Project objectives:

Asset inventory using CipherLab CPT-8400/8470 terminals to make the process more transparent and faster in the company. The use of barcodes will reduce the error rate for the customer and provide accurate information on the status of assets.

Project Description:

The project is being handled using CODEWARE's Mobile Operator software product and Cipherlab's CPT-8400/8470 terminals. An interesting feature of the asset inventory using Mobile Operator software is that it can be performed both off-line and on-line.

The online part uses the Windows application Mobile Operator. Once the room is entered, the inventory codes or serial numbers of the assets are captured. Mobile Operator draws the data on the assets taken from a set excel file. At any time, at the touch of a button, a list of assets not found in a given room can be displayed.

The offline part uses the ir_communication application. After uploading the list of assets according to the set .xls file, the room is entered and the terminal is used as in the online version. The collected data is again read from the terminal using ir_communication and saved in the output .xls file.
