Hand-Held
|
We
have worked with a few different brands and quality
levels. We like the heavy-duty, industrial type hand guns . . . that put
out an exceptionally strong laser.
Advantages:
|
|
Other
Considerations:
-
Does tie up
one hand.
-
Fatigue from
holding the gun for long periods. We recommend rotating
personnel anyway, to ensure the person running the scanner is alert.
-
You do not
have to aim and hit each barcode, and may have to turn either the gun,
or the product, to enable the laser to cross the code.
Counter
These
mount flush into the table and you pass items over them (grocery store
style).
Advantages:
- Hands free operation.
- Use two hands to move product quickly.
- Criss-cross grid of light lasers will
cross a moving barcode without having to turn the product.
Other Considerations:
- Need to scan from one container into another, which means touching each item.
- Super bright light in the packing room (7ft ceiling with lots of shop lights, for
example) can lessen the scanner effectiveness.
Combination (360 Degree)
Combination
of a counter scanner with a vertical scanner next to it.
Advantages:
- Picks up the bar code no matter (almost) where it is.
-
Hands free operation.
- Use two hands to move product quickly.
- Faster operation due to less time presenting the bar code to the scanner or aiming the
gun at the bar code.
Other Considerations:
- More expensive, about $800 more than our
top of the line hand scanner.
Pedestal
Advantages:
- Same as the counter scanner.
Other Considerations:
- Same as the counter scanner.
