more about dna barcoding?
dnabarcoding advanced details+barcoding in plants

Best answer:

DNA barcoding is the search for a region of DNA that can be sequenced that will give a unique “signature” for plant species. A very good region in the mitochondrial genome of animals has been found (called CO1 for short) but rates of mitochondrial evolution are far slower in plants than animals, making COI an unlikely candidate. The search still goes on to find such a region, possibly in the chloroplast genome.

There is a lot on the web about this. See links [pdf will download at 3rd site if you want to read the paper].

Does anybody have a sample RFP for inventorying and barcoding an organizations equipment assets?

Does anybody have a sample RFP for inventorying and barcoding an organizations equipment assets?

Best answer:

RFP’s tend to be proprietary information and are usually confidential unless they are the winning bid, so it’s unlikely that anyone is going to volunteer to share them. It’s also common for there to be a nondisclosure clause in the RFP… so even if someone wanted to share, they may not be able to. Your best shot is going to be searching online for “RFP Templates” or checking with the company/agency you wish to submit a bid to, to see if they have samples of some of the successful ones for you to view. Confidentiality rules are very tricky at this level so it’s best to look at what others have already chosen to make public.

What is the best way to track an order thru 20 departments in a warehouse via barcoding system? other ideas?

What is the best way to track an order thru 20 departments in a warehouse via barcoding system? other ideas?
We are a manufacturing facility with 20 stages of production from project start to finish.

We are looking for a bar coding solution that not only specifies the details of each order (how many units, printing options, packaging options, shipping address, due dates, etc..) – but also allows the tracking of the project through production stages within our warehouse.

As this job goes through the various stages of production, we would like it to be logged via barcode.

ie: when an order arrives at pre-press, it is logged when this job is received.

From pre-press, the project then goes to printing and is logged, etc.

Every time the project goes through another level of production – that data should be automatically uploaded to our server.

The goal is to keep close track of each job for strict internal structure, and also to keep the customer well informed of the progress as he/she inquires.

Ideally, this system should be integrated with programs like Goldmine, ACT, etc.

try a statistical process do a google search on that term should help you

is it advisable to use barcoding although there are serial numbers being used in documents?

is it advisable to use barcoding although there are serial numbers being used in documents?
we are in2 memorial business and we are going to use bar coding for our documents. what is the best way to start bar coding when there is already serial numbers being used? how should bar coding works in processing and retrieval of documents?

Best answer:

I’m assuming that you are capturing hard-copy documentation for memorialization by scanning the documents. I believe your desire to use barcodes is to create a unique document control number (DCN) for each document.
It sounds like the documents have some sort of barcode control number applied to them before they get to you.
Unless you have a way to be absoultely certain that the existing barcode numbers are globally unique, you should not capture them as your primary DCN. You may wish to record the existing barcode — that’s fine, but you will likely need to assign your own barcode, using a schema that is distinct (you can tell it’s your number) and unique (no duplicates!).

A typical way to differentiate your number from another barcode number on the document is either a unique format, a unique prefix or suffix, or both. An alternative is simply to use a GUID — the class library for generating GUID’s is pretty common to most modern development frameworks — Microsoft’s .NET framework certainly has it.

As each document is captured, and the barcodes are acquired, you differentiate your DCN from other fields based on format or prefix/suffix. This might also be done positionally, but this can be a problematic approach. An even simpler approach is simply to attach a DCN cover sheet to each document. This “wastes” a sheet of paper on each document, but depending on your volumes and margins probably isn’t a huge problem. The risk here is that a torn-off cover sheet results in an ambiguous hard-copy. If you shred after scan, this isn’t an issue – it’s more of a problem if you are also physically archiving.

Once a unique DCN is assigned, and the document has been scanned to an image file, the image file and associated DCN index key are stored in your document management system. Depending on your requirements, the document image might also be run through optical character recognition software in an attempt to also store the content as searchable text. The content would also be parsed and indexed by a full-text search index.
Commonly, key operators will manually enter additional data fields characterizing/classifying the document being captured. Some additional information — such as the time and date the document was scanned — can be acquired automatically.
Documentum, Filenet, and Adobe are three keywords you might want to research in association with “document management” for further information.

Good luck!

Can you purchase a barcode reader or scanner that can be programmed to read any barcoding?

Can you purchase a barcode reader or scanner that can be programmed to read any barcoding?
We are getting product that has existing bar-codes. Without buying an entire system, can we purchase hand helds that can be programmed to read that existing barcode?

Best answer:

Sure…

But remember the hardware has to integrate with the software.

Remember the CueCat? It reads a number of different symbologies, but it has to talk to software….
