Rugged scanners as the name suggests are used in situations when conditions are rough for any other scanner to be used, i.e. if the best possible option that we have is to use it. If the barcodes to be read are at varying distances, like in warehouse inventory, and a barcode scanner is required, there is no better option than using a rugged barcode scanner. It’s generally packed with tough casings and default specifications generally include a drop rating, ingress protection rating from dust, moisture or liquid entries etc.

Rugged barcode scanners are suitable for large and busy warehouses, outdoor environments, manufacturing facilities and any other business that is in harsh, wet and tough environments.
