I’ve previously commented on the medication- and blood-administration aspects of Zebra Technologies’ recent white paper entitled It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode Wristbands, but that important resource covers other critical barcode wristband applications as well. As with medication and blood administration, The Joint Commission treats tracking of treatments and procedures as…
Who doesn’t love free stuff…especially free expensive stuff? In the spirit of giving, L-Tron Direct held a Grand Giveaway promotion. Recipients were given either a free iPad or free store credit.

When managing your fleet of scanning devices becomes overwhelming, it’s time to consider remote device management (RDM). For IT administrators, the ability to manage all bar code scanning devices from a single, remote location can be a life saver. For your business, it’s a productivity and profitability enhancer. Let’s face it; scanner management can be…
My purse is no longer a purse. As the mother of two young boys, my oversized handbag has become a diaper bag, a toy box, a lunchbox, and a garbage bag – as well as the bottomless pit I need to dig through daily to find my keys and cash. When I leave the house,…

A recent survey found that 58% of IT professionals considered interoperability – the ability of various enterprise systems to interact with other systems within the enterprise – to be their greatest challenge. During my 10 years of selling industrial computer products, I have found that there are more legacy applications being run today than one…
Recent legislation and regulatory provisions designed to escalate U.S. implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems have elevated the status of barcoded patient wristbands to that of essential technology. This is just one of the revelations I gleaned from the recent Zebra Technologies white paper, It’s All in the Wrist: Improving Patient Safety with Barcode…
Industry has come to rely so heavily on the omnipresent Ethernet switch that it’s easily taken for granted. Ethernet switches serve as the building blocks of networks and act as network traffic cops, ensuring collision-free data flow, while maximizing network capacity and uptime, and simplifying network expansion to meet dynamic industrial needs. The bywords of…
So we meet again. In Episode II of Printer Wars, I wrote about the options that you have available for interacting with your barcode label printer.
