Controlling in automated letter ma ...

Specified application

The other day (refer to "Data Logger ..." article) I showed how companies are using the ipcas Data/Event Logger in combination with a light barrier to automatically count paper sheets in printing applications. Yet other companies devised the means of combining the Data/Event Logger with a barcode reader to crosscheck and verify processed addresses with respect to requested mailing lists in automated letter mailing procedures.

Implementation

How is it done? – A customary barcode reader is simply attached to conveyer at the output side of the printing machine or at the end of an automated letter processing procedure. The data logger is then connected to the device and to the industrial network or PC. Using the barcode reader, the data logger identifies and compares the addresses and possibly even the letter contents of the processed letters with the list of requested addresses and the required letter content.

An idea of what the monitoring mask might look like can be gleaned from a Windows.Form application among many possible others (see Application range of included software below).

Thanks to the ipcas Data/Event Logger mailing companies can now always be sure they've sent the correct mail to all of their desired addressees.
