Barcode Solution - Data Capture Automation
Million Tech provided an automatic solution to capture data for measurement and integrated to the client’s existing back-end system. The emulator could perform keyboard emulation automatically to integrate with customer’s system, so that the affection of the daily operation is minimized as existing system is still worked, and no need to train all staff again for this new software integration.
For individual carton (by air transportation, which different in size), carton ID is associated with cubing data that is auto fit to the system. For same pilot size (by sea shipment), data can be input into device without changing the existing software.

Manpower is saved as part of workflow is replaced by machines. The operation flow became smooth and systematic, and collected data are easy for warehouse to keep record as report and for further analysis.
