Barcode Scanner A professional decoding input device. When the customer in the purchase, the guide will ask the use of the barcode scanner environment, there is a reason! Among them, the difference between the barcode scanner used in supermarkets and factories:

One: scanning gun IP level

The IP level is one of the most important safety features of the barcode scanner, which is the enclosure protection level. This group of numbers refers to the lamp shell can ensure the safe operation of the lamp in the corresponding natural environment, and together it is not unsafe to the outside world. The former means that the scanning gun can avoid the invasion of external solid objects or liquids, short circuit and fire will not occur, and then cause trouble; the latter means that the scanning gun can avoid electric shock and ensure the safety of users or unintentional contact with people or animals.

The factory environment is relatively harsh relative to the mall environment. In the process of using the scanning gun, it is likely to encounter the invasion of liquid or other chemical agents, and may also face more serious impact, vibration and fall, 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. Factory scanning guns should choose bar code scanning guns with higher IP grade.

Two: scanning gun scanning performance

The industrial environment is very complex, often scanning work under strong light, sometimes must be operated outdoors, many times long-distance scanning bar codes, sometimes must scan bar codes with relatively high density, ordinary scanning guns cannot meet the special requirements of collecting bar codes 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.

What to choose when buying 4.

1. Ordinary supermarket stores, warehouses, production lines of bar code reading, can choose large real bar code economic durable laser scanning gun.

2. Some places with special use environment, such as large dust, easy corrosion and large temperature difference, are difficult for users to take lightly, so they have to choose a scanning gun with high IP grade.
