We often get asked if purchasing accessories like a barcode scanner is necessary and if it will help speed up people’s testing time.

Ultimately though, the answer depends on the individual’s requirements, their workload, if they feel their testing time needs to be sped up, how often and how many labels they use and if they are often on repeat contracts.

Barcode scanners are one of the easiest ways to record an asset number accurately, but they are only useful if you have a tester with a memory.

We can provide you with barcode scanner labels, pre-printed with any number sequence up to a maximum of ten digits.

However, it may still be easier and more cost effective for you to use pass labels where the asset number can be written on the label by hand.

It is important to weigh up both sides before making the final decision of whether a barcode scanner is the right tool for you.

Ensure you consider cost, time issues for both sides, repeat business and any other factors that may affect your decision.
