Hand Held Portable Bar Code Readers and Scanners

PRODUCTS

AIP offers hand held portable bar code readers and scanners, data collectors, PDAs, and bar code reader device programming software and services for warehousing and inventory, asset tracking, field service tracking, and more.

Portable data collectors (also called PDT's, and portable data terminals) with integrated hand held bar code scanners or readers, collect data and information in remote and off-site locations. Hand held portable data collection devices are used when information at various locations must be collected and it is either too costly, error prone, or difficult to perform at or near a host computer. Some examples of tracking applications that require the use of mobile hand held PDT data collection devices include warehousing and inventory, asset tracking, and field service.

	Hand held PDT's can be custom configured and programmed for various applications but the most common configuration is as follows: The main display menu will provide options to choose from. When a selection is made usually the first prompt will be USER (who is doing the scan), followed by LOCATION (where is the scan occurring), and finally ITEM (which item is being scanned). If it is an inventory application the user is also prompted for QUANTITY (the number of items).
The data can be entered via the keypad or by scanning (reading) bar codes. If the system and PDT are wireless RF (radio frequency), the system is updated instantly in real-time. However, most applications work well with "batch" data collection and "batch" PDT's: after all necessary data and information is collected and scanned, the data is later uploaded into the host computer, which updates the tracking software. The uploaded files can be transferred into an ASCII file, Excel spreadsheet, or directly into a tracking software package.
	Batch PDT kits start at $695, and offer various memory options. RF (real-time), Bluetooth, and Windows CE.NET handheld devices are also available.

AIP handles a full line of PDT's from Hand Held Products, Metrologic, and Symbol. To see which hand held device is the best fit for your application, please contact George Righter today:
