Bar Code Labeling is a major strength area and product differentiator for Plexus. Plexus Online has built-in support for printing, reading, and utilizing bar code labels throughout the manufacturing and business process. Unlike our competitors, bar coding is an inherent part of our software design, rather than an after thought or add-on package. Plexus Online provides a huge, constantly updated library of pre-formatted bar code label formats from Honda, GM, Ford, DCX, American Axle, and all the other OEMs and Tier 1 companies. Plexus Online supports AIAG, ODETTE, and a variety of other label standards. Plexus Online can also be configured to support any other label format you require, whether it's an obscure customer requirement or an internal label.
Plexus Online specializes in implementing bar coding systems that track containers and/or individual parts on the factory floor using hand-held Pocket PCs. Containers or parts are scanned as they move around the shop floor, providing a highly accurate, real-time inventory system.
Here are some of the other areas where bar coding is used within Plexus Online:
-
Container tracking (used when there are many parts in a container)
-
Part tracking (used for larger, more complex/valuable assemblies)
-
Machine/Asset Tracking
