Wireless Bar Code Data
Collection Installed for Hi-Lex, U.K.
Toronto,
Ontario, February, ’04 – Disus has completed a
wireless bar code data collection and label printing system
for Hi-Lex Cable Systems Ltd. of Port Talbot, United Kingdom.
The Disus-engineered system replaces the Baan IVc4 screens
for Production Orders Complete, Inventory Transfer and Picks
with a simple user interface that’s common to both held-held
and shop floor terminals. The system automatically generates
and prints bar code labels as required.
The Hi-Lex implementation employs the Disus-developed Transaction
Adapter and Transactional Objects to communicate with Baan
Report Production Orders Complete, Finished Goods Booking,
Inventory Transfer and KANBAN Replenishment [a business process
pioneered in the Japanese automotive industry] modules.
The benefits of the Disus bar code implementation are noteworthy:
- A simple user interface eliminates multiple Baan screens
and data entry fields
- A common interface for both hand-held and stationary terminals
- User login is enabled by employee ID badge swipe
- Real time data collection
- Bar code swipe or manual data entry
- Only one Baan seat license required
- No user limitations on the Disus’ components
- Robust, well-proven implementation
- No proprietary hardware requirements
- Works for all Baan IVc4 and Baan V implementations
Hi-Lex Cable Systems Co. Ltd. is a business unit of Nippon
Cable Systems Inc. Hi-Lex specializes in designing and manufacturing

code implementation for a Hi-Lex sister company, U.S.-based
Hi-Lex Controls Inc. of Litchfield, Michigan.
