Dentists can monitor equipment and supplies with barcode inventory ...

Posted March 30, 2012

Finding an efficient way to track equipment and supplies can prove difficult, especially for dentists. These professionals use instruments to deliver amnesia, fill cavities and perform complex operations. Tools play an important role in a dentist's success, so using an efficient inventory management system can help these workers immensely.

A barcode scanner can assist dentists in several ways. Not only can dental professionals use the device to track equipment and supplies, but the professionals can also reduce operating costs.

For example, a dentist can place barcode labels on x-ray machines they may use on a daily basis, allowing them to monitor the equipment for maintenance purposes. These professionals can review when a machine was delivered, if it requires repairs or if replacement is necessary with information stored in a barcode. This enhances office efficiency, making it easy for dentists to control expenses and manage supply inventory.

A reader such as the Honeywell Xenon 1902 can support dentist offices nationwide. The cordless scanner incorporates a state-of-the-art sensor with an extended depth of field to deliver enhanced scanning of all barcodes.
