Liberty University uses TECSYS’ Warehouse Management Software

I just found this great article about a well know Christian School in the south getting some WMS for their distribution process. Here’s a sample of the article:

Liberty is planning an aggressive integration solution that will automate receiving, put away and shipping/delivery. TECSYS’ WMS will be the hub for interconnecting and distributing data to and from multiple Banner modules, as well as applications that drive work orders, fulfillment, and requisitions. Banner Unified Digital Campus is the world’s most widely-used collegiate administrative suite of student, financial aid, finance, human resources, and advancement systems designed to support institutions of all sizes and types.

“Liberty University is pleased to choose TECSYS as our warehouse management solution vendor. TECSYS’ WMS is a perfect fit for our institution due to its high level of flexibility and ease of integration with our academic ERP. We look forward to a successful implementation and a long relationship with TECSYS,” Gauger concluded.

So even smaller Universities like Liberty have a use for Supply Chain Management equipment and software. It’s great news for Universities and for those in the Supply Chain Industry, as BRS is.

Thermal Printers: checklist for moving

By BarcodeMan

Once they are set up and running, thermal printers usually stay in one place in an office or on a plant floor. If you do have to move one, to another location in the building or to another facility, it’s important to keep in mind the following suggestions:

1. NEVER move the thermal printer with paper loaded – it can damage the printer.

2. ALWAYS lock down the printhead so it doesn’t bounce around… it’s a very expensive part!

3. Pack the printer so it won’t tip over, or lay it down with its heavy side down (normally the display side). Continue Reading »Helpful tips from the PM Rep at BRS

New Opportunities with SS Automation

Last week a few members of BRS met with Jim Witmer from SS Automation.  They sell the Universal line of auto apply equipment (like auto applicators).  The universal line is a direct competitor to Auto Labe.  In any event, the Universal rep who’s territory includes the state of TN, retired and Jim’s company now has that area.  He was going to hire a salesman in this area, but a mutal friend and business partner mentioned BRS and our relationship.

The exciting thing is that BRS can provide label stock and ribbon for the existing customers who are using Universal products.  We think that there are over 50 sites in this territory.  Jim Witmer is not interested in selling the labels and ribbon since BRS can handle the support f or the equipment

Just another great opportunity happening at BRS.

BRS, Libraries and Singapore

So this year, BRS stumbled across an opportunity to provide solutions for a few local libraries. Not simply with asset tracking methods like barcode scanners/labels but with RFID technology.

Since BRS President Paul Reed, has spoken at as an expert on RFID at numerous events, and BRS as a whole is RFID certified, BRS brings years of knowledge to the table. Needless to say BRS was exited to offer knowledge and potential solutions to the  local libraries.

After much research and a new leading partner called ST LogiTrack. BRS found a full RFID solution for these Libraries with: ST LogiTrack’s ELiMS system.
