One: the scanner IP level is different

First of all, first popularize what is IP.IP grade is one of the important safety performance of electrical products, often called the shell protection grade. This group of numbers means that the lamp housing can ensure that the lamps work safely in the corresponding natural environment, and at the same time do not produce the outside world. Safety. The former means that the scanner can prevent the intrusion of solid matter or liquid from the outside, and will not cause a short circuit or fire, resulting in an accident. The latter means that the scanner can prevent electric shock and ensure the safety of the user or the unintentional person or animal. There are many factors affecting electrical safety in the natural environment, such as shock vibration, corrosion, explosion, temperature difference, etc., but the most common are: solid objects: people, animals, tools and dust; liquid: rain, water spray and water soaking, etc. Invasion. Everyone thinks about the industrial environment and the supermarket environment. The industrial environment is relatively harsh compared to the commercial environment. During the process of using the scanning gun, it is very likely to encounter liquid intrusion, severe shock vibration, and a large number of Factors such as dust. Therefore, industrial scanners usually have an industrial rating to determine the stability and reliability of the scanner. No one wants to buy a scanner and it will fail all day, delaying normal production. On the contrary, the requirements of the commercial super environment for the IP level of the scanner are greatly reduced.

Two: the scanning gun scanning performance is different

The environment for industrial applications is complex. Sometimes it is necessary to scan the bar code under strong light. Sometimes it must be operated outdoors. Sometimes it is necessary to scan the bar code from a distance. Sometimes it is necessary to scan the bar code for density comparison. These various factors cause the ordinary scanner. Can not meet the special requirements of collecting barcodes in industrial environments. The most common barcode of Shangchao is nothing more than EAN-13 code. Many product barcodes are printed. The barcode quality is very good. It is easy to scan. There are many types of scanners, but no matter which sorting scanner, it is generally It can be scanned.

Three: the difference in the price of the scanner

Industrial scanners are generally resistant to falling, dust, and water, so the price is high. Although Shangchao's scanners also have a certain IP rating, the industry rating is generally low for cost considerations. You can't take a malicious shot in the supermarket's scanner, or go to soak in water, so the supermarket's scanners range from a few hundred to a thousand, which is much lower than the industry.

Although the scanners used in factories and the scanners used in supermarkets are different, the ultimate goal is to better scan and collect barcodes. Only different scanners have been used for different usage environments. Then it introduces another interesting question. If the scanner that is used by Shangchao does not scan the barcode, it can be scanned with the industrial scanner. The answer is no. There are many factors affecting the problem of not being able to scan barcodes.

Sometimes customers often ask me why people have a hundred or two scanners that are so cheap, and your company has so many expensive people. The above three points are enough to give the parents answers.

In fact, this is like asking why Mercedes-Benz Mercedes is much more expensive than Honda's small Fit; they are all cars, different quality, different brands, and the price is obviously the same.
