The products you build can’t come together without the parts you need. The smaller the parts you use, the harder they are to track. The big bar codes you scan so easily on pallets and cases can seem microscopic on the boxes your parts come in or even the parts and equipment themselves. How do you know where those parts are so you can get them when you need them?

Your parts may have been received in cases, but once those packages are broken down to individual items, the need to track them gets even more important (and challenging). Enter the ultra-rugged 3600 series scanners from Zebra Technologies. The 2D, high density version of the 3600 is ready to take on your parts management with ease.

Zebra has been providing data capture and printing solutions to manufacturers for decades. They create the products that keep businesses visibility into their operations. BAM1 has chosen to partner with Zebra to help to improve the supply chain for their customers.

With a DS3600 scanner, as soon as parts and supplies are needed, your supply workers can move to get them for your manufacturing line. The small, dense bar codes printed on the boxes are captured instantly. Your inventory is updated immediately and the workers on your line can be informed that the parts they need are on the way. Warehouse and line work seamlessly to keep your business moving and revenue coming in. Should the need arise to generate a new barcode, industrial printers like the ZT series or the portable Qln printer are up to the task. In fact, the scanner can be paired directly to the printer to generate a label if need be.

With data capture solutions from Zebra and BAM1, you can keep a close eye on your inventory and your manufacturing plant humming. We have worked with the most popular inventory and supply chain management software vendors to ensure that your solution will fit your needs.

BAM1 will not only help you select the right scanning and printing equipment, we will be there through implementation and provide reliable ongoing support. Call us today for more information at 517-263-7272.

Your manufacturing plant runs on parts and supplies. Keeping those supplies in stock and ready is impossible without tracking them from the moment they arrive. How do you make sure your business knows immediately that parts are on hand ready for put away? When perishable supplies arrive, do you your workers have the information to handle them before they damaged or spoil?

Receiving and putaway are the doorway into your inventory management process. The best way to make it flow is through the use of data capture methodologies. Zebra Technologies has a long history in supply chain management and builds barcode scanners and printers specifically designed for industrial spaces like warehouses. BAM1 has partnered with Zebra to improve the supply chain for companies.

Modern bar codes aren’t the black lines and spaces you might be used to. They are often more complex and carry additional information that is vital to keeping your parts and supplies stocked. With that in mind, 2D imaging scanners have become increasingly common.

Zebra 2D scanners like the DS3500 series capture any barcode instantly. Add to that the portable power of Qln series printers and your warehouse staff are ready for anything that arrives.

When a shipment arrives, your worker scans the barcode on the pallet or case with a rugged scanner paired with a computer connected to your WMS. A new label can be generated immediately with a Qln printer being worn or attached to a forklift or hand truck. The new label has another barcode and information for the put away worker such as location and inventory code for your systems.

From there, the product is in your system, ready for use in your manufacturing process. This one step ensures you have what you need on hand when you need it.

In addition to providing the hardware you need, BAM1 is ready to help you implement your data capture solution and keep it running. Call us today for more information at 517-263-7272.

Your revenue relies on the pace and accuracy of your operations. The pace of your operation can run in conflict with its accuracy. How can you make sure that your workers are as fast AND accurate as possible when picking products for your manufacturing line or to ship to your customers? Picking is prone to errors, especially when information isn’t captured accurately and quickly.

Take one of your forklift drivers. He is running at high speed pulling large items (barrels of supplies or pallets to be shipped) from the shelves of your warehouse or storeroom. Getting off the vehicle to scan the barcode and pick the product is time consuming and creates increased chance for injury. It could also take him out of view of his computer, increasing the chance of error.

What if he had a DS3600 barcode scanner from Zebra Technologies? Zebra has been helping companies keep control of their supply chains with industrial scanner and printers for decades. That’s why BAM1 has chosen to partner with Zebra.

From the seat of the forklift, the driver can use the extended range 3600 scanner to capture the barcode information on the shelf and confirm the item and quantity to be picked. The 3600 is ultra-rugged; built to handle 6-foot drops, extreme temperatures and even being submerged in water. Once the data is captured, the driver removes the product and gets it to its next destination.

If a new label is needed on the product or the shelf, a Zebra Qln printer can be mounted on the forklift. The Qln is built to handle the warehouse environment and keep working. With a process or shipping information label affixed, your have saved even more time in your supply chain process.

Whether you are running a manufacturing plant or a warehouse, BAM1 can work with you to implement the right scanning and printing solution to keep your business moving, accurately. We have helped companies select the right data capture solution, implemented flawlessly and provided ongoing support. Call us today for more information at 517-263-7272.
