Hi Simon, thanks, I took a look, seems pretty accessible. I think people can largely use the custom python component for these kind of stuff?
Hello @tgourdel The target persona in the use case aren't the most technical ones, mostly people in logistics if we have a look to some use cases :
Inventory Management System
Objective: Create barcodes for tracking inventory items. Input: Product details (CSV or database with product name, SKU, quantity). Warehouse location data. Data Preparation/Transformation: Normalize product data (e.g., clean names, remove duplicates). Map products to appropriate categories or locations. Generate unique identifiers (e.g., SKU+Location code). Output: A set of barcodes for each item stored in a warehouse, ready for scanning and tracking.
Shipping and Logistics
Objective: Generate barcodes for shipping labels. Input: Customer order details (JSON via API or flat file). Shipping provider codes. Data Preparation/Transformation: Standardize addresses and validate ZIP codes. Enrich data with carrier information and tracking number. Format data for barcode encoding. Output: Barcodes embedded in shipping labels with order and tracking details.
Retail Product Labeling
Objective: Create product labels with barcodes for a retail store. Input: Product catalog (Excel or database). Pricing rules or discounts (manual entry or API). Data Preparation/Transformation: Calculate final prices based on discounts or tax rules. Associate each product with its unique UPC or EAN barcode. Format labels with product details and price. Output: Printable barcode labels for in-store product placement.
Attendance Tracking System
Objective: Generate barcodes for ID cards or tickets for an event. Input: Attendee list (CSV with name, ID, and email). Data Preparation/Transformation: Validate attendee details (remove duplicates, standardize formats). Assign unique codes or identifiers to each attendee. Output: Barcodes for scanning attendees into events or facilities.
Manufacturing Process Optimization
Objective: Barcode generation for tracking parts in production. Input: Parts list with batch details (database or Excel). Quality control checkpoints. Data Preparation/Transformation: Group parts by batch and production stage. Enrich data with timestamps and production line IDs. Output: Barcodes for each batch of parts for monitoring progress and quality checks.
Best regards,
Simon
Hello,
I just found this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtTPCUCHc-g
Pretty interesting, we can imagine a lot of use cases like consolidating several sources of item stock, and creating a PDF with a barcode to scan them. Or sending an email with a custom barcode in it, etc, etc (well, I guess it means maybe a dedicated amphi type.
Best regards,
Simon
