Let's face it, warehouse and distribution environments require a data capture device that can withstand even the toughest of conditions. Whether it's hazardous areas, ambient or frozen environments, or just the ability to withstand the rough and tumble of a warehouse, Barcode-IT can supply a device to fit your requirements. 

 

The traditional, handheld mobile terminal with pistol grip is still a firm favourite within many manufacturing and distribution settings. Able to scan at both extended and close range, one device can be used throughout the logistics process for different tasks, meaning that you can take advantage of economies of scale and devices are interchangeable between different areas of the business. With many devices now featuring larger touch screens, as well as a keyboard, these units offer something for every operator.

All of the devices we recommend are available with manufacturer extended warranty contracts, that comprehensively cover your units, even in the case of accidental damage, and ensure that they are repaired and returned within a few days, to minimise downtime. Devices with a warranty contract in place are also eligible for Android OS updates, within the capabilities of the units themselves.

Looking to upgrade to new data capture devices, but unsure whether your existing software can be used with the Android OS used on the majority of modern devices? No problem. We work alongside companies like Ivanti, who have produced sophisticated software products that ensure Android migration is seamless and brings the mobile web interface forward to leverage the touchscreen experiences your employees expect on Android. Using Velocity Browser, powered by Wavelink, there's no need for middleware between your mobile devices and your host. Implementation is simple and fast.

PDA MOBILE DEVICES

They may look like mobile phones, but they're far more rugged and purpose built for harsh warehouse and distribution environments. Running Android OS, operators enjoy the familiar, touch screen interface and large, graphic display of a mobile phone, helping them easily navigate through tasks to complete their work. Suitable for short and medium distance scanning, PDA devices can be easily carried around the warehouse, either using the handstrap or a shoulder strap. Most models are available in a range of screen sizes, making smaller PDA devices ideal to pair with ring scanners for a wearable scanning solution.

So why choose a PDA style device over a traditional pistol grip gun? A larger screen size enables operators to see everything they need to on one screen and their similarities to mobile phones, including the look and feel of the Android operating system seen on screen, give operators a familiar user experience, making adoption faster. If keyboard entry is required, this can be achieved using a pop-up keyboard, configured to only show the button required. Perfect for tasks that require a signature, like POD, the high quality camera can record damaged deliveries or returned goods.

They might look like something out of a science fiction film, but wearable scanners are becoming more commonplace within warehouses. Users get all the functionality of a mobile computer but keep their hands free to perform order picking and other warehouse tasks. Mounted on the head, hand or wrist, these scanning devices link with tablets or mobile computers via Bluetooth to provide users with the ultimate operational experience and improve productivity and efficiency.

The latest advancements in ring scanners ensure that operator comfort is at the forefront. Ring scanners are now available in one and two-fingered options and are small enough that their weight isn't a hinderence to operators. Offering diversity in how they can be used, ring scanners can be worn on a finger, the back of a hand or on a lanyard.  Single-sided trigger models accommodate gloves and double trigger models lets workers switch hands on the fly. You can count on reliable operation despite drops, bumps, dust and even a high-pressure hose down due to their rugged design and the choice of multiple scan engine options allow you to choose the imager that best matches your scanning and aimer requirements, delivering first time capture of even damaged, dirty and poorly printed 1D/2D barcodes.

Looking to take advantage of the latest hands free technology? Head mounted displays are now a realistic option for the warehouse. Paired with a ring scanner, head mounted displays allow you to project the information workers need right into their real-time field of view, freeing hands and eyes to remain on task.

Mobile or tethered? Imager or scanner? 1D or 2D barcode capabilities? Handheld or fixed position? The choice of barcode scanners on the market can make deciding on the right model for your application a little confusing. Barcodes come in all different types, able to contain different types and amounts of data, so choosing the right barcode and therefore the right barcode scanner can be quite complicated. At Barcode-IT, we will match our recommendation to your needs, so that you end up with the right scanner at the right price.
