In collaboration with Barcodes, Inc. and Zebra, VAXSYS Technologies, Inc. introduced the COVID-19 Vaccination Enrollment and Verification System. The System provides a current record of COVID-19 vaccinations quickly, accurately and securely.

This allows vaccination status to be verified, whenever and wherever required. It’s simple and anonymous.

To verify vaccination status, download the mobile app to any Android handheld device with 2D barcode reading capability. The application decrypts the barcode on the VAXSYS Card to generate an anonymous, immediate, level-1 proof of COVID-19 vaccination, without requiring any additional personal, biographic or biometric information from the holder.

Enrollment is mobile, accurate, and paper-free. Organizations can print and issue durable, legible vaccine credentials on secure plastic VAXSYS Cards that contain an encrypted, fraud-resistant 2D barcode.

The System can be operated in stand-alone mode, or integrated into a user database at the option of the user.

“Because all Barcodes, Inc./VAXSYS System components are mobile, the enrollment and card printing can quickly be set up anywhere in any size of facility, even in a vehicle; but can also be readily expanded to handle all those being vaccinated.”

Moshe Meppen, CEO of VAXSYS Technologies, Inc.

The complete Barcodes, Inc./VAXSYS System, including mobile computers containing barcode scanners, card printers, cards, and all necessary software, can be configured to support any specific user requirements, including those of businesses, universities, sports venues, and all other places with public access. The vaccination card can be printed with the name or logo of the business, university or sports team as well.

The System provides a low-cost, paperless, and contact-free enrollment at COVID-19 vaccination centers. With the help of the mobile app, anonymous screening then allows businesses and other entities to safely reopen much sooner.

“We are excited to partner with VAXSYS Technologies to assist in providing a credential solution that supplies consumers with a more durable, portable, and secure vaccination card. With mandates developing across the country, and vaccine credentials becoming more and more required for places such as sports, restaurants, concert venues, schools, universities, and colleges, the need for a more efficient solution has never been more evident. As North America’s leading provider of barcode, mobile computing, and RFID solutions, we are well equipped to help implement this vital solution.”

Dan Nettesheim, Chief Executive Officer of Barcodes, Inc.

Back to Normal with Simple, Secure Vaccination Enrollment

Based in Calabasas, California, VAXSYS Technologies was founded by biometric and identification industry professionals, dedicated to helping society use simple and secure vaccination enrollment and screening technologies to help return us back to normal.

By combining best-in-class ID scanning and verification capabilities, with our collective experience servicing large and complex government entities, VAXSYS provides a full suite of applications that enable the end-to-end usage of vaccination data by vaccinators, and by the general public who need to screen people entering buildings or businesses.

With Coronavirus vaccine administration in full swing, keeping on track with your distribution timeline is an essential but vulnerable process. It can be difficult and stressful to monitor and track the vaccines as they travel through the supply chain from production and shipping to pharmacy and patients. With the added concern of volatile vaccine expiration, it is crucial that you have access to your HIS software at a moment’s notice through your mobile device.

Barcodes, Inc.’s Mobile COVID-19 tracking solution captures and registers person’s ID card in order to track each patient and their testing results. Information is stored centrally generating local, statewide and even global heat maps in real-time.

What are the Benefits of the Mobile COVID-19 Tracking Solution?

In a time when healthcare and local government facilities are limited, a mobile COVID-19 tracking solution allows an organization to setup a remote COVID-19 testing site with limited resources and equipment. Check out the benefits of a mobile COVID-19 tracking solution:

• Safe: Allows technicians to stay at a safe distance as the ID card is scanned directly from the patient’s hand
• Cloud Solution: Information is centrally stored on the cloud for easy deployment
• Fast: The system reads an ID card in 4 seconds and creates the account
• Real-time Tracking: Using our Heat Map function, executives have access to heat maps to better understand problematic locations and issues in real-time, which allows adjusting treatment and personnel priorities faster
• Face Image: The face image from the ID card is cropped o­ff for later account visual verification. There is a future option to add Face Recognition that will compare the account image to a live picture of the patient

How Does the Mobile COVID-19 Tracking Solution Work?

The remote COVID-19 test site solution is ideal for healthcare and government organizations who have limited facilities to operate and test patients. Below is the framework on how the solution works:

• Technician scans the ID card using a Honeywell CT60 mobile computer. The COVID-19 tracking software will then extract the patient information directly from the image using our advanced engine
• The technician then verifies the information is correct and can edit each field if necessary
• System will check for duplicate accounts
• Technician records patient temperature and adds email, phone and notes (if required)
• Information is sent to our central database hosted on the Microsoft Azure Platform
• Technician enters pertinent virus tracking information for each patient, such as status (pending, negative, positive, inconclusive), temperature and notes (if required)
• If there is a visit history the system will pull the information from the database if needed
• The Honeywell CT60 mobile computer will then print crucial patient information directly to a nearby Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Honeywell RP4e mobile printer
• The printer will create a label that is be taped onto the test vial
• In parallel the patient information is sent to our cloud data base and an account is created

It’s important to note that once sent, the information is not stored on the mobile device for patient safety and security. The backend database is easily searchable and is centrally administered. Each location, area, state or country can have its personalized view. Only manager level and up can access the database with our secure access tiers.

What Do You Need for a Mobile COVID-19 Tracking Solution Work?

While all testing sites and equipment are different, here is a list of items required to successfully operate a mobile COVID-19 tracking solution:

• COVID-19 Tracking Software
• Honeywell CT60 mobile computer
• Honeywell RP4e mobile printer
• Barcode labels or, specifically, test tube labels
• Optional:
  • Mobile Carts
  • PPE Equipment

To stop the spread of COVID-19, businesses are moving to a remote work from home model. When that’s not possible and your employees need to be at work because you offer an essential critical service, you may be required to identify those employees as essential and authorized to work.

Why Choose an Essential Employee ID Card?

A letter identifying the employee as essential and allowed to work may meet the requirements, but a piece of paper is easy to lose, tear, or smudge with dirt or water. Durable PVC Essential Employee ID cards are made for daily use.

Essential employee ID badge backers (in vertical or horizontal) are easily paired with your existing employee ID – the larger sized badges hang below a standard CR80 size card so the bright red “ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEE” text is clearly visible. This is a good option for employees who already have an ID badge to display.

If you don’t already have an employee ID badge to pair the new card with, these vertical or horizontal Essential Employee cards have eye-catching red text naming the employee essential and necessary for work.

How to Customize Your Essential Employee ID Cards

After your order has been placed, a Customer Satisfaction rep will contact you to get your business information. Customizable text fields for these cards:

• Company Name
• Company Phone Number
• Company Address (Line 1 & 2)

New social distancing guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our communities are recommending people should stay at least six feet apart and avoid crowds. Easily communicate changes in your hours to reduce crowds and mark six-foot distances for payment lines with these new AirTrack Stop the Spread mats and signs.

New Stop the Spread Signage

Maintain order in your grocery or convenience store payment lines with new floor mats. These eye-catching signs are easier for customers to spot compared to tape marks on the floor and come in three styles:

• Red sign, 12” x 4”, with white “WAIT HERE” text (packs of 200, 500, 1000, or 2000)
• Black footprint sign, 12” x 18”, with yellow “STAND HERE” text (packs of 200, 500, 1000, or 2000)
• Blue circle sign, 12”, with yellow “PLEASE MAINTAIN 6 FEET OF SEPARATION” text (packs of 200, 500, 1000, or 2000)

New Stop the Spread Window Signs

In addition to standing six feet apart, many stores are changing their hours and creating new shopping hours for elderly customers. These new window signs help customers know the new policies:

• “OUR HOURS HAVE CHANGED” signs in with red text to draw attention to newly posted hours (packs of 200, 500, 1000, 2000)
• “NEW HOURS OF OPERATION” signs with hours for seniors & public (packs of 200, 500, 1000, 2000)

To Our Barcodes, Inc. Customers and Communities:

Multiple state governments have enacted ‘stay at home’ orders to curb the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. This means all residents are mandated to ‘remain at home’ and only essential businesses may remain open to provide critical services. Under these orders, residents of the states must remain in their homes except as needed to maintain continuity of operations in 16 specific critical infrastructure sectors. Two of those critical infrastructure sectors, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, are the information technology and transportation & logistics sectors.

Barcodes, Inc. plays a vital role in the information technology and logistics sectors and in serving the supply chain in this unprecedented time of need. Therefore, our warehouses and support centers across the country will remain open and operational and our field services technicians will remain available to continue to serve our customers in fulfilling the critical technology needs of the nation’s federal, state and local governments, healthcare facilities, and education, industrial and financial services sectors.

We currently have large stocks of finished goods are closely coordinating with our suppliers and logistics partners to ensure prompt service. This will enable us to continue to serve our valued customers as we all work together to support the supply chain and critical industries in the U.S. and Canada.

We continue to implement strict precautionary measures in all our logistics and integration centers, in accordance with government and public health requirements, to reduce risk for colleagues who are performing their duties.

If you have questions, please contact your Barcodes, Inc. sales representative or contact Barcodes, Inc. at 1-800-351-9962.

We value your business and will continue to do everything we can to provide the best possible service to all our customers during these exceptionally challenging times.
