What is the very best handheld barcode verifier available today? Here are the main attributes:

  1. ISO compliant. A scanner running verification software isn’t really a verifier.
  2. Intuitive, uncomplicated both in usage and in reporting
  3. Inexpensive–this needs no further explanation
  4. Portable

…and in today’s marketplace, the 5th important attribute is availability. Waiting weeks or months for your verifier leaves you exposed and vulnerable.

Make it Easy

Having a verifier is great, but having a verifier that goes where it’s needed–that’s brilliant. Having a barcode verifier at the quality station in the middle of the production floor is not a quality solution if no one uses it.

The verifier on the quality desk shares space with the color checker, inspection loupes, paper from the nearby copier, random press sheets and labels left by previous visitors. The mess is one thing. The inconvenience is another. The ten-minute walk through the maze of workers and presses, then waiting in line to use the verifier, finding it under the mess on the desk, is another. Are you the only one having second thoughts about, “…how important is this really?”

A verifier at every printer is great but it’s expensive. Ditch the desk and get a verifier that travels. Not a totally original idea, you say? True—but we got it right. Not all portable verifiers are the same. There are real portables that are fake verifiers. Remember the Quick Check? Easy—but meaningless. It was portable but it really wasn’t a verifier. If you can’t calibrate it, it isn’t a verifier.

Why Verify?

3db Barcode Testimonial

Our company (an advanced software company) recently worked with Barcode Test to source a barcode verifier.  Not long ago, we were awarded a contract requiring products to be marked with IUIDs in accordance with MIL-STD-130.  For that standard, marking labels must pass a verification test that evaluates many variables (contrast, size, clarity, syntax, modularity, and more).  After a thorough search, we reduced our options to a select few.

In our search for a verifier, the Axicon line caught our attention.  Barcode Test is our regional reseller for this product.   From the beginning, they were very prompt with their responses.  We ended up having a quick call with John Nachtrieb to go over our needs.  John was extremely easy to work with and provided a lot of great information.  He was very knowledgeable on the matter and was quick to offer up a demo unit (free of charge).

Upon receiving the demo verifier and testing it, a few questions arose.  John joined a call with us and answered all our questions.  Ultimately, the Axicon verifier wasn’t the best fit for us, so we shipped the demo back.  John was completely understanding.  A few weeks later, Barcode Test reached back out with another possible verifier for us to try.  While they didn’t sell that brand, they just wanted to help us find the best option that met our needs. They even offered to send us the unit that they have in-house to see if it worked to our liking. 

Barcode Test is truly a great company to work with.  Their service and willingness to help the customer are far beyond what you typically get from other companies.  They are experts in barcode quality assurance and seem willing to help in any way they can (even if that means not getting a sale and recommending another option that better fits the customer’s needs).  If anyone is in the market for barcode verification/scanning services or products, I would highly recommend giving Barcode Test a call.
