How to choose a barcode scanner in the express industry
Now the logistics express industry is developing rapidly, but the daily work of the couriers is repetitive and heavy, and the express barcode scanner is used every day to scan the barcode on the express bill. Therefore, wireless barcode reader can improve the work efficiency of the courier. How to choose express barcode scanner ?
1. Scanning distance
Express delivery uses a handheld scanner to scan the distance of ordinary barcode guns with a long depth of field. It is recommended that the reading of more than 30 cm can be scanned. It is easy to scan to meet the requirements of the express delivery industry.
2. Scanning speed
Due to the large number of express items per day, the scanner must scan at a fast speed. It is best to choose a scanner with a scanning speed of up to 300 times per second to meet the “fast” requirements of the express industry.
3. Equipment price
Due to the large number of outlets in the express delivery industry, scanners are required. Therefore, how to reduce costs when purchasing is also extremely important. Try to choose a cost-effective scanning gun that can meet the “low cost” required by the express industry.
4. Equipment function
Express scanners need to avoid repeated scanning, and general equipment needs self-induction scanning, which is what we call automatic scanning. That is, the scanning gun automatically senses and reads the barcode, and automatically switches to the light-off state when it fails to sense the barcode, which protects the scanning head. This avoids the disadvantage of shortening the service life of the scanning gun when the scanning gun is set to be always on. Meet the demand of “automatic scanning” required by the express industry.
5. Rugged and durable
Courier scanners have to handle a large number of express mails every day, and many times they need to be moved or used outdoors, and they are easy to fall. Therefore, choose a sturdy and drop-resistant scanner as much as possible, which has a longer service life. Like industrial barcode scanners, the quality is better than ordinary handheld barcode scanner, but the price is much more expensive.
For applications like this, I recommend our model XB-M60. Mini portable wireless bluetooth barcode scanner. It comes with a vibration reminder when scanning, comes with a charging cable, and you can customize the Bluetooth name. The resolution of the scanning module is 2500 points. The decoding principle adopted is 1d image decoding. Scanning is more accurate for wrinkled and fuzzy barcodes.
