We've incorporated the Job Number, Assembly Number and Operation Number into
one scan. We're using a WelchAllyn Valueteam 3060/3080 scanner. The
scanner has some programmable features that are available. Here is the
formula for Crystal Reports.
"*" + TRIM({jobasmbl.BCJOBNUM}) + "$I" + TRIM({jobasmbl.BCASMSEQ}) + "$I" +
TRIM({joboper.BCOPRSEQ}) + "$I*"
Please contact Mike at Ryzex mikea@... He can hook you up with these
scanners.
FYI we're using these scanners on some old 166 and 133 Mhz data collection
machines in the shop and don't have any problems.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Barcode Equipment
We tried using scanners a few years ago to collect time through Data
Collection. The shop employees told us this method was not as easy as using
the keyboard and mouse. However, one of our Continuous Improvement Teams is
trying to revive the issue. Is anyone successfully using scanners for Data
Collection? If so, what if any changes were made to the Job Traveler to
make the scanning more efficient? We tried to incorporate the Job Number,
Assembly Number and Operation Number into one scan, with the appropriate
tabs to move from field to field, but found the machine could not "keep up"
with the speed of the scanning which resulted in numerous errors. I agree
that scanning would eliminate some of the human errors that occur, but
unless someone has some insight into how to make the scanning process more
efficient, I think we will have to stay with the keyboard and mouse for now.
Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks,
