    PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (May 11, 2006) - Accu-Sort Systems is helping users sort through the data from their sortation systems to maximize throughput with its launch of FAST Monitor(TM), a new generation of software. FAST Monitor monitors and diagnoses potential issues that affect scanners in sortation systems, enabling distribution center warehouse maintenance managers to maximize package throughput and minimize downtime.

    "Accu-Sort's FAST Monitor is the first maintenance and engineering tool specifically designed for the Auto ID market that provides real-time performance data," said Andrew Ross, product marketing manager with Accu-Sort Systems. "It gives users the ability to identify and diagnose problems from any location in the world in as little as five seconds.

    The software is based on an SQL database and runs in a Linux® or Windows® environment. Data is presented in the form of a web page accessible through Microsoft® Internet Explorer® or a Mozilla® browser. Authorized users can access FAST Monitor data anywhere in world. "It is the only pre-written software distributed by a bar code scanner manufacturer that gives customers statistics on the performance of their sortation equipment, plus diagnostic and maintenance feedback on individual devices connected to the system," Ross said.
