In Singapore Science Centre one time, we did this ( see video ) for 10,000 sq metres of space. We started with Ekahau version 2.0. Obviously since that time, there have been improvements to the engine I would think. The most current version is up till 4.1.

This is a typical calibration stage when you train the software to recognize spaces, and context.

We like to keep track of the comments that came through emails, customer interactions or even on this blog. And the objective is to implement those great ideas, build them into EJS.

Current users will get their upgrades for free, and new users will benefit from these new innovations.

Comment 1 & Coming Up

Coming week, we are installing EJS Retail for a new retailer situated on the eastern part of Singapore. Following comments from the owner of the shop, we added a feature which allows the retail to handle consignments. This is when a retailer receives new consignments from the wholesale. The retailer may then sell from this consignment or return certain pieces that are unsold.

Comment 2

Someone who contacted us on the email and had earlier downloaded EJS Wholesale asked about

How do I design different label styles in your program ?

At this time, the jewelry software does not have a feature that allows user to design labels, be it barcode or RFID. We thought this is a great feature to include in EJS and we will plan for this.

I hope this has been helpful. Get tune in to tips, tutorials, and more updates on Enterprise Jewelry Software by subscribing to this blog.

One of the biggest challenges that diamond traders face with is in managing the hundreds if not thousands of loose gems. Imagine walking into the office with all these envelopes of precious loose stones stacked in boxes and …………………

try figure what is the current inventory status for the goods.

If you are using a barcode scanner, life is probably prettier although still rather tedious. For some it is an entirely MANUAL task, an extremely laborious job. It will take ages just to make sure all the numbers tally.

What if there is a better solution? Like sticking the box through a tunnel-like scanner, and everything about your inventory reads out to you on the screen?

The RFID Answer

Diamonds are placed in an individual envelope, and each envelope is stacked in a box like the above ( see figure above ). RFID tags are then stuck to the envelope (paper label) or inserted (non- adhesive plastic card), one tag for each envelope. When the user pushes the box through the scanner, it reads the information stored in the tag for each envelop and display the entire inventory for a single box on the screen. This is a HUGE man hours saver.

RFID ROI Question

100 tags can be identified in 1-2 seconds.

Take a scenario of 10,000 diamonds. In terms of equipment resources using this solution, it will require 2 x MTR units (the tunnel like scanner above), operated by 1 person. In terms of time, it will take approximate 5 hours to complete inventory check procedure. Contrast this to a manual system. For 10,000 diamonds, it will require 20 persons over 3 weeks thereabouts.

That comes up to 15 minutes per diamond vs 5 minutes per 100 diamonds. It’s a great saving in man-hours, no doubt about it.

We built Gold Calculator feature for the goldsmith and jewelers who need flexibility in the way they price their products. Having met jewelers for a number of years now, they share a similar requirement. Almost every jeweler that we have met has a different formula they are using to price their products. And so the case for Gold Calculator feature, which is included in Version 2 of Enterprise Jewelry Software.

The main benefit comes from giving the jeweler the extra edge to customize his unique price formula. Right pricing leads to a profitable business. This pricing formula is then applied to all the products he sells through EJS POS or Invoice modules.

How To Use ?

Let’s take the example of the following gold pricing formula,

( [ { ( FINE_GOLD_BASE x MANUFACT_LOSS } x MARK_UP ] + LABOUR_PRICE ) x UNIT_WEIGHT

You can very easily create a formula like that using the Gold Calculator by clicking on a couple of buttons. The left column buttons are common variables that a jeweler deals with on a daily basis. These variables are:

• Manufacturing loss
• Markup rate
• Labour Price
• Fine Gold Base
• Unit Weight
• Total Weight
• Discount %

The right column are the operators - plus (+), minus (-), divide (/), multiply (x), group ( ‘(’ and ‘)’ ). Use the bracket symbols to group the smaller components of the formula.

Coming back to our example, ( (FINE_GOLD_BASE x MANUFACT_LOSS) x MARK_UP ). Two sets of open / close brackets are used to group operations on individual formula units. The formula unit, FINE_GOLD_BASE x MANUFACT_LOSS is performed first, and its result is then multiplied to the value of MARK_UP.

This is one of the latest addition to EJS, do you think this is useful ?

We added a new category “EJS New” to inform interested parties about new developments and adds on EJS software. And YES, same price. In our efforts to update new developments on the fly, EJS New will contain near real time informs. We will in time disseminate this information to our other channels. So do subscribe to this blog if you not already have, its free anyway.

Back to the new adds on EJS,

• Support for Mettler Toledo Weighing Machine - Mettler Toledo is a leader and global provider of precision instruments. Click a button in EJS and the machine reports exact weighs for your items.
• 2 Versions 1 Software - EJS exist in 2 versions namely Retail (with POS) and Wholesale.
• Multi-Lingual Support - Tagalog, Myanmarsar … more to come. Drop us a note on the comments area if you are looking for other languages.

If you have an EJS wish list, pop it over by email or drop a note on the comments area and we will see what we can do about that.
