With the growing demand for data capture in retail operations, this industry often seeks reliable, low-cost and mobile POS (point of service) scanners and wireless handheld computer devices with imaging capabilities.
Radio Frequency Tagging: This technology is increasingly being used to replace many retail management tasks which used to be preformed manually. Ideal in storeroom and inventory functions, linear imagers and long-range laser scanners may be used for various store-setups for reliable inventory control. RF tagging also can be placed around the doors to stockrooms , adjusting inventory in real time , with the automatic reading of product tags as they enter the store.
Linear Imagers: Used in display management and price validation, this scanning technology enables management to access product information in real time, improving overall store management and customer service. Linear Imaging is also used in Point of Service (POS) stations to speed up operations in sales and provide better service.
