NDC Translator - Software that enables any barcode scanner to produced the 11-digit NDC number from the actual medication barcode.
Since using NDC Translator, we have noticed a large improvement in the standardization of NDC codes in our current bedside solution. We also use RoboCheck to improve the efficiency of checking and to reduce errors in items being dispensed to the floor.

Creating hospital drug databases is a high maintenance, endlessless project. NDC Translator can drastically reduce this workload by virtually eliminating the process of barcode association files. The software is a simple, inexpensive, and easy to deploy solution. This patented technology is used in hospitals and retail pharmacies across the country. We estimate that billions of medications are scanned using our technology each year.
NDC Translator software provides the user with the actual 11 digit NDC number of the medication that is being scanned. NDC Translator interprets, parses, and converts the data in the barcode to the 11 digit NDC number. It seamlessly works with any application; ultimately eliminating the need for maintaining drug dictionaries and barcode linking files.
