MILWAUKEE - Oct. 21, 2003 - TEKLYNX® International, the world's leading developer of software products for the automatic identification and data collection (AIDC) marketplace, today announced CODESOFT® 7.0 label design software. Positioned at the top of the TEKLYNX family of label design offerings, CODESOFT is ideal for multi-national enterprises that have complex, networked, multi-language label management requirements.
CODESOFT 7.0 has a unique combination of ease-of-use features, taking advantage of the Microsoft Windows interface and drag & drop designs, and a powerful enterprise orientation that includes sophisticated database support. CODESOFT label design software uses UNICODE to standardize virtually every data format and native language, including North American and Western European languages, as well as Chinese, Japanese and many Eastern European and Asian languages, into a single universal format.
CODESOFT 7.0 is available in three versions: Sprint - provides a simple design interface and supports virtually any printer; Premier - adds database access, date and math calculation functions, and ODBC; and Enterprise - adds systems integration tools.
TEKLYNX is also introducing a new network license that gives customers greater flexibility in deploying, moving and managing CODESOFT licenses. A network assistant helps administrators configure CODESOFT networks. Network licenses are available in five, ten, 25 and 50 user packages.
"Our objective with CODESOFT is to provide an off-the-shelf solution to facilitate the creation and printing of complex labels for large enterprises," commented Janick Villanneau, product manager for label design at TEKLYNX International. "So, we developed an enterprise-class product that is data and native language source agnostic, that includes industry-specific compliance labels, has full network capabilities, and supports well over 1,000 printers.
"With this new version, we will uniquely address all pharmaceutical and chemical industries by providing the package that intimately accesses the data to print multi-lingual labels instantaneously," said Villanneau. "Add to that new objects properties to share information/fields among different labels and you have a network solution to solve your printing projects."
