Barcode scanners capture data from barcodes and transmit it to a computer system, which can then translate and store the information. These scanners come in various types, including handheld, on-counter, 2D imager, fixed mount, cordless, and memory scanners. They are used in point of sale, inventory management, and other applications, improving productivity and accuracy.
Barcode printers are designed to print barcode labels and tags quickly and accurately. They come in different types, such as desktop, industrial, high-performance, and mobile printers, each serving specific markets. These printers use various printing technologies and offer different resolutions, print speeds, and connectivity options to meet diverse business needs.
Mobile computers are electronic devices used to enter or retrieve data via wireless transmission (WLAN or WWAN). They often serve as barcode readers and are employed in various settings, including stores, warehouses, hospitals, and fieldwork. Mobile computers enhance worker productivity by providing real-time access to databases and eliminating redundant data entry steps.
RFID is a technology that uses transponders or tags attached to objects to transmit information wirelessly to interrogators or readers. RFID eliminates the need for manual data collection and offers benefits in inventory management, supply chain tracking, and more. SNA supplies RFID tags and cards and collaborates with RFID solution providers.
Consumables for barcode solutions include labels, tags, and thermal transfer ribbons used in thermal transfer printers. The selection of consumables is crucial for high-quality barcode printing, and using substandard materials can lead to poor printing quality and damage to printer components. SNA offers genuine quality consumables suitable for various applications in industries such as retail, manufacturing, services, and healthcare.
