Bar coding & EDI
“TEXAS instruments has linked EDI & BAR
CODING in the order placement & management of
office supplies.
The company benefited by way of reduction in the
inventory-holding cost to the extent of USD 2 million,
freed up 40000sq ft of warehouse space & reduction in
cycle time by more than one third.
Radio frequency identification
It can be incorporated into PRODUCT, ANIMAL, or
PERSON for the purpose of identification using
RADIO WAVES.
RFID contain at least TWO parts
One part consisting of an integrated circuit for sorting &
processing information, modulating & demodulating RF
signals.
Second one is an ANTENNA for receiving &
transmitting signals.
Radio in practice
“Future group, owner of PANTALOON, BIG
BAZZAR has entered into a tie-up with CISCO system
to implement RFID tech in all RETAIL formats in
India.
Memory buttons
Used to supplant common means such as bar coding to
identify the goods.
It contains an encapsulated microprocessor.
The information can be stored on a BUTTON that
reader can physically touch to extract information.
It can be read with an electronic device without
touching the package.
Memory buttons are keyed with information required
by various agencies, such as customs ,inspection,
shipping etc.
Radio frequency tags (RFT)
RFTs are used as an alternative to bar codes for
communicating inventory data via radio waves.
RFTs are pieces of silicon chip to store data in the
microcircuit.
They are programmable & have an erasable memory.
It consists of two key components namely, tags that act
as a data carrier & reader or antenna which transfers
information to n from the tag.
Voice interactive system
It was developed for space travel application in 1980s.
Now extended to various other fields like LEGAL,
MEDICAL,MANUFACTURING, WAREHOUSING
& so on.
In WAREHOUSING..it allows the worker to
communicate the data to central computer without
using keyboard.
It keeps the warehouse worker’s hands free to pick up,
pack & inspect goods.
System consists of a voice synthesizer & a headset.
The operator creates a voice template for each word he
utters during the dialogue with computer.
The system stores this template in the memory for use
in future.
Usage of this technology in warehouses will allow
low-skilled workers to interact with computers, which
will increase speed, capability & accuracy.
Communication Technology
1. Communication…..either ORAL or WRITTEN, has
a very crucial role in business.
2. ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
 EDI used for transfer of business documents from one
computer to another.
 Business documents such as invoices, challans,
cheques & drawings are sent through mail, fax or
courier.
 EDI is a drive toward paperless document transfer or
transaction.
The standard includes
Matching of data transmission speed
Data coding & decoding system
Matching of hardware of the computers
EDI benefits

E-Tracking
Commonly used by couriers for air & sea cargo.
Fleet owners often experience a problem when vehicle
are not returned to the depot on the stipulated time.
They are worried about route delay, accident, highway
robbery, & so on.
Tracking vehicle is a factor for providing effective
transportation service.
E-tracking ensures
two things
It leads to higher
productivity of the
vehicle
& the timely
delivery of the
cargo.
VSAT (very small aperture terminal
communication)  It is a two-way satellite ground
station with a small dish
antenna.
 It represents a cost-effective
solution for those who want an
independent communication
network to connect a large
number of geographically
dispersed sites.
 It offers satellite based services
capable of supporting
