Optimizing Manufacturing Performance With The Rugged DS3400 Series Scanners

As manufacturers look for new ways to cut costs without cutting quality, their attention has become focused on inventory control. New two-dimensional (2D) bar codes and direct part marking techniques are ushering in capabilities previously unavailable on the factory floor. These advances allow parts manufacturers to encode more information on smaller and otherwise difficult to label components, giving their downstream manufacturing customers the ability to track inventory from the time the parts are received in-house through to the finished product.
