Look at the finder pattern, the clocking pattern, and the quiet zone.

If anything is wrong, fix it with a sharpie or an eraser.

Scanner Options

- Program scanner functionality by scanning barcodes

- Turn off functionality you are not using

- Make sure scanner can read these barcodes for DoD:

- High density Charge Coupled Device (CCD) preferable

- Keyboard wedge vs. batch mode vs. wireless options

- Programmable to check business rules

THE KEY

Good Decisions are based on getting good information to the right people in time

– Good information is founded on good analysis of high quality data

– Getting information to the right people in time requires data to be captured, converted to knowledge and delivered “in time”

Data → Information → Decisions

The Underlying Thought

17

1)Data Capture

3) Data Analysis

2) Data Storage - media - safeguarding - retrieval

Data is Not Cheap

2) Data Storage - media - safeguarding - retrieval

This is not the problem any longer

Machine readable marks Data accuracy leads to • Less data scrubbing • More fidelity in analysis

Specialized databases often cannot “talk” to one another

One way to solve this problem is to pull all of the databases into one over-arching database

Turns out there are multiple efforts to create unique identifiers - Finances - Items - Acquisition Programs - Locations - Systems - People - Organizations

Many different types of Unique Identification exist

The Relationship between Unique Identifiers

qualified to work

Bending IUID To Your System

Without a scanner a data matrix is more or less unreadable.

When you use a scanner, the

scanner “looks at” the symbol

and then figures out what it is

going to “tell” you.

It could tell you: [)>[RS]06[GS]17VC1234[GS]1PAPN[GS]S0001[RS][EOT]

(which is what is encoded in this mark)

Or it could tell you: DC1234APN0001

(which is the UII encoded in this mark)

Or it could tell you: NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER [enter]

1999 Fourth Street [enter] Norco, CA 92860 [tab] [tab] [tab] 6/28/2012

Keeping Track of 4860 Items in a Warehouse

Without Scanning… • Full inventory never completed • Sample data estimates 32.4 hours to

complete inventory with 2% error rate

With IUID Scanning… • Full inventory completed in 6 man hours by first-time scanners • Experience with scanning decreases

inventory time to less than 1 man hour • Scanning produced 100% accuracy
