Automatic barcode reading with SAP connection

Automatic barcode reading with SAP connection
Seamless logistics processes – VITRONIC and SMILOG offer a complete system for barcode reading and data integration in SAP applications.

VICAMsnap! camera systems from VITRONIC are used for automatic data capture, for example, in material flow management and warehousing, in goods receipt processes, by post and parcel services and in the retail trade. Together with logistics expert SMILOG, VITRONIC now offers a complete solution for automatic barcode reading with a seamless connection to SAP ERP systems.

VICAMsnap! is a camera-based identification system that is specially designed to capture objects in manual processes. Items such as packages and boxes are manually passed through the reading field of a matrix camera at a manual workstation. The data (barcodes, 2D codes) is captured automatically without manual trig-gering and with the highest degree of reliability – even if the codes are colored, damaged or poorly printed on a colored background.

smiConnect from SMILOG offers a pre-configured interface with the SAP system. The data captured by VICAMsnap! is automatically stored in SAP tables. From these tables, companies can then start further processes independently or develop customer-specific processes. smiConnect can be flexibly installed on an existing target system. Thanks to seamless integration between the camera system and the SAP back-end system, users can, for example, post goods receipts automatically and optimize the inbound inspection. The collaboration between VITRONIC and SMILOG gives companies a complete system with maximized quality of data capture, opti-mized data integration and speed of implementation.

The solution developed jointly by the two companies will be unveiled at the SMILOG stand (Hall 5, stand no. 504) at the LogiMAT 2014 trade fair in Stuttgart from 25 to 27 February 2014.
