcodes to identify each individual inventory item. You can select pre-printed barcodes or print them as needed from a label printer. If you choose non-barcode numbered labels, you will need to write down the tag numbers or key the numbers into the VIM Enterprise software, increasing the likelihood of data entry error. To simplify your labeling tasks, our applications integrate barcode printing functions for on-demand printing. We provide a variety of label formats to get you started.
For greater control, the Vertére Inventory Manager supports user-defined label design and printing to most standard barcode printers.
Barcode Label Specifications
Vertére offers barcode label stock to meet every requirement: freezer, shelf, dishwasher, solvents, etc. Choose the size you need, from 0.25″ x 0.75″ for small containers to 2.00″ x 1.25″” for more detailed labels. We provide stock chosen for the equipment and chemical environment to ensure consistent performance in temperature ranges from –40 to 250° F, in varying moisture conditions, and in solvent-intensive work.
Barcode Locations for Streamlined Inventory Management
In addition to labeling inventory items, you can use barcodes to tag locations throughout your facility. This enables quick and accurate physical inventory tasks—simply scan the location barcode and then scan the inventory items within that area. Move to the next location and repeat for fast, efficient inventory management.
You can also print barcodes in catalog or list formats for frequently used codes. This reduces manual keystrokes and further minimizes errors.
