  • Rugged handheld scanners, known in the industry as rugged mobile computers, are used for critical warehouse operations, such as receiving, order picking, and put-away. The form of rugged scanners has not fundamentally changed since it was introduced to replace pen and clipboard. Warehouses have extracted the maximum available efficiency increases available through today’s handheld rugged scanners, but new operational challenges require new ways to further increase productivity and accuracy. The “line of sight” rugged handheld scanner concept described in this article is designed to enhance the user’s efficiency by eliminating non-value-added wrist motions.
