barcoding in the cold

 

Can your barcoding and mobile computing devices handle the most harsh cold storage challenges?

Cold storage, warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing operations present challenges for collecting inventory data that other environments do not experience. One underestimated issue is the additional insulation in a cold storage facility that can interfere with wireless communications because it absorbs radio waves. Cold conditions also affect how standard battery technologies release energy and remain charged. Other challenges include:

  • Cold air and frost
  • Blast freezers and severe cold
  • Coats, hats and gloves
