Sentinel enables automatic label printing out of an ERP, WMS, or other business systems to eliminate manual data entry, while Label Archive offers complete visibility into the barcode label printing process with secure user access and approval workflows. The range of new features implemented in 2021 versions are designed around market needs to connect software with end-users better and streamline the barcode labeling process.

The new version of Sentinel ensures no interruptions in labeling workflows during server upgrades, unexpected shutdowns, or scheduled maintenance by using an automatic backup server activation process. It now integrates with RESTful API, the standard of web protocols offering greater flexibility with the Enhanced Web API. The software package also supports the Modbus protocol messaging structure to receive data from a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to trigger the printing of a label.

New features for the Label Archive 2021 include an enhanced web interface and a new label request workflow to extend label tracking.

‘Barcodes are a critical aspect of the supply chain, and manufacturers are consistently on the lookout to meet demands for product safety, customer responsiveness, and supply chain agility,’ said Thierry Mauger, president of Teklynx International. ‘The Teklynx 2021 enterprise solutions are enhanced to provide stronger connections between systems, between people, between organizations, and throughout the entire global supply chain, to help companies of all sizes barcode better.’
