Well, fall is firing on all cylinders here in Indiana and we have some scary tales to tell. How about a story where a company consistently loses the mobile devices that allow them to track inventory in their manufacturing facility? Or a customer that was encountering issues with their mobile computers, only to exhaust all levels of troubleshooting? Have no fear. EMP had a solution for all of these terrifying scenarios. Check out the articles that went along with them and more in this month's Between the Bars!

"Say do you remember....RFID labels in September?". In this month's #BetweenTheBars we're sharing advice on "How to Manage Your Technology Debt", testing whether or not RFID tags can withstand subzero temperatures, and a Customer Solutions story involving the extraction of data from PDF files for printing labels. Plus we dive deeper into two Seagull Scientific case studies featuring how one of our longtime customers benefits from using BarTender, and how we use BarTender in our daily operations. All this and more for September 2024!

Summer is coming to a close. Which usually means back to school, state fairs, and..."Tech Tips with Rich"? In this month's issue of #betweenthebars we're diving into the secret of matching the correct ribbons to your labels as well as the importance of labels themselves. Afterall, they ARE the reason why most of us are here and what most of us rely on to keep our businesses operational. And finally, an Opinion piece from our President Dave Mattingly titled, "Why RFID shouldn't always be your first choice". You don't want to scroll past this one. All this and more in the August 2024 #betweenthebars issue!

In this month's newsletter we pan our focus to our "Customer Solutions" section where we feature a project in which we were able to utilize our latest RFID Portal design. Plus, an Op-Ed from Dave Mattingly on potential supply chain woes in the near future, and some exciting news from our friends at Zebra Technologies.

If you're from Indianapolis, you're familiar with what goes on here during this month. It's Race Month here in Indy. Only a few more weeks till the Greatest Spectacle in Racing: The Indianapolis 500. And it feels like the year has been going 200 MPH because summer is knocking on our doors. To close out Spring, we've got this month's "Between The Bars" featuring some great articles on Custom MES Integration with Seagull Scientific's BarTender, some slick new wearable hardware from Zebra Technologies, and a think piece from our own Dave Mattingly on the "Rules of ROI". All this and more!

Spring has finally sprung. But if you're like us here in Indiana, the weather doesn't truly reflect the season yet. But it will fall in line soon enough. That speaks true for our customers as second quarter business starts to pick up some steam. In this month's newsletter we cover our findings at hashtag MODEX2024, an opinion piece on "Cloud Software" by our own Dave Mattingly, and the unrivaled features within BarTender Cloud by Seagull Scientific.

March is a fairly significant month for us here in Indiana. If you have no idea what we're talking about, do yourself a favor and watch the film "Hoosiers" to understand our relationship with basketball. And just like basketball, you can have the best employees and still come up short on the road to a successful year. But when you give those employees the resources and the proper tools, the sky's the limit. In this month's "Between the Bars", we cover some of those helpful resources as well as a key tools for businesses just starting to print their own labels in-house.

Back to the bottom of the hill again. The beginning of a new year can easily feel like you're at the bottom of the hill again, forgotten how to climb. Yet sometimes all you have to do is open your eyes to the resources and surroundings from past journeys. Sometimes tools and strategies that worked before can help you jumpstart solutions for current problems. In this month's #betweenthebars we look at those tools that worked for not only our customers, but for EMP Technical Group as well.

The New Year: The same goals, but different and here's why. There's nothing wrong with always trying to be better and mind you we will always strive to be. But if the formula is working, you might not want to stray too far from the path. Check out our plans for the New Year, exciting projects, and all the tips and tricks to start 2024 off the right way!

Happy Holidays from EMP Technical Group! This December issue is the "Best Of" issue! We've chosen the three best articles from each section of our newsletter to finish off the year strong. But also to reflect on some great resources and solutions we were able to provide for our customers and partners.

Have you integrated an ERP into your operations yet? Well, we have. On our own. We'd love to share our experience for those looking to upgrade with Microsoft's Dynamics 365 Business Central. The ups AND the downs. Also, how about a round of applause for Labels? It's easy to forget about labels especially for some customers as their initial focus is buying printers that would consume such labels. In this issue, we shine a light on everything "Labels". And finally, we dive deeper into 'why it's important to be a technology company in the AIDC industry'. It can be the difference between a great experience for a customer and bad one.
