Barcode scanner usage requirements

The Barcode scanner is a common automatic identification device and is widely used in logistics, express delivery, and production industries. Different industries have slightly different requirements for the use of barcode scanners, which are introduced in detail below:

1. Logistics industry: Logistics industry refers to the industry whose main activities are the storage, transportation, and distribution of items in the logistics network.
The logistics industry's requirements for the use of barcode scanners are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) Quickly read barcodes: The logistics industry’s requirement for barcode scanners is to quickly read barcodes to improve logistics efficiency and accuracy. In logistics, the barcode attached to the package needs to be quickly read by the scanner to confirm the package information and proceed to the next step. Therefore, the barcode scanner needs to have the characteristics of high-speed reading and high accuracy.
(2) Adapt to various environments: The operating environment of the logistics industry is complex and changeable, and barcode scanners need to be able to adapt to various environments, including indoors, and outdoors, light intensity changes, temperature changes, etc. At the same time, barcode scanners need to be waterproof, dustproof, and impact-resistant to ensure that they can work normally in harsh environments.
(3) Support multiple barcode formats: The logistics industry needs to scan various types of barcodes, such as one-dimensional codes, two-dimensional codes, etc. Therefore, barcode scanners must support multiple barcode formats to meet different business needs.
2. Express delivery industry: The express delivery industry refers to the industry that transports items and services in a fast, accurate, and safe manner.
The express delivery industry’s requirements for the use of barcode scanners are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) High-speed barcode reading: The express industry’s requirement for barcode scanners is also to scan barcodes to improve the processing efficiency and accuracy of the express delivery business. Couriers need to quickly scan the barcode on the express package to confirm the delivery information and proceed with the next step of processing. Therefore, the barcode scanner needs to have the characteristics of high-speed reading and high accuracy.
(2) Portable and easy to operate: The express delivery industry requires barcode scanners to be portable and easy to operate so that they can be used by couriers during the express delivery process. Couriers need to use barcode scanners outdoors, in cars, and in other environments. Therefore, barcode scanners need to be lightweight, easy to carry, simple to operate, and easy to use.
(3) Support multiple barcode formats: The express delivery industry needs to scan various types of barcodes, such as one-dimensional codes, two-dimensional codes, etc. Therefore, barcode scanners must support multiple barcode formats to meet different business needs.
3. Production industry: The production industry refers to the industry with processing and manufacturing as its main activities.
The requirements for the use of barcode scanners in the production industry are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) High-speed barcode reading: The production industry’s requirement for barcode scanners is also to scan barcodes to improve production efficiency and accuracy. The barcodes on the production line need to be quickly read by the scanner to confirm the product information and proceed with the next step of processing. Therefore, the barcode scanner needs to have the characteristics of high-speed reading and high accuracy.
(2) Support multiple barcode formats: The production industry needs to scan various barcodes. Therefore, barcode scanners need to support multiple barcode formats to meet the needs of processing and manufacturing.
