We check your barcodes… so you don’t have to! 

Today’s supply chains are dependent upon Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technology for proper routing and distribution. AIDC allows no tolerance for bar code scanning failure as products pass through the supply chain. Bar codes must read -- 100% of the time. Any bar code reading failure can escalate into a rejected item, manual recovery steps, time delay, a loss in productivity, an unhappy customer, compliance failure fines, or a loss of business.

To avoid such problems, Printronix created Online Data Validation (ODV^TM ). This unique new quality control option inspects each bar coded label printed on a Printronix T5000 thermal printer.

Specifically, ODV technology analyzes each bar code just after it is printed. This 100% analysis verifies that the bar code print image falls well within each bar code’s symbology specifications -- the bar code will scan successfully. If the label fails, it is automatically cancelled and a replacement label is printed.

In summary,

• ODV evaluates every bar code label to provide total scanning assurance.
• ODV eliminates the need for costly human intervention in the bar code validation process.
• Combined with Printronix PrintNet^® Plus, ODV "closes the loop" on bar code quality control and provides unprecedented visibility of mission-critical bar coding tasks.
