Accu-Sort(R) ROI Calculator Finds Payback Period for Auto-ID Systems.PHILADELPHIA -- Accu-Sort Systems Inc. introduced today an on-line ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). Calculator to help users of automated identification equipment determine the return on investment for package label and sortation Identifying objects that are stamped with a bar code and routing them to the appropriate destination. Sortation is typically a high-speed process used in the transportation industry by companies such as Federal Express, UPS and others. See sort and bar code. systems. Users can access the ROI Calculator at http://accusort.com/roi/ to explore ROI challenges in laser and camera bar code scanning as well as automated labeling and sortation systems. Three ROI Challenges are presented: * Automated Labeling, Verification, and Package Distribution * Linear and Omnidirectional In all directions. For example, an omnidirectional antenna can transmit or receive signals in all directions. Contrast with directional. See RF. Laser Scanner Tunnels * High-Speed Camera Systems Each challenge provides guidance on how auto-ID in the material handling industry improves operational efficiency and increases accuracy. For each challenge, users enter their system variables, and the calculator computes the number of years to recoup recoup To sell an asset at a price sufficient to recover the original outlay or to offset a previous loss. the investment. The Automated Labeling Challenge calculates ROI for a fully configurable drag-and-drop setup that provides WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Pronounced "wiz-ee-wig." It refers to displaying text and graphics on screen the same as they will print on paper or display on a Web page. (What You See Is What You Get (jargon) What You See Is What You Get - (WYSIWYG) /wiz'ee-wig/ Describes a user interface for a document preparation system under which changes are represented by displaying a more-or-less accurate image of the way the document will finally appear, e.g. when printed. ) design of up to 50 label formats and a wide range of label sizes. It accommodates multiside, multilabel applications and high throughput. The challenge examines two scenarios: * Reducing labor while maintaining the same throughput * Increasing throughput while keeping labor the same The Laser Scanner Challenge shows how laser-scanning tunnels using linear and omnidirectional scanners can improve performance and savings. It examines three scenarios: * Increasing read rate over old technology * Reducing maintenance and repair costs * Speeding replacement and reducing downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. The Camera Challenge shows how camera-based scanning tunnels can simplify installation while providing unmatched read rates and reliability. Three Challenges are examined: * Increasing read rate over old technology * Reducing label and labeling costs * Reducing maintenance and repair costs "Whether you're using a traditional laser bar code system, a camera system or the latest in RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. , the ROI Calculator provides a fast, accurate analysis of the pay back period for your system," said Adnan Ahmed Adnan Ahmed (Urdu: عدنان أحمد) (born June 7, 1984 in Burnley, England) is a British-born Pakistani footballer who is currently playing for Tranmere Rovers in Coca-Cola League One. , Accu-Sort vice president of marketing. "Many variables are involved in building a successful auto-ID system, and every facility has different requirements. The ROI Challenge allows users to enter their own criteria, change them on the fly, and build a financial case for their own operation."
