Increase Warehouse Efficiency With Extra-Long-Range Scanners

Learn how to make fast-paced scanning faster and more accurate with extra-long-range scanners…

Before the e-commerce boom, more-than-typical supply chain variability, and a persistent labour shortage, the IT hardware that warehouses had deployed may have been adequate to keep up with demand. But in an era where that demand has grown and many operations have fewer workers than they need, a tech upgrade can help fewer workers accomplish more.

Furthermore, scanners need new functionality to work effectively. Especially as in warehouses stock or products can be stored on high shelves, behind plexiglass or plastic, and at different distances from the warehouse worker that needs a good read. Legacy barcode scanners will not provide all of the functionality required to streamline scanning, reduce wasted movement, and keep operations safe at the new speed of business.

Datalogic have the answer with extra-long-range scanners…

Extra-long-range scanners (XLR) such as the SkorpioX5 XLR, are a practical solution to current warehouse data collection challenges.

XLR functionality allows employees to scan items on a high shelf or in a bin across the warehouse. Eliminating having to expend labour hours walking to items or bringing them to the ground for a scan. Furthermore, if the item isn’t correct, it wastes even more time and labour and delays fulfilment.

A barcode scanner that saves time by accurately scanning at extra-long distances. Even just seconds per scan, can add up to hundreds of labour hours. As well as thousands of pounds of savings each year.
