The plant OOO “KORTEM GORELTEX ” (since 30.05.2016 OOO “ZAVOD GORELTEX ”) has been assigned an individual bar coding number

The assignment of an individual barcode number to the Russian plant of explosion-proof equipment, KORTEM GORELTEX CO. LTD. (since May 30, 2016, ZAVOD GORELTEX CO. LTD.) is the next link in the chain of implementing a long-term development strategy, which is based on improving the quality of customer service.

Effective management of production, quality, and inventory processes requires timely and accurate product control. Identification is an effective mechanism for tracking a product from warehouse to retailer. This is the determination of the nature and purpose of a product based on a set of organized information used to identify all the existing characteristics that define its uniqueness, i.e., its distinction from all others.

A barcode serves a similar purpose to a postal code, which we write in stylized digits in the corner of an envelope. It is a unique symbol consisting of a clear pattern of stripes and spaces between them, illustrating the machine code of letters and numbers in the binary system assigned to each product. The barcode's most important advantage is that it is easily "read" by electronics by measuring the intensity of light reflection from the black and white stripes and can be automatically processed by computers. This makes it possible to solve one of the most complex computer problems—data entry—by completely eliminating errors.

Automated inventory control of shipped products can be performed at any time, allowing for the necessary stock to be retrieved from the warehouse as needed. This simplifies product inflow forecasting, streamlines inventory management, and provides staff with information about the most popular items. Barcodes are used to monitor product quality and ensure compliance with the original sample.
