Especially for large and frequent inventories, industrial scanners can make scanning your objects even faster, easier, and more efficient. Here, we show you how it works and give a recommendation for the best scanner.
As scanners, all smartphones with the Android and iOS operating systems can be used, as well as mobile data terminals (industrial scanners) running Android.
There are slight differences in scanning behavior, speed, available features, and accessories.
Our current recommendation: Zebra TC22 (Wi-Fi) and TC27 (supports mobile/cellular).
More information about the scanner is available here.
The scanner is used like an Android smartphone.
It offers you the option of scanning with the front and rear cameras using an ergonomic button on the side, as well as scanning various types of codes quickly and easily using the integrated reader in the front.
In addition, the devices are water and dust protected and can withstand falls, cold and heat without any problems.
Important:
If you buy your own scanner independently from seventhings, a configuration by us is necessary. Please contact our support if this is the case.
As usual, the seventhings app can be installed directly from the app store on the device and used to the full extent of Android.
Tipp:
If you would like to connect the scanner to an RFID reader, we will show you how to do it here.
