Process control laboratory - bar code system

Abstract

This paper presents the basic concepts of a bar code system using a PC-based architecture. This system was developed and implemented in the Industrial Engineering Process Control Laboratory. The main objective of this system is to familiarize the students with the basic concepts of this technology. The system consists of a 486 computer with a Starnode PC Interface Board. The terminals are a scanstar 221 that has a light pen and a laser gun connected. The computer also has attached a Zebra 60 printer and an interface box that is connected to a fixed scanner, the scanstar 40. All this equipment is from Comp Identics.
