In supply chain management systems, accurate product tracking in the manufacturing environment is an essential ingredient to a successful implementation. A focal area is the transition of finished goods between the production area and the warehouse. With bar code technology being implemented in most industries, there is a need to integrate production information already available from the bar code, with other product information like production counts, and product mass.

Multenet have sold a significant amount of 4 port device servers to system integrators who are integrating data between bar code scanners, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's), Bar Code printers, production scales, and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).



The PocketPAD 4 is an ideal device for this application, combining a low 'per-port' cost, with a number of different configuration options available. The PocketPAD 4 also supports a DIN Rail mounting option.
