incorporating all the different elements discussed in Professional Services section.
„„Barcode„Scanners„&„Verifiers
Barcode Scanners, in their various forms, have become commonplace in today’s society, being used everywhere
from shops to libraries to factories etc. Coupled with this, over the last few years, there has been a proliferation
of 2D barcodes such as Data Matrix across all sectors.
Hand-Held scanners are best used in applications where the user is required to scan items of varying shapes and
sizes, or maybe at a distance from the operator, such as a pallet stored on the top of a warehouse rack. Hand-Held
scanners are the most versatile of all scanners available, ranging from the simple, inexpensive pen, or wand scan-
ner, to the more sophisticated, high performance triggered “gun” style units. Wireless options are also available.
Fixed Mount Scanners are typically used in applications where accurate, unattended automated data entry is a
requirement, such as tracking items throughout a manufacturing line, or machine sortation of packages along
a conveyor belt.
Presentations Scanners, sometimes known as “slot” scanners, can be used for any application where the user
brings the barcode to the scanner to be read. Slot scanners are typically square or rectangular, with a large
window for projecting a multi-lane omni-directional scan pattern.
Direct„Part„Mark„(DPM)„Readers
Tracking individual components can be a costly pro-
position when standard product labelling techniques
fail to measure up over time. Direct Part Marking
(DPM) provides a permanent marking solution that
ensures readability throughout the life of your pro-
ducts, even when subjected to harsh environments
during the manufacturing process. VisionID provide a
range of reading solutions for DPM codes, from hand-
held to cordless, to mobile to fixed position. Please
consult us to discuss your exact requirements.
Barcode„Verifiers
A barcode verifier is similar to a barcode scanner (or
barcode reader) in that it will scan a barcode, then
decode and report the encoded data. Different veri-
fiers have the capability of analysing either linear (1D)
or 2D barcodes. A barcode verifier has the additional
capability of analyzing the barcode’s print quality and
encoded data formats per published industry speci-
fications. VisionID provide a range of reading verifi-
cation solutions to suit every application, both linear
(1D) or 2D barcodes.

5. nology Overview
„„Barcode„Label„Printers
With the proliferation of Barcoding Technology, more and more organisations are finding themselves needing to
print barcode labels for their products, shipments, assets, documents etc.
Barcode Label Printers come in a myriad of different capabilities and sizes. They range from smaller low volume
“desktop” models to high-end industrial units, which facilitate continuous high volume printing. In recent years
Mobile Label/Receipt printers have become popular, allowing users to print labels on demand at the point of
application.
Predominately the main indicators of the type of printer needed, are size and type of label and volume of print
required.
Matching the right printer model to the unique application is a key ingredient for system success. VisionID can
help you make the right selection to meet your specific needs. We consider the environment the printer will be
exposed to as well as the resolution, speed, and communication options needed.
In conjunction with the different printer options, we also provide software solutions to allow you design and print
your labels with ease, either in a remote format, or integrated to an in-house host application.
„„Consumables„–„Labels„and„Ribbons
VisionID are able to offer a wide range of branded labels and ribbons. We are able to supply genuine media for a
range of printers including Zebra and Intermec.
All our media is available in a wide selection of sizes, materials, grades and colours, and can be manufactured
subject to a client’s exact requirements.
To enable you to test and source the correct media for the right application, we are able to run a sample program
offering a wide range of sample materials, produced in specially shortened rolls in both labels and ribbons.
„„Radio„Frequency„Identification„(RFID)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has the potential to be a major component of everyday life. The
fact that RFID tags and hence what they are attached to can be identified without human intervention opens up
a myriad of possibilities.
RFID uses a transponder (commonly called an RF tag) that is electronically programmed with unique information.
This data can then be read from a distance over radio waves. These tags can also be read-write, meaning data
can read from and written to the tag, e.g. production information can be updated on a tag as it progresses down
the assembly line. RFID systems consist of a number of components including tags, handheld or stationary read-
ers, data input units and system software. The tags are the backbone of the technology and come in all shapes,
sizes and read ranges including thin and flexible “smart labels” which can be laminated between paper or plastic.
RFID has the capability to read many tags at once, in excess of 100’s, thus saving time. These advantages, coupled
with the increased range of an RFID system (meters instead of centimeters) mean that RFID can revolutionize the
marketplace for retail, manufacturing and logistics sectors to name but a few.
VisionID has devoted resources to the proliferation of this technology. We have the knowledge and capabilities to
assist our clients automate their processes using RFID. For further information on RFID and it’s benefits, please
go to www.rfid.ie
„„ID/Plastic„Card„Printing„Solutions
Plastic Card Printing is a rapidly increasing market. Zebra Plastic Card Printers can be used for a
variety of different applications, from low cost personalisation plastic cards to high resolution cards
which can be used for a variety of different cards i.e. ID cards, loyalty cards, security and visitor
badges, membership cards and business cards. Both monochrome and full colour print versions are
available. Magnetic Strips and Smart cards can be encoded and barcodes, graphics and text fields
can be printed with ease.
VisionID provide a complete solution for the generation of
plastic cards, including the provision of Card Design and
Printing Software, Consumables, Accessories such as clips
and card holders, and full Installation and Training. Where
large quantities of cards are required, VisionID can also offer
a pre-printing bureau service. Using the latest Lithographic,
Screen and Digital printing methods, we can provide exceptional
quality cards with a fast turn around.
