Choosing hardware does not start with hardware. It starts with your object.
Metal or cardboard, one piece or a whole pallet, standing still or moving: that decides what you need. The equipment follows from it. Below, everything is grouped by how you read, so you get from your own situation to the setup and not the other way around.
Mobile reading
You go to the object. For rounds, searching and work on the floor.
Scan stations
The object comes to the reader, inside a shielded space. In order from small to large.
Fixed reading points
Permanently installed, for doorways and for pallets.
Labels and printing
The label decides whether the rest works. This is the cheapest component and the most important choice.
Where we stand on this
Wel
- We supply labels, readers, software and the integration, so we have nothing to talk up
- We say so when a barcode is enough in your case
- We test the label choice on your material before anything is rolled out
- What we have not measured, we do not present as a measurement
Niet
- Recommend a brand because we make margin on it
- Send a specification sheet as the answer to a process question
- Promise read ranges without having seen your material
- Sell hardware to a process that is not ready for it
Most hardware questions are really process questions. Someone asking which reader they need usually wants to know where in their flow the read moment belongs. That is the conversation we would rather have, and the equipment follows from it by itself.
