Peter,

We've been discussing with our IT section of using digital pen and
paper, so that all inspection forms, log books, et al, are digitally
reproduced back in the office almost immediately.

In providing these, they also provide a bar code reader in the pen and
it is our intention to use the bar codes on the controller parts to
update the build list of each site as it is maintained. (There is also a
suspected issue of parts being stolen or swapped for faulty parts by
others unknown, thus our maintenance contractor has already started
recording serial numbers manually for their own records).

The Red Corner have already helpfully provided me with their bar code
design, so that we can somehow work out a way of automatically updating
the database.

Whilst we're discussing equipment at sites and energy consumption etc.,
does anyone use any kind of stock control system, maybe using bar codes,
for updating their inventory? If so, do you use such a system for
general parts.. assuming you carry out any first line maintenance.

I would like to implement a bar code stock and inventory system for
signals, pay & display maintenance and traffic counters... yes, we do
those also!

Can you recommend any particular system?

Regards
