Provides detailed information for setting up a bar-code tracking system. The report includes descriptions of bar-coding equipment, data collection and storage software, methods for setting up and running a bar-code system, sources of equipment, tips for using a bar-code system, and other useful information. The report's companion publication, Bar-Code Tracking System Overview (0271-2333-MTDC), has general information about how a bar-code system works.
Describes the basics of bar-code systems that can be used to maintain inventories or track pesticides, equipment, tree-marking paint, or other materials. Bar codes use a series of vertical black lines and spaces to record data. The standard used to convert data to a bar code is called a symbology. More than 250 symbologies are in use. Forest Service users should consider using symbology code 128, the standard used in the shipping industry. It can encode all 128 ASCII characters (lower-case and capital letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other symbols) and can be used to create high-, medium-, and low-density bar codes. The label lines are closely spaced in high-density bar codes, allowing more data to be stored, but the label might not be read as reliably. Setup and the initial inventory entry are usually the most time-consuming steps in establishing a bar-code system. A bar code might represent the identification of a container of pesticide. Software, usually some form of database, stores additional information about the container of pesticide, such as when it was purchased, how much the container holds, how much has been used, and when the container was disposed of. The bar code would be placed on the pesticide container when it was received. Each time some of the pesticide was used, a scanner would record the bar code and the user would enter appropriate information about the use. Such a system would allow careful tracking of the use of pesticides and the software would allow the user to prepare periodic reports. This Tech Tip considers three sample uses of bar-code systems by Forest Service employees: tracking tools, inventorying chemicals and material safety data sheets, and reporting on pesticides. An accompanying report, Assembling a Bar-Code Tracking System (0271-2834-MTDC), has more detailed information that can be used to design a bar-code system.
The evolution and execution of automotive manufacturing are explored in this fundamental manual. It is an excellent reference for entry level manufacturing engineers and also serves as a training guide for nonmanufacturing professionals. The book covers the major areas of vehicle assembly manufacturing and addresses common approaches and procedures of the development process. Having held positions as both a University Professor and as a Lead Engineering Specialist in industry, the author draws on his experience in both theory and application to fill the gap between academic research and industrial practices. This concisely written, comprehensive review discusses the sophisticated principles and concepts of automotive manufacturing from development to applications and includes: 250 illustrations and 90 tables. End-of-chapter review questions. Research topics for in-depth case studies, literature reviews, and/or course projects. Analytical problems for additional practice. Directly extracted and summarized from automotive manufacturing practices, this book serves as an essential manual. The subject is complemented by the author’s first book, Automotive Vehicle Assembly Processes and Operations Management, which provides even greater depth to the complex endeavor of modern automotive manufacturing.
The assembly of electronic circuit boards has emerged as one of the most significant growth areas for robotics and automated assembly. This comprehensive volume, which is an edited collection of material mostly published in "Assembly Engineering" and "Electronic Packaging and Production", will provide an essential reference for engineers working in this field, including material on Multi Layer Boards, Chip-on-board and numerous case studies. Frank J. Riley is senior vice-president of the Bodine Corporation and a world authority on assembly automation.
The importance of the Internet and information and communication technologies to the global economy has never been greater. This volume aims to facilitate knowledge sharing relevant to everyone, irrespective of background, thematic or goegraphic focus.
This book shows how to build a "INFelecPHY GPS Unit" (IEP-GPS) tracking system for fleet management that is based on 3G and GPRS modules. This model should provide reliability since it deals with several protocols: 1) HTTP and HTTPS to navigate, download and upload in real time the information to a web server, 2) FTTP and FTTPS to handle in a non-real time the files to the web application, and 3) SMTP and POP3 to send and receive email directly from the unit in case of any alert. Similar to a mobile device, but without screen for display, it is multifunctional because it links to a GPRS module, a camera, a speaker, headphone, a keypad and screen.
Although enterprise mobility is in high demand across domains, an absence of experts who have worked on enterprise mobility has resulted in a lack of books on the subject. A Comprehensive Guide to Enterprise Mobility fills this void. It supplies authoritative guidance on all aspects of enterprise mobility-from technical aspects and applications to
2013 International Conference on Complex Science Management and Education Science, will be held in Kunming, China on 23rd-24th Nov. 2013. This conference is sponsored by Advanced Science Research Center, some universities and some Enterprises. 2013 International Conference on Complex Science Management and Education Science (CSMES2013) will provide an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Complex Science Management and Education Science . The conference looks for significant contributions to all major fields of the modern Complex Science Management and Education Science in theoretical and practical aspects. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform to the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share cutting-edge development in the field. 2013 International Conference on Complex Science Management and Education Science (CSMES2013) will be published by DEStech Publications. DEStech will have the CDROM indexed in ISI (Institute of Scientific Information) and Google Book Search. DEStech will submit the CDROM to ISTP and EI for worldwide online citation of qualified papers. We would like to extend our appreciation to all participants in the conference for their great contribution to the success of csmes2013. We would like to thank the keynote and individual speakers and all participating authors for their hard work and time. We also sincerely appreciate technical program committee and all reviewers, whose contributions make this conference possible. Finally, I would like to thank the great support from DEStech Publications, Inc. Prof. Haiyan
