// Barcode Scanning

Presentation & Fixed-Mount Scanners

When an operator's hands are already full, a handheld scanner is the wrong tool.

// What goes wrong

Tasks that require both hands — packing, assembly, counter transactions — slow down when the workflow also requires stopping to pick up and aim a handheld scanner.

01

Throughput loss from interrupting two-handed tasks

Operators repeatedly setting down and picking up a handheld unit slow throughput at exactly the tasks where both hands are already committed.

02

Ergonomic strain at the workstation

A scanning motion that interrupts a two-handed task introduces strain that accumulates across a shift — a fixed scanner eliminates the motion entirely.

03

Missed scans under time pressure

Missed scans when a handheld unit gets skipped under time pressure — a fixed scanner in the right position doesn't require a decision to use it.

// How we approach it

Match the scanner to the application.

We assess the actual hand-use pattern at the workstation before recommending fixed-mount versus handheld — it's a workflow fit question, not a preference.

// What's included

Hands-free presentation and fixed-mount scanners for counters, benches, and production lines, positioned and mounted as part of installation.


// Why TSS

Positioned and mounted as part of installation, matched to the specific workstation layout.
