Implementation of Barcode Technology to Logistics Processes of a Company

Abstract

The article focuses on expanding the use of barcodes in selected logistics activities in a company. Our study discusses the application of barcode technology to selected logistics activities in the company in order to address the error rate in these activities and to control ownership of this technology in other logistics activities within the company during the COVID-19. The priority of the testing phase was to point out the elimination of errors in the original versus the newly proposed solution for the company on 10 products. In the test phase, the 10 products with the highest turnover in the company were used to point out the elimination of errors in various logistics activities, especially the time saved compared to the work of human personnel in the company. The company has this technology at its disposal, in the parent company as well as in the subsidiary. It was only a matter of expanding the use and applicability of this technology as well as other possibilities for research hypotheses, which we outlined at the end of the article. In this article, we focus on RFID and barcode technologies, since the company initially considered using RFID technology, however, chose the use of barcodes because it was an already known work technology. The current situation affected with COVID-19 disease requires many advantages and disadvantages of both technologies.

Impact of the Product Master Data Quality on the Logistics Process Performance

“…The size and position of the barcode on the product should be determined based on the symbology and printing technology, while the quality of the barcode can be assessed using an ISO/IECbased verifier [46]. The evolution of barcodes is making great progress, while future development will be based on RFID scanning technology [47], which enables the mass deployment of data carriers such as UHF EPC/RFID and HF EPC/RFID. The impact of RFID technology on the efficiency of logistics processes in retail supply chains has been analysed in [48].…”

Vállalati információs és logisztikai rendszerek hibái, ezek azonosíthatósága és lehetséges megoldásai – átfogó elméleti és gyakorlati összevetés

“…Az adatáramlás területén leggyakrabban a vállalatirányítási rendszerekben (ERP -Enterprise Resource Planning) felmerülő problémák kerültek kiemelésre a felhasznált forrásokban, illetve az egyéb informatikai rendszerek, amelyek a vállalati működést segítik [3], [9], [20], [21]. Ebben az esetben leggyakoribb nehézség az emberi tévesztésből és pontatlanságból adódik [16], [17], [19]. Adatáramlási hibaként említik az adatok különböző módon való gyűjtését a logisztikai folyamatok során, amely az integráltságot -mint fontos jellemzőjét a vállalatirányítási rendszereknekmegbontja.…”
