Handheld barcode scanners allow barcode labels to be read via a reader which can be held in one hand. These scanners can be hands-free, wearable, rugged, enabling you to increase throughput at reference points. Reference points can be cash tills, warehouses people or any asset reference point. Handheld barcode scanners enable tracking of inventory and visibility into a supply chain.

Handheld barcode scanners can alleviate the congestion issues and improve customer service.

Warehouse productivity can be greatly improved with barcode technology. Warehouse manager's typical objectives, reducing the overall cost of distributing goods. Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) bar-code symbologies have moved the benefits available to a new level. It is possible to encode more data onto 2D barcode labels. Data can then include more than identification, it could include sell by date and intended destination.

Rugged Devices

Data can be captured with handheld scanners that are rugged. Most handheld Barcode Scanners are like a handgun, with a grip and a trigger to start a scan. Some scanners can incorporated in to PDA or other handheld device. The scanners have data collection software which can integrate to an enterprise database to store and reference the data collection process.

Types Of Scanner

CCD barcode scanners are low cost and are suitable for simple low volume applications. Handheld barcode laser scanners are the most commonly type of barcode scanners. Barcode laser scanners enable greater canning distance scanning and read barcodes quickly. Handheld barcode scanners and software can improve supply chain performance and remove bottlenecks if the technology is implemented in a considered manner.

DataScope Markets

Datascope handheld solutions can be utilised in numerous market sectors.

Railway Solutions

Applications for the Rail Industry have been developed on mobile handheld devices to enable wireless communication and data capture in remote locations. Track side data can be collected and information can be looked up from a central database including competencies and work plans. Contractors can monitor assets and employees and utilised GPS or mapPoint to identify locations accurately and quickly. Rugged devices can be supplied to ensure the hardware can withstand the rigors of the rail industry.

Construction Solutions

Handheld devices allow data to be captured at a construction site level and integrated with a backend database. Project management mobile solutions can ensure project data is available in real time remotely. Safety information can be collected on PDA devices and the central database referenced for information key to a construction site.

Logistics

Hand held barcode readers can capture data in a logistics and warehousing environment. Handheld barcode scanners can allow assets to be tracked through the supply chain using handheld barcode software. Wireless handheld's can allow real time visibility on asset location, condition etc. Mobile RFID readers and RFID scanners allow RFID tags to be read and enable an asset to be tracked.

Customised Solutions

Data can be accessed from anywhere.

Truly versatile solutions.
