Handheld Laser Scanner Symbol LS3408-FZ Overview

Industrial environments, warehouses and manufacturing facilities aren't friendly to bar code labels. Damaged, dirty or poorly printed bar codes are typical, slowing down the data capture process. The rugged Symbol LS3408-FZ handheld corded scanner features fuzzy logic technology for fast and accurate reading of 1D bar codes, no matter what their condition.

 

Business Challenge	Solution
Because bar codes in your industrial environment are sometimes damaged or poorly printed, your production is often slowed by workers re-scanning.	You quickly and accurately capture all 1D bar codes on the first scan, including damaged, dirty or poorly printed labels with the Symbol LS3408-FZ scanner's high-performance fuzzy logic capability.
You have too much downtime caused by equipment failures because your facilities are hot, humid and dusty, and equipment is often accidentally dropped.	IP65-rated sealing protects against elements, and the industrial design withstands multiple 6.5-ft. (2-m) drops to concrete, reducing downtime and costs for maintenance and repairs.
With noisy machinery and many poorly lit areas in your facilities, your operators aren't able to see or hear scanner feedback and are wasting too much time trying to determine if a scan has completed.	You know when a scan is successful with two modes of confirmation on the Symbol LS3408-FZ - a bright light and a beeper with adjustable volume.
You need to know the bar code scanners you buy to meet your needs today are flexible enough to meet evolving needs over time, so you won't have to replace them when a new symbology comes out.	The Symbol LS3408-FZ scanner's multiple on-board interfaces ensure you'll be able to use your scanner with different hosts, while its support for reduced space symbology (RSS) and 14-digit global trade item number (GTIN) bar codes provides compatibility with emerging symbologies.
Your managers aren't getting critical data from your production lines and aren't able to make smart and timely decisions about parts ordering.	Your managers gain up-to-the-minute visibility into your supply chain operations because Symbol wireless network products let you transmit inventory, warehouse and production line data in real time.
