Barcode Inventory Tracking

Barcode Inventory Tracking Service (BITS) is a low-cost, easy-to-use, Cloud-based system that uses license-plate tracking methods combined with barcode scanning and mobile computing technology to perform inventory tracking.

BITS can track the receipt, put-away, movement, withdrawal, and shipment of containers of material and individually serialized items. BITS can also be used to track the flow of serialized items through a sequence of manufacturing, repair, or test operations.

BITS is based on the use of GS1 (Global Standards One) "License-Plate Tracking" methods. BITS tracks the location of containers of material as well as serialized items, in real-time. BITS can also track these items when nested within multiple layers of nested container, such as in cartons, on pallets.BITS integrates all the capabilities of the BellHawk Online SMTS Simple Materials Tracking System.

The major benefit of BITS is that inventory can be tracked in real-time at multiple geographically separated, facilities including in warehouses, stock rooms, construction sites, manufacturing plants, and field maintenance sites as well as in vehicles (warehouse on wheels).

BITS is designed for use in stock rooms and warehouses, as well as in manufacturing, engineering, construction, test, repair, and maintenance organizations.

BITS can track materials by lot and serial numbers, as well as by expiration date and is FDA compliant making it suitable for use in medical and biotechnology applications.

BITS has special capabilities for tracking Customer owned materials as well as for enabling users to define their own parameters, such as size and color, to be tracked on specified items.

A feature of BITS is the ability to track materials having different lengths and widths using a common part number. This enables the tracking of offcut lengths, as well as tracking rolls, reels, and sheets of material with different dimensions.

BITS can also be used for Asset tracking and integrates all the capabilities of BATS, the BellHawk Online Barcode Asset Tracking System.

BITS Data collection can be performed with wireless mobile computers or PDAs, equipped with integral barcode scanners, as well as with fixed station PCs equipped with barcode scanners or Android tablets equipped with cordless Bluetooth scanners.

BITS can give users a real-time view of the status of inventory and materials anywhere there is an internet connection on PCs, tablets, and smart phones. It can also provide a variety of inventory reports in the form of printed reports and Excel exports.

BITS supports periodic "cycle counting" for validation and adjustment of inventory.

BITS can be expanded to become a fully functional industrial Warehouse Management System through the addition of the BellHawk Online WMS option.
