Taking advantage of barcode scanning in transport and shipping
The OPN-2001 data collector is designed for data collection. The device is small - very portable and has almost no power consumption, thus eliminating the need for frequent battery changes. An interesting deployment of this device is in a large transport company.
The shipping company took advantage of the fact that any information can be written in a barcode.
Thus, it is possible to record quantity, condition, shelf position, employee number, package number, etc... An interesting feature of the OPN-2001 data collector is that a date and time stamp can be attached to each piece of information.
Thus, the transport company can capture all the data it needs for transport purposes. It then sends the data via USB interface to its information system.
The undeniable advantage is that there are no mistakes when scanning codes. As the price of the equipment is in a very favourable price range, it has been possible to supply collectors in sufficient quantities to all the necessary transport staff.
The OPN-2001data collector can be worn slung around the neck for easy handling. To increase the durability of the device, it has been supplied with a protective cover.
