Version 16 is here! This past weekend we updated the servers to the new version 16 of the customer console. 

There are 3 major new features we are now offering in the new version:

-       DCC Cloud Print

-       DCC Lot Utilities

-       DCC Automator

Let’s dive in on each of these new features.

DCC Cloud Print

Now you can design and print labels from anywhere in the world that you are connected to the DCC Cloud!

-       No Print drivers needed

-       ZPL only at this time

In the image above you can see the label design page. As you can see, it is very simple to create a label in the designer. Size options are very straightforward, text settings easy to use, as well as easy to use barcode formatting options. This label can be printed to any printer that is connected to the cloud! You don’t need to be on the same network!

DCC Lot Utilities

If you are tracking your inventory by lot numbers (like food safety) then this feature might be for you. Lot Utilities now allows you to quickly identify raw materials and finished goods that need to be recalled/isolated, it even uses AI to help identify the responsible raw materials!

In the image above you can see that I am viewing a recall report that was done recently. All you have to do is type in the ItemNumber with the LotNumber on the bottom left of the screen and it will run a full recall report. It will tell you the affected Items/Lots as well as any potential common culprits in the raw materials.

DCC Automator

Looking to dive deeper into your data and the timeline of your inventory? This is the feature for you! DCC Automator makes it to where you can automate several tasks on a schedule to summarize and organize your data. For example, you can tell the Automator to take a snapshot of your inventory every night at midnight, with these snapshots, you can go back in history to compare what your inventory was on those 2 different dates.

In the image above you can see that I have a task setup to run daily at 12 am. I selected the database I want to snapshot; it even asks me what fields in that database I want to snapshot.
