Barcode Solutions

Barcode systems that hold up on the shop floor.

Barcode design, scanners, printers, verification and software integration for manufacturing plants and warehouses — engineered end to end by Orion Techno Solutions.

Barcode System Components

Every part of the barcode chain, engineered together.

A barcode system fails at its weakest link — a poor label, an unreadable print or software that never receives the scan. Orion builds the complete chain, not a box of devices.

01

Symbology & Code Design

Selection of 1D and 2D codes — Code 128, EAN, Data Matrix, QR — with data content, quiet zones and check digits designed for your scanning environment.

Code 128Data MatrixQRGS1
02

Scanners & Readers

Handheld, fixed-mount and industrial scanners configured for print quality, read distance, cabling, interfaces and the realities of plant-floor handling.

03

Label & QR Printing

Thermal and industrial label printers with formats driven by live production data — every label printed with the correct, validated content at the right moment.

04

Verification & Grade

Barcode verification against print-quality standards so codes stay readable across every scanner, customer and regulated supply chain.

05

Barcode Traceability Software

Scan-driven workflows for WIP tracking, material movement, dispatch, receiving, asset audit and stock verification — built around the actual process.

ERP / WMS Integration

Middleware that validates scan events and delivers them into ERP, MES, WMS and databases with buffering, retries and audit trails.

Where Barcode Is Used

From goods receipt to dispatch.

Barcode remains the most cost-effective identification method wherever items can be labelled and read deliberately. Orion deploys it across receiving, put-away, production, inspection, packing and dispatch — and connects each scan to the system that needs it.

✓
Production & WIP tracking
Scan at each station to record progress, genealogy and time stamps.
✓
Warehouse & inventory
Receiving, location control, picking, dispatch and cycle counts on handhelds.
✓
Asset & tool tracking
Register, verify and audit equipment across plants and distributed sites.
✓
Quality & inspection records
Scan-linked results, non-conformance and retention against each unit.
✓
Label-driven marking lines
Production data driving label content with validation before print.

Implementation

How a barcode project runs.

Small scope or plant-wide rollout, the execution steps stay disciplined — nothing reaches production untested.

Process Study

Items, scan points, users, failure modes and target systems.

Code & Label Design

Symbology, content, label size, material and print quality.

Hardware Selection

Printers and scanners matched to environment and duty cycle.

Software & Integration

Scan workflows, middleware and ERP / WMS interfaces.

Pilot & FAT

Representative items and users before full rollout.

Site Rollout

Printing stations, scanner deployment and operator training.

SAT & Handover

Live validation, documentation and go-live support.

Support

AMC, diagnostics and label or workflow changes.

Barcode FAQ

Common questions about barcode projects.

What barcode system do we need for our plant?

It depends on what is identified, where it is scanned and the environment. Orion assesses symbology, label material, printer type and scanner class before recommending anything.

Do you provide barcode printers and scanners?

Yes — industrial label printers, handheld and fixed scanners and consumables, supplied and configured by Orion or integrated with hardware you already own.

Can you integrate barcode data with our ERP?

Yes. Scan events are validated by middleware and delivered into ERP, MES, WMS or custom software through APIs, database interfaces or file exchange.

What is barcode verification and do we need it?

Verification grades print quality against a standard so codes stay readable by every scanner — important for automotive, aerospace and defence supply chains.

Can you work with our existing labels and codes?

Usually. Orion reviews your current symbology and print quality, then standardises or transitions it without breaking downstream scanning.

Do you support barcode systems after go-live?

Yes — AMC covering printer and scanner issues, label format changes, middleware fixes and application enhancements.

Barcode project in mind?

Tell us what you need to label, where it gets scanned, and which system receives the data.

Orion will structure the barcode system — symbology, hardware, printing, workflows and integration — around your actual process and existing infrastructure.
