  1. Thanks! I did end up finding out how to set up an interface for the plant to scan a barcode, and it works! Now I'm working on a script that would send the work order info back into a database on FM Pro, along with a timestamp and the user ID to identify where in the plant the order is. Exporting that info from Go to a database in Pro is possible over a Wifi connection right? I saw an old post that said Exporting isn't possible from Go, but I'm not sure what version they were talking about
  2. Yeah I just got v13 for the bar code functions, having issues finding where it is in the program because I can't seem to find anything about it. I have a ticket open for them to get back to me. Excited and hoping this works! Thanks for your help
  3. Hey thanks for the input, I was looking at CNS Barcode as well and I think thats what I'm going to go with. We have a system that generates barcodes, but I don't know what type and if it will even be useful. I'm going to look into QRcode. Thanks!
  4. Hello, I am looking to incorporate an order tracking system using barcodes and FileMaker to easily track where an order is in the plant. Basically I want to know if what I want to do is even possible, and if so how to do it as inexpensive as possible. Using FileMaker Pro 12, and FileMaker Go and a barcode scanner (I would use a smartphone or iPad as the scanner and FileMaker Go), I would like to enter an order into the database, assign a barcode to it, then when the order gets to the plant I want them to be able to scan the barcode and send it to the office so our database will update with a timestamp of when the department got the order. I want there to be some sort of ID for each iPad/iPhone so that each step in the production process can be monitored and allow for us to see how far along the order is in the manufacturing process. I was wondering if this technology would be capable of doing something like that? Would I be able to add more information than just a time stamp? For example, can I add more fields that would also allow the scanners to send info to the database regarding items that are on the order? Thank you for your help, I truly appreciate it
