An Auto ID system is like a three legged stool... 


Client: Large center city legal firm.  Multiple locations, multiple offices.
Opportunity: Need to track the hundreds of computers and computer hardware and software.  Perform physical inventory to verify fixed assets.  Reports to management, and help track, export to spread sheet files for accounting.  Asset tags must be tamper evident for security.  Bar codes are ok for the asset tags, but bar code location labels would detract from the  professional office decor.
Solution: Whole Solutions Assets! software, Laser Lite Pro portable data terminal with integrated laser scanner and touch button reader, discrete wall mounted touch buttons for location identification, Kroy 2500 portable label printer with tamper evident tape cartridges.

Client: Large Pharmaceutical manufacturer.  Over 1000 outside salesmen in North America, each with a notebook computer and periferals. 
Opportunity:  Need to track maintenance, repairs, updates, location, and other information about over 1000 notebook computers assigned to outside salesmen.  Detailed and summary reports are required by management and Accounting.   Tracking of status of each notebook is essential, including tracking systems which have not received the required updates.  System must be portable, and help make the mass updates performed at periodic regional sales meetings easier and accurate.  In addition to tracking the equipment in the field, the system also needs to track the inventory of equipment in and out of inventory as it is issued to to the users, loaned, returned, or scrapped.  The user interface must be very simple and user friendly so that clerks can focus on their primary responsiblities instead of spending a lot of time learning how to use software.  The system must have a high degree of falut tolerance, so to minimize the chance of user error.
Solution: Whole Solutions modified our Assets!application to include some of the custom features required for this client. Laser Lite ProMX portable data terminals with integrated laser scanners are used to scan bar codes representing computers, peripherals, components, software, status, and maintenance actions.  A Kroy K750 portable printer is used to create bar codes to label items not already bar coded by the manufacturer.  System generated, user customizable bar coded "menus" are scanned to record the equipment that is being modified and the work performed. A wireless IR interface between the Laser Lite ProMX and small portable O'Neil printers allow users to print bar codes on demand as they're working on the equipment. Reporting capabilities include searches on multiple criteria and printing user customizable reports. 

Client: Cellular phone network operator. Responsible for equipment maintenance at several microwave/radio towers and inventory at several retail stores.
Opportunity: Need to track maintenance, repairs, and installed parts at the microwave radio towers, and inventory control at the retail stores.  Inventory and sales records are needed for management.  Reminders for upcoming regular maintenance and maintenance records are necessary to meet Communications regulations.
Solution: Whole Solutions created a custom application for tracking the repair and  maintenance of the Cellular equipment and the components used for that  repair and maintenance. Laser Lite Pro portable data terminals with integrated laser scanners are used to scan both manufacturer's bar codes and bar codes created on a Kroy K2500 portable bar code  printer.  Periodic physical inventories are performed at each store using the Laser Lite scanners and the manufacturer's bar codes.

Client: A large, nationally known, industry leader of home and professional power tools, and  manufacturer of circular saw blades.
Opportunity: Need to track Work In Process- racks of circular saw blades as the are ground, shaped, chemically treated, polished and sharpened.  Because of the physical and chemical treatments, labels applied to the racks of circular saw blade blanks are destroyed at teach work station. 
Solution: Laser Lite Pro portable data terminals with integrated laser scanners, with a wirelss IR interface to O'Neil portable bar code printers are located strategically throughout the facility. Each process station is bar coded. As the circular saw blade blanks come into the facility they are loaded on to a rack and the rack is bar coded.  As the rack arrives at the work station  both the work station and rack bar codes are scanned.  A new bar coded label is automatically created for the rack; it will be applied to the rack when the process is completed.    Liner free labels are used to increase efficiency and safety within the facility.

Client: A small manufacturer/wholesale distributor of "country craft" items.
Opportunity: Need to track finished goods from stock location to shipping, need to make the picking process more accurate, need to integrate with existing business management system.
Solution: Metrologic Scan Pal PDTs with integrated CCD scanners are used to scan items as they are picked for packing and shipping.  Records are uploaded into the existing business management system and orders actually picked are checked against items on the Sales Order and pick list.  Existing UPC codes and shelf labels re used.  Whole Solutions USA, Nc also helped this client set up their UPC code system.

Client: A small, special needs association offering insurance to its members
Opportunity: Need durable, secure ID cards that would be recognized at all providers of the service and contain all necessary identification and contact information.
Solution: Whole Solutions USA, Inc. and the client designed the ID cards with security features; serialized cards are printed with enrollee information as new members join the program.

Client: A manufacturer of wooden kitchen cabinet doors.
