Bar code system 1
Project start/end: 01.10.1997 - 30.09.1998
Short description:
Designing and implementing a software system for improving in-house logistical processes, such as labeling pallets and processing delivery orders.
Supplement:
The system is implemented in multiple modules (labeling finished goods and merchandise, dispatching pallets) with PowerBuilder. Data is stored on an Oracle database. Scanners are connected on a text basis via the interface specified by the hardware manufacturer. A palletizing counter and the label printer are connected to the PC via serial RS485 ports. A component created with C++ and the COM technology is responsible for communicating with the ports. The component is used by the PowerBuilder application.
Technical description:
The bar code system controls material handling. Inventory management is supported, e.g. in the context of the inventory, ensuring that deliveries are processed correctly, and in tracking pallets.
