We found a nice inventory site that you might be interested in. The site is called Inventory-Software-Solutions.com. It has a nice collection of articles on bar coding and thin client systems. Thin client systems are nice for inventory because they will run on just about any type of device. They run especially well on Windows CE devices. Companies like Motorola develop handheld scanners that carry the Windows CE operating system and when they’re configured with a data wedge they can be used to scan directly into a thin browser based inventory system.

If you’re looking for thin client inventory systems you might want to check out ShopFloorReporting.com. The site offers MES solutions (Manufacturing Execution Systems). The ShopFloorReporting.com solutions are nice because they can be tailored to your specific needs. They offer a framework that allows users/customers to tailor the systems themselves or the programmers at SFR will do the work for you.

Another strong advantage to a thin client solution is that you can alter the system quickly which is especially nice if you have multiple locations to contend with. You can make a change to the software and implement it across your enterprise in minutes without running out to all the PCs to reinstall software and drivers.

We see only advantages to thin client browser based systems and what company doesn’t like saving a dollar or two in this economy? Let us know what you think about these sites and the experience of SFR, we highly recommend them and would suggest taking a look.
