SOLUTIONS GUIDE INTUITIVE MACHINE VISION SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY’S WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS Packing Bench Scanning Efficient, Ergonomic Fixed Scanning Packing bench stations—where items are placed into boxes or packages and labeled before shipping to customers—can become quite hectic in busy warehousing and logistics environments. Labor shortages and increasing customer demand in e-commerce businesses have put more pressure on packing teams than ever before. In many conventional setups, employees would retrieve a box, scan the barcode using a handheld scanner, manually peel and affix a...

SOLUTIONS GUIDE INTUITIVE MACHINE VISION SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY’S WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS Scan Tunnel Barcode Reading and Visual Inspections in One Device In modern logistics environments, scan tunnels improve tracking and increase sorting throughput. Scan tunnels utilize high-speed fixed industrial scanners, machine vision cameras or smart cameras to capture barcodes that are then decoded by software to verify product information, helping to guide packages of various sizes and shapes to their destinations. Zebra’s barcode solutions make it easy to quickly integrate 1D and 2D barcode...

SOLUTIONS GUIDE INTUITIVE MACHINE VISION SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY’S WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS Forklift Scanning Hands-Free Pallet Scanning Before loading pallets of goods onto a truck for shipping, workers must ensure that the correct pallet is being loaded into the truck from the forklift. A conventional setup may involve a forklift driver navigating to the truck and scanning the pallet either from the seat or directly in front of the pallet using a handheld device. Advancements in automation technologies, however, have streamlined this process. A common automation application in warehouse...

SOLUTIONS GUIDE INTUITIVE MACHINE VISION SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY’S WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS Dock Door Scanning Automated Scanning Archway Like forklift scanning, dock door scanning provides modern logistics environments with a means to efficiently and effectively automate the process of ensuring that the proper pallet is being received, moved or loaded from an inbound vehicle or into an outbound truck. A typical dock door scanning setup essentially inverts the forklift scanning application, mounting two fixed industrial scanners in an arch on either side of the door—as opposed to being mounted...
