The integrated solution to bar code symbol verification

Johannesburg, 27 Feb 2007

Whether you're involved in the printing, packaging or retail industry, bar coding has become an integral part of the process.

Wherever an application demands accurate identification or tracking, bar coding fulfils this need.

However, despite the obvious benefits, the use of bar coding is not perfect and can be extremely costly to a company mainly as a result of the bar code symbol's quality, design and scanning properties. The solution: bar code symbol quality verifiers.

Kemtek Bar Coding Systems is a supplier of state-of-the-art bar code symbol verification equipment and now supplies the Hand Held Products' Quick Check 890 verification system for validating the readability and standards compliance of printed linear bar code symbols.

The Hand Held Products' QC 890 verifier system consists of the Quick Check 890 input device and Quick Check ImageData software, providing an out-of-the-box verification solution where bar code symbol quality is critical to operations. Being the only verifier powered by Adaptus Imaging Technology 5.0, the Hand Held Products' QC 890 verification system tests all major industry applications. It enables companies to easily meet ISO/IEC test parameters for bar code symbol conformance, including RSS and PDF417.

Key features and functionality include:

* Hands-free operation for increased test repeatability in challenging applications.
* Support for multiple languages - English, Japanese and simplified Chinese (others in development).
* Easy-to-use menu-based graphical user interface.
* Flexible connectivity - RS232 and USB or Bluetooth wireless.

Regardless of your industry, bar code symbols that are damaged, incorrect or of poor quality can lead to data errors negatively impacting operations," says Chris Meyer, National Sales Manager bar coding, Kemtek. "The Quick Check 890 verification system is designed to be a simple out-of-the-box solution. Users get everything they to need to deploy an effective verification programme in one convenient hardware and software bundle."

Kemtek will demonstrate the Hand Held Products' QC 890 verifier at the Print Expo 07. The expo is taking place from 13 to 16 March 2007 at the Nasrec Events Centre, stand C 12 in Hall 7. Kemtek will highlight the importance of verification for the retail and printing industry by demonstrating the applications and technology needed to automate procedures, increase productivity, reduce human error and improve overall customer retention.
