LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) September 15, 2005 -- ImageID Ltd.’s Visidot™ Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) system is an accurate and cost-effective solution enabling rapid multiple-asset identification and tracking. Visidot partner Weber Marking Systems, Inc. will demonstrate the system at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2005, Sept. 26-28, Booth number C1519.
In the Visidot System, cases and pallets are uniquely labeled with standard 2D Data Matrix barcodes. These barcodes can be embedded in standard shipping labels and be printed with almost all currently available barcode formatting software applications and printers. As cases and pallets pass by, the Visidot Reader captures hundreds of labels simultaneously in a single read and transmits the information to an image processing system, which promptly decodes the data from each label. The captured information is exported to a data management system in XML or other standard format. The images can be stored in a separate Image Bank for proof of shipment, quantity and condition of every case and pallet shipped.
IFCO Systems, one of the worlds leading suppliers of reusable plastic containers (RPC's) with more than 260 million rentals per year, was looking for a way to track each of its millions of RPC's throughout its network of over 40 RPC Service Centers and Storage depots all over Europe and North America. The company needed a cost-effective system that could scan an entire pallet of hundreds of crates quickly, with near 100% accuracy. With Visidot, IFCO has achieved traceability of labeled crates, real-time views of inventory at depots, views of crate cycle times, accurate records of customer shipments/returns, and the foundation for improving customer request response time.
The Visidot system delivers all the inherent benefits of traditional barcode technology, yet far surpasses it in terms of speed and efficiency of code capture – especially for tracking multiple assets. In addition, at accuracy levels of near-100% in actual installations, the Visidot solution is more cost-effective than RFID solutions.
