Winco ID has joined forces with LXE as member of the PartnerPass program.

LXE manufactures a rugged line of mobile computing solutions to keep your workforce on the move and connected to corporate networks.

Mobile computers are empowering workers to be more productive and accurate by capturing  data at the point of activity. With the ability to communicate that information in real-time, managers have better controls over tracking, traceability and inventory control issues.

What does this mean for our customers? 

Open Choices:  Our new partnership with LXE  allows us to offer the complete line up of mobile data collection products in hand-held, vehicle-mount, and wearable computers to suit your applications.

Runs Full-Version of Windows: LXE products offer full windows screens to allow you to run the full-version of Windows XP. You are no longer limited to Windows CE. For those of you who have faced this limitation, know how exciting this can be.

Rugged, Reliable Wireless Solutions: LXE products are designed with rugged in mind. Gone are the days when wireless was a concept for the kindest environments only. These computers are built to survive cold, even freezing temperatures with special casings, heating features and anti-fog screens. Harsh, industrial environments where flammable gases, vapors or liquids may be present are no challenge.

Complete Solutions: Along with the most expansive mobile computer line, you will find scanners, imagers, and wireless network products by the same manufacturer to complete your mobile solution.

With the advances in wireless networking, barcoding, and RF data collection, companies are taking full-advantage and mobilizing their workforce. By eliminating the need for paperwork, businesses can move at a much quicker pace and rely on electronic information from where ever they are located. It helps the green initiative as well.

So our friends at Seagull Scientific have been busy again. Bartender has been my label design software of choice for as long as I can remember and it keeps getting better.

The latest version 9.2 has just been released and it includes a new look and a host of new features.

The arrival of Windows 7 makes this a great time to release a new version that is compatable with Microsoft’s latest OS. The designers have also taken the opportunity to revamp the UI bring in a new icon set.

A while ago, Seagull started to enhance the value of Bartender by introducing companion applications and some new ones are added this time.

BarTender Librarian application lets large groups of designers, administrators and other users  manage the storage and revision of label formats and other files. Perfect for businesses where the label design process needs to be controlled for security and revision control.

Print Station is another companion applicaiton, this one allows operators to carry out simple print jobs without ever having to open the label design program – a nice addition to the collection.

We have been using Bartender 9.2 for a few days for our own print jobs and it is working really well with no issues – just as we expected.

To learn more about all the changes in Bartender 9.2, see this Whitepaper from Seagull.

What label software do you prefer to use? Do you upgrade when new versions arrive or keep with your current install?
