RFID for inventory control

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the latest way of tracking inventory. Along with the barcode tags, WinJewel now also allows RFID readers and tags to allow fast and easy inventory control.

We are looking for the first few WinJewel users to sign on to use the technology. It requires the purchase of hardware and matching tags. All of the software needed is included in the current version of WinJewel.

Call Larry at WinJewel (360-658-9875) for more information.

Microscope support now included in WinJewel

WinJewel now will interface with a microscope USB camera.

This can be very helpful in appraising and inventory pictures of the interior of stones or showing great detail of anything. The magnification can be from 1 to 150 power.

Call the WinJewel support department and ask for LARRY for details of how to use this or to acquire the microscope.

Drivers license scanning widely used

Many WinJewel users are speeding up the capture of customer information by scanning drivers licenses for sales, buys and pawn transactions.

WinJewel now can read US and Canadian drivers license information. This will enter name, address, and personal description information for the scanned customer.

You will need to have a scanner that can read 2 dimensional bar codes. All US states and Canadian provences are supposed to be printing the bar code data on all new licenses by 2010 renewals and new issues.

You will need to have a magnetic swipe reader that can read multi-line magnetic stripes if your state currently uses this on their license.

To turn this feature on you should go to "System Settings". Call the WinJewel support department for details.
