Scanners for Inventory

Aug 13, 2009 8 Replies

My company is looking into buying new scanners for inventory. Currently when we do inventory we use Falcon PT scanners. These scanners are outdated and continually have problems. I am wondering if anyone knows of newer scanners that are reliable and work well with RMS.



If anyone has any suggestions, please pass them my way!



Thanks,



Erin


Hi Erin,

There are lots of scanners out there, What is it you want them to do? just for inventory or do you want to be able to create PO's with them and do inventory. or?

Thanks

Hi Maurice,

We will only need the scanner for inventory. Right now our scanner is able to scan merchandise in large bulks and upload it to our PC. We review the files and alter it before uploading the new inventory counts to RMS. We would like something similar, maybe a little more high tech with a large LCD screen, and something that doesn't break every other inventory. We would like to have 4 scanners, but I guess this is all dependent upon price.

Thanks for your help,

Er> Hi Erin,

We use the Optimus-R there are 2 versions of the optimus the regualr version and the ruggedized version(-R). its a laser batch scanner and we rent them out or sell them when a customer requests. Not sure how large of screen you are looking for but the optimus has a 2-3 inch wide x 1.5 inch tall screen. the test in the screen also can be set to different sizes as well.

Most of the larger screens then this you are moving into a windows mobile device. Any questions let me know

Depending on your budget, we recommend using our mobile inventory software that integrates directly with RMS and works with most Windows Mobile devices. We have quite a few different mobile computers ranging in price, so drop me a line if you want more information!

Hey Erin,

We also used Falc> Hi Maurice,

We are using the Optimus as one of our scanner too. The only thing I do not like about it is the low beep volume. It is hard to hear scans in a noisy environment and is not adjustable, nor does it have a headphone jack. It is fast & reliable, a good scanner for the price.
