Manufacturers have to ensure barcodes are
accurate on products to be sure they are coded, priced, inventoried and
accounted for correctly. This process is completed using a barcode verifier to
scan the barcode and read what information is actually included in the barcode.
The verifier reads the barcode and then the person using the barcode verifier
can then review the information to make sure it is accurate as to what the
product is that has been produced .These barcode verifiers can be found in
various locations throughout a manufacturing facility.
The first area one might be found is in the
printing press room where the barcodes are first printed. At this point the verification process is
designed to ensure the barcodes have been accurately printed and any defects
found can be corrected and reprinted prior to the barcodes being applied to the
products themselves. The second place a
barcode verifier might be found is at the end of the manufacturing run to
ensure the barcode applied to products matches the product they are attached
to. This ensures the right items have the right codes on them to ensure correct
inventory and production levels are kept.
Because barcode verifiers are used in
manufacturing in a few different forms, Provident Group offers barcode
verifiers that are both stationary and mobile for companies to use. The mobile verifiers can be hooked up to a laptop computer and gives the user the
ability to move from station to station verifying the barcodes. This is much more efficient than having
several barcode
verifiers, one at each end of a production run. By ordering barcode verification equipment
from Provident Group a manufacturer can be certain the barcodes used on their
produces are accurate when the products leave the factory.
