When should a warehouse invest in extended-range scanners?

Extended-range scanners (capable of reading from 10 cm up to 21 meters) are essential when forklift operators need to scan pallet rack barcodes from the vehicle cabin without dismounting.

What is the difference between IP65 and IP67 ratings for warehouse scanners?

IP65 protects against low-pressure water jets and heavy dust, whereas IP67 is fully dust-tight and withstands complete water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, ideal for outdoor yard logistics and washdown areas.
