New Barcode System Developed

Advantech's EPC Group has developed a bar code system to be used on all of its new products. This new standardized barcode identifies which division 'owns' the product, it's manufacturing year and month, it's revision code, and it's serial number. The internationally recognized 'Code 128' ASCII set encoding system is used. This new barcode system should help automate production and inventory management, as well as simplify and facilitate warrantee issues, because this number allows one to easily trace each individual product back to Advantech. This system can also be used by Advantech's distributors if they do not yet currently have a barcode system of their own. This system should increase overall efficiency and reduce delays and complaints.
