Enhance the accuracy of your stock counts, reduce errors and avoid time consuming manual data entry through using the inbuilt MEX Barcoding function.

HARDWARE REQUIRED

Smoothly Integrate Barcoding with MEX

When it comes to managing maintenance, having accurate and up to date inventory numbers & asset information is absolutely crucial. Instantly pull up Stock IDs & other important information, simply by scanning a barcode. Less time wasted equals less downtime and more time to focus on the things that matter - productivity!

Barcoding with MEX reduces manual data entry that is the main cause of database errors. Information is accurately recorded resulting in optimal reporting & e�ective decision making.

With paperless activities, maintenance personnel spend less time gathering & entering data and focus more time on preventative tasks. This translates into maximised asset uptime.

Barcoding with MEX makes tracking equipment & stock easier than ever. Sta� can use their mobile devices to scan barcodes on parts & assets right at the work site.

Barcoding RequirementsIn order to make use of the Barcoding capabilities of MEX you will need an iOS device and the MEX App, Bluetooth Scanner and a Label Printer. To save on costs and time it’s

recommended purchasing the ScanFob Scanner and a Brother P-touch label printer.

Setup the MEX iOS App

Connect aBluetooth Scanner

In order to make use of the Barcoding capability of MEX you will need the MEX iOS App and a Apple device. The MEX App can be downloaded from the App Store where you will need to connect it to the appropriate database. There are a number of areas in MEX that supports Barcoding, including the Asset Details and Catalogue Details. Once you have �lled in the barcodes for your relevant �elds, you can then begin using them to your advantage with a Bluetooth scanner or the camera of your device.

For the most e�ective Barcode Scanning we recommend using a Bluetooth scanner - like the Scanfob Bluetooth Scanners. Simply follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect it to your iOS device. Once the scanner is connected via Bluetooth, you will be able to scan MEX barcodes while the iOS device is in a module that uses barcodes. You can use your device’s camera to scan barcodes however we recommend using a scanner as they are more e�ective & accurate.

Barcodes can be printed using the Stores Item Barcode Report and also from the Asset Barcodes Report. Label printing is inexpensive, so it’s best to �nd a label printer that has an automatic guillotine. This will save you a lot of time going through and manually cutting all the labels. We recommend using a Brother P-touch Label Printer as they are common and more cost e�ective. We also advise using yellow labels in order to distinguish internal barcodes from supplier codes.
