Bar Code Doctor uses QUALIFIER Software in the lab, and on the road

To Certify and Document Compliance with A.N.S.I. Standards.

To Diagnose and Correct Problem Bar Code images

The Qualifier Bar Code Testing platform offers quality control professionals:

Verification Data Management
- A proven and complete bar code testing platform for detailed bar code quality analysis and documentation.
 
Statistical Process Control  (SPC)
- Histograms, control charts, trending, process capability & central tendency charts make bar code analysis easy.
 
Product Acceptability
- Scan reflectance profiles reveal overall single scan grade under ANSI standards or other quality assurance guidelines.

Verification Software with A.N.S.I. Bar Code Evaluation Guidelines

Users can substantially expand bar code verification and diagnostic capability by connecting
PSC or HHP brand verification equipment to a personal computer running the QUALIFIER software.

MULTIPLE SCAN GRADE PRINT-OUT ...

· A.N.S.I 10-scan average grade summary includes statistical  information and uses applied A.N.S.I. bar code evaluation  guidelines

· Central tendency scan averaging of up to 3500 records will   enable detailed analysis of large print runs or research and   development projects.
 

PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS ...

· Each problem is summarized on screen, and can be   printed in the quality report.

· A suggestion is made to help you take corrective   action for the problems detected
 

TREND GRAPHS ...

· One quality characteristic can affect another    characteristic.  Operator, time (speed of printing,    energy transfer time), pressure, materials (substrates,  inks), are some of the variables that affect ANSI  quality characteristics. Changing any variable will   effect the quality of your bar code.

· Trending will help you control the print   process. 
 

HISTOGRAMS ...

· Clearly illustrate the distribution of verification  samples using histograms, available with a simple  selection from the menu.
