We’re always looking for ways to do things faster, but efficiency is a key player in the process. With the busiest shopping days of the year heading this way, retailers want to make sure it’s smooth sailing for consumers. For many, that means integrating a mobile device for POS. Luckily, with tighter budgets and fewer…
I spent way too much of last weekend cleaning unmentionable crud out of my Smartphone. No, I didn’t drop it in the toilet. In that case, I’d know whom to blame – me – and the lesson would have been clear: Don’t take your Smartphone into the bathroom! Instead, hidden away in its internal storage,…
Small. Light. Portable. Simple. These words have quickly become part of our vocabulary in an age of “can’t wait” “what’s next” and “I want it now”. For some, it’s just for convenience. For others, it’s a whole new world of efficiency when a new product comes along that seems leaps and bounds above the rest. …
RFID? RTLS? Are they the same thing? Sure, each acronym has a distinct root meaning, but I still hear and read RFID and RTLS used interchangeably. So, which should we use when? Fortunately, Zebra Technologies has published a white paper, RTLS 101: What It Is and Why You Need It, that distinguishes RTLS from RFID…

So, in 2011-12 the company got serious about…
You might not notice it when viewing a daylight scene through a picture window, but no glass surface is absolutely transparent. Indeed, a typical air-to-glass interface reflects a significant percentage of the visible spectrum of light. Each air-to-glass interface reflects about 4% of incident light. Because a single pane of glass has two air-to-glass interfaces…
When it comes to scanning performance, it takes an industry leader to be able to design a device that is strong enough for a warehouse environment, but made for one that may be…well…more discrete. First of all, let me say that the Honeywell Vuquest® 3310g is just adorable. I mean it. Its compact size makes…
The L-Tron team recently received a blog comment from Eef de Ferrante, Director of the Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association (aipia.info), reminding us that item-level tracking systems are often best coordinated at the production end of the supply chain.
