We tested other companies over the years, but we have always found out that Datalogic suits us best. Bar codes are also used for ordering material. Bar codes are used from the very moment a component arrives from a supplier, as it is registered and then put in stock. At this stage, Datalogic's DS350ACR laser scanners are used to read the Odette labels applied on the in-coming items, as shown in the photo on the front page. All items are then re-labelled with an internal bar code.
Productions starts with an empty but already painted metal box.
The next stage in the production process is deciding which type of refrigerator or freezer the box will become. To do this, Datalogic's DS45A and DS2100 compact laser scanners read the code on the empty box and control which box becomes which refrigerator. Then the system fills the box with the right components and consequently reduces stock. At the same time as the components are used, the systems updates the stock situation. Thanks to bar codes we collect all the information we need about each manufactured product.
