Why should we distinguish between factory scanning guns and supermarket scanning guns?

Release Time:2020-07-10

Because of the three differences between industrial scanning guns and commercial scanning guns, commercial bar code scanning guns are mainly used: CCD scanning guns, laser handheld scanning guns and full-angle laser scanning guns.

One: scanning gun IP level is different

First popularize what is IP.

IP level is one of the important safety performance of electrical products, often called enclosure protection level. This group of figures refers to the lamp shell to ensure that the lamp works safely in the corresponding natural environment, while not being unsafe to the outside world.

The former refers to the scanning gun can prevent the invasion of solid objects or liquids from the outside world, and will not produce short circuit and fire, thus causing accidents; the latter refers to the scanning gun can prevent electric shock and ensure the safety of users or unintentional contact with people or animals.

There are many factors that affect the natural environment on electrical safety, such as shock vibration, corrosion, explosion, temperature difference, etc., but the most common ones are: solid objects: people, animals, tools and dust, etc.; liquid: rain, water spray and immersion.

If you think about the industrial environment and the supermarket environment, you will know that the industrial environment is relatively harsh compared to the commercial environment. In the process of using the scanning gun, it is likely to encounter liquid intrusion, more serious impact and vibration, a large amount of dust and other factors. Therefore, industrial scanning guns usually have an industrial grade assessment to determine the stability and reliability of the scanning gun. No one wants to buy a scanning gun and fail all day long, delaying normal production.

On the contrary, the requirements of the super environment for the IP level of the scanning gun are greatly reduced.

Two: different scanning gun scanning performance

The environment of industrial application is very complex, sometimes must scan bar code under strong light, sometimes must be operated outdoors, sometimes must scan bar code at a long distance, sometimes must scan bar code with relatively high density, these factors cause ordinary scanning gun can not meet the special requirements of bar code collection in industrial environment. The most common bar code in Shangchao is nothing more than EAN-13 code. Many product bar codes are printed. The bar code quality is very good and it is easy to scan. There are many types of scanning guns, but no matter which type of scanning gun, it can generally be scanned.

Three: scanning gun price is different

Industrial scanning guns are usually resistant to falling, dustproof and waterproof, so the price is also high. Although Shang Chao's scanning guns also have a certain IP rating, the general rating of the industrial rating is also low for cost considerations. You can't use the scanning gun in the supermarket to throw maliciously or soak in water, so the scanning gun in the supermarket generally ranges from several hundred to more than 1,000, which is much lower than that in the industry.

Although the scanning gun used in the factory and the scanning gun used in the supermarket are different, the ultimate goal is to better scan and collect the barcode. It's just that different scanning guns are used for different environmental needs. Then it leads to another interesting question, whether the scanning gun used by the merchant can not scan the bar code, but the scanning gun used by the industrial industry can scan it. The answer is no.
