Anyone know if encoding is possible with zebra. We were about to send back my devices when noticed that encoding is not on zebra.
One of the ipod mydevices the top broke early on. We had a former TM would had an Iphone would take it out and charge it on his lunch. It is one of our surviving four because there was nothing wrong with it because it was always properly charnged. (those honeywell shells are forever shitty)We 3m velcroed a ipod to the scanner plus one of those batteries we sell in electronics so we can keep that ipod charged.
Techically it should work because the streams should combine together. Will it? That depends on how well the app was coded.No. Do we actually get a MyDevice that is charged(we label one for RFID but its been taken multiple times by overnight). Will we actually get to scan and not work a hour long stupid huddle. Will I get it to the point that when I leave they can actually finish it. ETL breathing down my neck every 15min of how many counts, TL trying to use two guns so we get done faster(which I doubt we can do since data is stored in handheld). So it's a fun day. Last week he did this weeks scan and they submitted both so who knows what will happen this week cause it is already done.
Now they already trying to jam phase II crap on us. But cutting hours at the same time.
Its against best practices to remove the shitty honeywell scanner from the ipod but the shitty honeywell scanner is what is killing them anyway so you did the smart thing. Besides you dont need a scanner to use the rfidWhat we have done in my store is:
The myDevice designated for RFID is permanently stored in the STLs office.
We requisitioned an item called 'Outdoor Tech Kodiak Power Bank.' What this item does is, when connected to a myDevice, it extends the life of the myDevice so that it will maintain a full charge throughout the shift. We found that a fully charged myDevice registers scans more quickly (whether or not this is beneficial is TBD). Both the power bank and myDevice fit comfortably in a myDevice holster.
The catch?
You must remove the actual ipod from the red scanning cartridge so that is can be connected to the power bank. None of the bits our PMT were small enough, so, we visited the local hardware store to find the correct size. Apparently removing the myDevice is against some sort of Target law, but, WHATEVER!?!!?... We are getting our scans in unimpeded by the errors associated with a myDevice running on a low battery.
What I don't understand is why our STL thinks he has quarentine that one myDevice in his office for the whole week. We can plug any myDevice into the power bank and run on full charge!
This is why I said it should. Its the app thats the problem there. Which is why I am glad I am in HL area without it.I keep trying to tell them but they won't listen, since I have done stuff like this before. I knew it when the data was stored on the handheld, it never has the chance to merge and delete dupes which takes longer than you think. Why spot didn't bother. But they keep shoving the idea out there.
How about we get good with one and get it solid before we "get fancy" K? K.
And what is weird? I still like my job. Really I do.

I'm gonna test it out tomorrow. I think it will work cause someone else did the scan and today and if I went to rfid on my zebra I was able to see there numbers... Tomorrow I'm gonna take my zebra and scan, put it down take another zebra and sled and see if it updates on both... If it works it will make scanning SL way faster.

If you have two people to scan... and if two people take half the time that might be great but it's no different on payroll than if one person takes the full time. Or am I missing something here?
Another scan day tomorrow... we've been getting so much in trucks (double trucks) that I'm almost afraid to see the numbers tomorrow. -_-
So, busiest week of the year and we still have to scan. They sent out a notice with scan dates but they were just the same dates we're currently scanning. They could have just said, RFID scans will continue through the holidays with no break. Sux that I have so much to do this week and 2 RFID scans as well. *sigh*
Haha guess who didn't get scheduled for the SL scan this week One of my TLs has to do it instead.
Yeah we will just stop picking and packing SFS to scan your RFID, sure we will.. I believe that hardlines and softlines will be doing it this week.. cause we ain't got time for that shit!
Lucky you! I've a feeling I'm NEVER getting out of these stupid scans. ><
Yep, if I'm there, I'm doing it. My ETL wanted me on the Thanksgiving/BF late-night/ON prep team, but couldn't because I do the scan on Wednesdays. Yet they do not schedule me appropriately for the scan. Coming in at 6 or 8 would be nice, and shift tagging me RFID (which they've done for the HL folks). Instead they'll schedule me under fitting room and have me come in at random times. Also, our HL TLs take turns doing their scan. SL is all me and im just a tm. And then I get attitude when I cannot scan the hanging backstock because I am not trained on the wav.
You don't need the WAV; the RFID gun will pick items up scanning from the ground.Yep, if I'm there, I'm doing it.
