Hands-Free Barcode Label Scanning

Hands-free barcode label scanning solution

Hands-free image-based barcode readers make order picking and packing faster, easier, and safer for workers.

Hands-free barcode reading solutions enable operators to scan packages without picking up and putting down a handheld reader. Made up of Dataman barcode readers these solutions enable workers to process more packages per day due to ease of use, high read rates, and ergonomic safety.

Typical application examples

  • Packing bench SKU verification
  • Packing bench order verification
  • Inbound – courier parcel drop off auto-receive
  • Outbound – SKU/order case verification at point of palletising
  • Outbound – SKU/order case verification at point of loading

Main benefits

  • Maximised productivity and throughput
  • Enhanced safety, ergonomics, and user experience
  • Easy installation and deployment with flexible communication

Key Features

Maximum productivity and throughput

Hands-free barcode reading gives operators the freedom to read barcodes on packages more quickly, without the extra time required to use a handheld scanner. This allows them to be more productive and process more parcels per day. Customers have decreased manual package processing times by 60% with hands-free scanning.

Enhanced safety, ergonomics, and user experience

Operators can scan packages in one fluid motion by aiming in the correct position to capture the barcode. Hands-free scanning is a safer, more ergonomic method that reduces the repetitive motion that can result in workplace injuries . Companies have seen associate safety risks decrease nearly 50% with the hands-free method.

Easy installation and deployment

Hands-free barcode readers can be mounted and placed overhead in any area of your facility. Once installed, they are easy to maintain and avoid wear and tear since they are not being repeatedly handled.
