Welcome

My name is Jess Joseph Schambers. I’m originally from the Detroit Area but currently call the Chicago Area home. I have over 20 years experience in business systems design and application software design, programming and support. During the last 16 years, I’ve been extensively involved with bar code integration and implementation. As a bar code consultant I’ve designed and implemented new bar code systems and have had great success in turning around failing bar code systems.

I’ve been a speaker at the Uniform Code Council’s Global Supply Chain Conference and worked on two of their standards committees, the Shipping Container Marking and Labeling Committee and the Industrial and Commercial Action Committee. And, have been a speaker at several conferences designed to improve bar code quality at retail point of sale.

In addition to these qualifications, I am also the author of “Bar Code Developer” a developer tool that allows users to print bar code graphics on almost any standard graphic printer. Written in several languages, this library has been successfully installed on systems ranging from AS/400’s to RISC based systems to Intel based systems. There are currently thousands of users running OS/400, AIX, UNIX, LINUX, Windows and DOS.

It is my hope that this blog will allow me to share my experience with the readers and help the readers install cost effective, successful bar code systems.
