Unified control method and system for bar code printing equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a unified control method and system for bar code printing equipment. The method comprises the following steps: a bar code printing configuration center is arranged, the type of the bar code printing equipment is configured at the bar code printing configuration center, and the types of each bar code printing application and each bar code printing equipment correspond to each equipment control module; one bar code printing application acquires the type of the corresponding bar code printing equipment from the bar code printing configuration center when started to print a bar code, and acquires the corresponding equipment control module according to the type of the corresponding bar code printing equipment; the started bar code printing application generates the bar code according to the bar code generation rules and transmits the bar code to the acquired equipment control module, so that the equipment control module controls corresponding bar code printing equipment to print the bar code. With adoption of the method and the system, workload of a development worker can be reduced, the development period can be shortened, and the production efficiency of products is not affected by a bar code recognition link.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of information management, and more specifically, to a unified control method and system for barcode printing equipment. Background technique [0002] In the production and manufacturing process of products, due to the needs of traceability, testing, packaging and customer requirements, it is necessary to carry out barcode identification on products. The way to identify the barcode includes inkjet printing, laser printing and so on. Since different barcode marking methods adopt different types of barcode printing equipment, for example, inkjet printing adopts inkjet printing equipment, and laser printing adopts laser printing equipment. Therefore, the barcode templates adopted by different barcode printing devices and the methods of controlling the printing of barcode printing devices are different. [0003] In the actual production environment, in order to realize the identification of product bar...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when the production environment changes, such as replacing the barcode printing device or changing the barcode marking method (changing the barcode printing method), it is necessary to regenerate the corresponding barcode printing application according to the replaced device or the changed printing method, that is, the barcode printing application needs to be Re-embed barcode generation rules and equipment control modules in the system, which will not only increase the workload of developers, prolong the development cycle of barcode printing applications, but also affect the production efficiency of products in the barcode identification process
