Historical project reference
The saved Materials Handling page describes a magazine sorting and tracking system for DD Mailing. The historical description records barcode scanning of more than 80,000 magazines and books per day. That figure belongs to the archived reference and does not establish a guarantee for another installation.

Connecting identification to the sorting sequence
For a comparable project, establish the points at which products are detected, identified and transferred. Agree the information each machine needs and how the controls and tracking records should behave when an item is not detected, a downstream section is unavailable or a connection is interrupted. These are planning questions for a new enquiry rather than additional claims about the archived installation.
