Actual use cases

Case 1: Barcode Tracking in Manufacturing Production Lines

Background:

A manufacturing company needs to efficiently track raw materials and semi-finished products on its production line to ensure high-quality production and inventory management. Traditional manual barcode scanning methods are inefficient and error-prone.

Solution:

The company used XTIOT XT738M to develop a plug-and-play FPC barcode engine that supports GS1-128 universal asynchronous transmitter ASCII text commands and integrated it into the production line management system.

Implementation steps:

Hardware installation: Install the XTIOT XT738M barcode scanning engine at key nodes of the production line.

Software integration: Connect the scanning engine to the control system through the universal asynchronous transmitter (UART) interface and configure ASCII text commands.

System testing: Conduct comprehensive functional tests to ensure that the scanning engine can accurately read and process the barcodes of materials that are continuously moving on the conveyor belt.

Employee training: Provide operational training to production line workers to ensure that they can use the new system correctly.

Effect:

Improve efficiency: Automated barcode reading reduces manual intervention and increases the speed of the production line.

Reduce errors: The continuous reading function reduces errors caused by manual operation and improves production quality.

Real-time tracking: The system can track the status of each component and semi-finished product in real time, improving the level of quality management.

Data synchronization: Scanned data is uploaded to the production management system in real time, realizing timely synchronization of data.

Case 2: Automation of logistics sorting center

Background:

A logistics company needs to achieve efficient sorting and tracking of packages in its sorting center to reduce errors and increase processing speed. The traditional manual barcode scanning method is inefficient and prone to errors.

Solution:

The company used XTIOT XT738M to develop a plug-and-play FPC barcode engine that supports GS1-128 universal asynchronous transmitter ASCII text commands and integrated it into the automated sorting system.

Implementation steps:

Hardware installation: Install the XTIOT XT738M barcode scanning engine at key locations on the conveyor belt.

Software integration: Connect the scanning engine to the control unit of the sorting system through the universal asynchronous transmitter (UART) interface and configure the ASCII text command.

System testing: Conduct comprehensive functional testing to ensure that the scanning engine can accurately read and process the barcodes of packages moving continuously on the conveyor belt.

Staff training: Provide system operation training to operators to ensure that they can use the new system proficiently.

Effect:

Improve efficiency: Automated barcode reading reduces manual intervention and improves sorting speed.

Reduce errors: The continuous reading function reduces errors caused by manual operation and improves sorting accuracy.

Real-time monitoring: The system can monitor the status of packages in real time for easy management and scheduling.

Data synchronization: Scanning data is uploaded to the background management system in real time for easy query and statistics.
