        Hi Tom:
        Bar-coding is the simplest way to keep track of items. UID is a
more problematic way to label items but it can store more info. UID is a
form of bar-coding but the bars are small like squares and there are
several rows of them which have to be almost perfect. It requires a
label maker, a verifier and a reader. In the case of bar-coding the
verifier is not necessary. There is another one called RFID. It would be
difficult to attach to a board and much more expensive, but it can keep
a lot more information.
        Regards,	
        Ramon

Subject: [TN] Bar code systems

We have a customer who is going to require lot code traceability on his
assemblies. While my company has done this before through Excel files,
this assembly is substantially more complex and will be built in much
larger quantities than we have had in the past. Looking for suggestions
for automatic data entry. Among my questions:

Are there systems other than bar coding? (thinking outside the bar code
box)

How receptive are distributors to using bar codes?

Is there a standard format that should be used?

What systems are available that would feed this information into an
Excel spreadsheet?

Could the same system be used to identify when these parts are used
(tied into a board S/N spreadsheet)?

This is for a medical device manufacturer so I would prefer a system
that would meet ISO 13485. Thanks for your continuing help.
