Inherent to the successful operation of the system was barcode technology - a fast, accurate and reliable technology which promised to significantly reduce the time required to maintain precise location control for hundreds of thousands of objects. It was essentially designed to provide MV with a system to capture and maintain 100% inventory control over its cultural collections and sections of the Natural Sciences. MvCIS was developed completely in-house and works with the Museum's central collection database KE EMu. The Cassiopeia Pocket PCs used by Museum Victoria (MV) were purchased specifically for use with the Collection Inventory System (MvCIS).
