Frequently Asked Questions
What technologies are barcode scanners classified into?
Barcode scanners are mainly divided into two types of technology: laser scanners and imager scanners. Laser scanners use laser technology to capture barcodes, whereas an imager scanner uses camera technology. In general, laser technology is more robust and larger reading distances can be overcome. Today, imager technology is very sophisticated and equally robust and powerful.
For which areas can you use a barcode scanner?
A barcode scanner can be used in several areas, such as in the office and administration, in retail, in the medical and healthcare sector, in industry and in warehouse logistics. No matter what you need a scanner for, you will find it with us.
What do I have to pay attention to when buying a barcode scanner?
Which barcode scanner is right for you depends on many factors, such as the task you want to perform. Therefore, be clear about what the scanner is intended to do. If you would like advice on which scanner is best for your needs, contact us. We are happy to help.
Create a transparent inventory with a barcode scanner
A barcode scanner works quite easily. It records the information contained behind a specially encoded barcode. The barcode is encoded once at the beginning of a product's life cycle. Software creates a barcode/barcode from the unique product information. This is then printed on a label and attached to the product as an ID. This is the first step towards transparency of the inventory.
Ideally, the barcode is applied exactly when the product is produced. In order to track this process seamlessly, those responsible for warehousing receive a barcode scanner. For example, you can find this in a hardware store to make it easier to scan larger components at the checkout area. The barcode is scanned here one last time and is given the “sold” label internally. On the other hand, there is now a scanner variant where customers scan their products at self-scan checkouts and then pay. Scanning can also ensure, for example, that a message is sent when the goods in this product group are running out, or that an automated order is sent. There are many logistical paths that need to be taken between the beginning of the product's life with a barcode and the end with the sale of the product. The barcode is recorded at every important logistical station with a barcode scanner to keep the flow of goods transparent. Goods that leave one warehouse or arrive in another warehouse are scanned with the barcode scanner. This documents where the product is located.
Barcode scanner: Another practical example:
You order a product online. You will now receive information about the location and status of the product at regular intervals.
✓ The product has been prepared for shipping.
✓ The product was handed over to the postal service provider.
✓ The product is in delivery mode.
✓ The product has been delivered.
Behind each of these messages is not a message from the person who took the product to the next logistics stage, but rather: a barcode. Every time a barcode scanner scans the product and usually takes it one step further, there is a message to the customer - automated and in such a way that no additional work is created. This not only helps to document the route of the goods, but also to ensure efficient customer service.
