What is Blue Dog TrackerTM?
Blue Dog Tracker™ System is a data collection solution for collecting data remotely with a portable bar code terminal and then uploading that information to the computer database. Blue Dog Tracker™ is designed to scan a bar coded work order or similar forms, and then record key pieces of information about the job and equipment used on the job. Blue Dog Tracker™ provides a vast improvement to keeping these records on paper.
Paper records are often just filed away in a folder with the rest of the job information. This dated manual approach to record keeping makes data lookup and reporting a time consuming and wasteful process. Whether you use Blue Dog Tracker™ to track the standard maintenance on your valuable equipment or to report calibration schedules, record instrument qualification or just routine service, Blue Dog Tracker™ is a time and money saver.
Why use a bar code solution?
Automated Data Capture, known as ADC, is the ability of a machine to read a label. There are several machine readable methods which include bar code, RFID, magnetic stripe and proximity devices. We have chosen bar codes as the most cost effective and flexible method. Scanning saves the time recording data. A simple scan only takes seconds.
The accuracy of scanning a bar code eliminates transposed hand writing errors and translation guessing due to sloppy penmanship.
Automated Data Capture makes the information available to a database file electronically. This eliminates the need to transcribe paper records to computer files, which is time consuming, expensive and an error prone process.
