EZ-MES | Barcode and Custom Label Support

Barcode and Custom Label Support

EZ-MES supports Barcode entries and is using barcodes on most reports to identify the connected EZ-MES Objects. Furthermore it is possible to design your own custom barcode labels that will show product specific information and custom images.

Data Entries

A Barcode reader can be seen as a keyboard. The Barcode that is being scanned is a sequence of characters. The Barcode reader reads the characters and enters them to the computer as a keystroke on the keyboard. When the string is finished the Barcode reader executes the 'Enter' key.

In EZ-MES you can place your cursor on any input field, and scan the barcode for the entry. The character string that is encoded in the Barcode will now appear into the input field. Regular expressions can be used to make sure that the right barcode ends up at the right data entry field.

Barcodes on reports

Printed Travelers, Part Record Reports, Work Orders, Purchase Orders, etc. all contain a barcode at the top of the page. When you hit the F9 Key you can scan the barcode and the corresponding EZ-MES Object opens in a form.

When a printed Traveler contains Part Records with unique serial numbers, then the barcodes for the attached Part Records are printed on the Traveler as well.

Custom Labels with Barcodes

Within EZ-MES you are able to configure your own designed Barcode Labels. These Barcode Labels can be specific for Part Defintition, or be made special for specific Step Definitions. The Step Definition Barcode Labels can be printed at the moment a Traveler moves through that specific operation.

Barcode Labels can be printed from either the Part Record Form or from the Traveler Form. From the Traveler Form a batch print option for all part on the Traveler is available as well.

Printing Barcodes

To print your own barcode labels you can for example use Zebra Designer to create your own barcode labels. Or you use a word processor and use a special barcode font.

Barcode Support

As most of our other features, the barcode capability is already integrated in the EZ-MES software. Barcodes are displayed on reports, and you can define your own custom barcode labels.

Custom Barcode Labels

You can define your own custom barcode label, have multiple designs and manage the label designs using revision management.

Batch Print for Barcode Labels

For Travelers containing multiple parts, batch print of the barcode labels is available through a single mouse click.

Equipment Barcodes

Equipment barcode labels showing e.g. the next calibration date can be printed. These labels can be attached to equipment which can be used as an input for the equipment that is used for an operation.

Include Part Data

Want to show an expiration date on a label? No problem any collected data that is available through the Part Record can be printed on the barcode label.

Label Print Check

Steps can be configured to check if the barcode label is printed at least once, if the label is not yet printed the traveler can be blocked to move to the next step.

Print Barcodes from Browser

Barcodes can be immediately be printed from your browser. The system can be configured to print from parts or from Travelers.

Product Specific Barcode Labels

Different barcode labels for different products? No problem each Product Definition within EZ-MES can have its own Barcode Label design.

Shipping Labels

Because the labels are completely configurable you can make labels that can be used for shipping labels, printing the shipping with barcodes for each part or lot.

Traveler Barcodes

A traveler can be used to combine multiple parts. You can print traveler barcodes to have simple access to all the parts with a single scan.

Use of your own graphics

Your own images, e.g. your company logo, can be incorporated in the Label design. You are in full control on what has to appear on the label.
