How to purchase handheld terminals?

There are many kinds of handheld terminals on the market, with different performance, specifications, parameters and prices. When purchasing, they are often dazzled and do not know how to purchase them. As a professional hand-held terminal practitioners, I would like to give you some suggestions when purchasing handheld terminals

1. Price

When choosing the handheld terminal, its price is a problem that should be concerned about. Because of the different configuration and function of handheld terminal, the price will be very different. Therefore, we should pay attention to the performance price ratio of the products when purchasing the handheld terminal, so as to meet the requirements of the application system and the lower price as the purchase object.

2. Operating environment and interface requirements

The interface capability of handheld terminal is another important index to evaluate its function, and it is also a key consideration when choosing handheld terminal. When purchasing, users should first define the operating environment and interface mode of the original system, and then select the handheld terminal that can match the operating environment and interface mode of the original system.

3. Scope of application

Users should choose different handheld terminals according to their own conditions. If the user uses the handheld terminal in a relatively large and three-dimensional warehouse, because some items are stored in a higher position and are far away from the operator, we should choose the handheld terminal with large scanning depth, long reading distance and high first reading rate. For the users of small and medium-sized warehouses, the requirements in this respect are not very high, so some collectors with complete functions and easy operation can be selected. For users to purchase handheld terminals, the important point is "enough", that is, to buy what is suitable for their own needs, rather than blindly buy expensive and powerful acquisition system.

4. Decoding range

Decoding range is an important index to select handheld terminal. Each user has its own range of bar code system. Most handheld terminals can identify ean code, UPC code and other several or even more than a dozen different code systems, but there are great differences.

In the application of logistics enterprises, we should consider ean 128 code, 39 code, kudeba code, etc. Therefore, users should fully consider the coding range of their practical application when purchasing to select the appropriate products.

5. Requirements for first reading rate

The first reading rate is a comprehensive index of data handheld terminal, which is related to the printing quality of barcode symbol, the design of decoder and the performance of scanner. The higher the first reading rate is, the more time will be saved, but correspondingly, the price will be higher than other handheld terminals. In the process of goods inventory, barcode symbols can be manually controlled and scanned repeatedly with handheld terminals. Therefore, the requirement of first reading rate is not strict, it is just a measure of work efficiency.

But in the automatic sorting system, the first reading rate is very high. Of course, the higher the first reading rate of the handheld terminal, it will inevitably lead to the increase of the bit error rate. Therefore, users should purchase products that meet the system requirements according to their actual situation and economic ability when selecting products, and balance the first reading rate and bit error rate.
