As one of the most common data management devices in the warehousing industry, the barcode data collector not only has the function of on-site barcode data collection, but also has mobile data transmission functions such as WIFI, GPRS, Bluetooth, and communication. It can be said to be a professional barcode management computer. Also because of this, many companies are turning their attention to barcode data collectors. As an information-based processing tool, it helps enterprises simplify work processes, improve work efficiency, and reduce data errors. Barcode data collectors are indispensable.

What is a barcode data collector?

Barcode data collectors can also be called PDAs, mobile data terminals, and handheld computers, and some of them are also called inventory machines and guns in the logistics industry or warehousing industry. Barcode data acquisition has functions such as on-site real-time data acquisition, automatic storage, instant display, instant feedback, automatic processing, and automatic transmission, providing guarantee for the authenticity, validity, real-time, and availability of on-site data. At the same time, it can also cooperate with the development software to realize more barcode data collection functions and auxiliary functions. The development software can be customized according to individual needs.

What are the application industries of barcode data collectors?

In addition to the powerful data collection function and data processing function, the barcode data collector is easy to carry is its great advantage. Because of this, its application industries include manufacturing, express logistics, supermarket stores, and the medical industry. At the same time, mobile law enforcement and government utilities are also widely used. Its use industry involves all aspects, and the list here is only a part. It can be said that as long as the barcode data needs to be managed, the barcode data collector can be used, which can improve the efficiency and bring convenience to our work.

Four must-know functions of the barcode data collector

1. Data collection: read and enter the barcode of the product through the barcode data collection scanning device, directly confirm the product quantity or through the process of manual entry, and store it in the text data format in the barcode data collector, the format is barcode (barcode) , Quantity (Number), Specification (Model)..... and other customized formats.

2. Data transmission: The data transmission function also includes data download and data upload.

Data download is to transfer the product (barcode) information that needs to be confirmed by the data collector from the computer to the barcode data collector, and then run the device manufacturer in the corresponding function of the computer management system through the communication interface between the barcode data collector and the computer. Provided data transfer program. The transmitted data includes: product barcode, name, quantity, batch, model, etc. The data download function facilitates the real-time display of the name and quantity of the currently read barcode and other data during data collection, making it clear at a glance.

Data uploading is to transfer the collected product information data to our computer through the communication interface, so that we can classify and convert the data into the corresponding database through the processing of the computer system.

3. Data deletion: When the data in the barcode data collector is uploaded to the computer database, if our local data is not needed, the data needs to be deleted to avoid superimposition or data errors when reading the data in the next batch . In some cases, the data may be sent to the computer multiple times, and the data can only be deleted after it is confirmed to be invalid. Aosun Barcode reminds you here that you must check whether the upload is complete before deleting the data; confirm whether the data is invalid.

4. System management: This function has the adjustment of checking disk space and system date and time.
