- I'm trying to set up a bar-coding system for use in a small warehouse
- along with an computer inventory system (which I've designed). I need
- some help in finding reputable manufacturers/distributors of the
- reading/scanning equipment. I'm particularly looking for scanners
- that will easily interface with PC's with little interface change (as
- in one that simulates keyboard input).
-
- I'd also be interested in wireless units (RF or IR), or one's which
- can download/upload information (and do some minor manipulations on
- that data, such as comparing a scanned code with a downloaded one, and
- count how many times an item is scanned).
-
- I don't know what's available, so any pointers to good sources (books,
- magazines, newsgroups, etc) would REALLY be appreciated.
-
- Thanks for your help (and time).
- Pete.
