What’ll you have? Seagull Scientific has released version 9. 2 of its
BarTender software for designing and printing labels, bar codes,
and RFID tags. The new version’s companion Librarian application
can store label formats in a secure database instead of loose on a
user’s hard drive. It logs revisions; manages the work flow of label
formats between states, such as draft, approved, and published;
and even supports revision rollback.
Version 9. 2 also includes a new Print Station utility that lets nontechnical users easily point and click to print BarTender label formats without having to see the inside of a label design program.

Hear here: Robocom Systems International has released its R-Voice 3.0 Voice Picking Solution to help warehouse and DC managers achieve the productivity gains being demanded of them in
this tough economic environment.
