collection and analysis of employees’ working hours for payroll processing, and
the collection of task reports for the ERP system, for receiving the numbers of
work orders, and a continuous receipt of data which has been collected from the
shop floor. Job reports are done by CCD barcode scanners / readers which are
connected to the terminals, spread throughout the production halls in various
sites of the plant, including remote sites.
The CCD barcode reader scans the machine data or job number directly from the
route card order into the terminal, eliminating the need to key-in the numbers,
thus avoiding errors. The use of barcode makes the report easy, fast and
accurate. The attendance reports are then transferred by interface to the payroll
system for processing and pay slips produced.
