Re: Scanning Obstacle

[Bonnie_Lokenvitz2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for the suggestions.  RFID isn't feasible this year but will
become a project too soon.

This is a self-imposed problem.  We wrap most of our finished goods
on the pallet it will ship on.  The person doing the wrapping is not
necessarily the material handler who locates the inventory.

We currently have what we call a 'move' ticket on the pallet that
has the MO number, the carton quantity and the number of boxes.
QC also stamps this 'move' ticket.  We plan on eliminating this ticket.

We prefer not to have the fork-lift operator hop off and cut the wrap
to scan.

Dale - Had to google CCD scanner (charged-couple device) to see what it is.
We actually use them for a different application but they are tied to a PC.
Do they come in 'wireless' versions?  And if so, does anyone recommend
a brand?
