Published: June 16, 2008

VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA | VantagePoint Systems announces advanced software features for its Roll Stock Inventory Control Module that is claimed to handle all functions for corrugated manufacturers that scan roll-related information directly into their business system, employing readable bar-coded labels affixed to the rolls. The RF-enabled (radio frequency) Roll Stock Module utilizes hand-held scanners to control bar-coded raw materials inventory. The company says the RF SmartScreen allows the use of a single easy-to-use screen to perform all the necessary functions of moving rolls from trucks to the warehouse and corrugator. The software is optimized for running on rugged hand-held scanners, and requires minimal manual keyboard data entry, says the company. Users report noticeable reduction in waste and lower working capital requirements. For more information, visit: www.vpgroup.com.
