Introduction:

Barcode scanning is essential in the logistics industry because it is the brain of automation. The logistics market was valued at $43.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow 11% annually until 2030. With logistics being a huge market for investment, companies should consider investing in a reliable and efficient barcode scanning solution. In this article, we will discuss Motion AI's various options for barcode solutions that can increase the efficiency of your logistics operations.

Importance of Barcode Scanning in Logistics:

Barcode scanning is critical in logistics because it provides accuracy and efficiency within the supply chain. With accurate barcode scans, logistics companies can track packages, automate inventory management, and reduce human errors in data input. As a result, logistics companies can save time and money, streamline their operations and enhance customer satisfaction.

Motion AI's Solutions for Barcode Scanning:

Motion AI offers various barcode scanning solutions for logistics companies. These solutions are designed to automate the barcode scanning process and improve the overall efficiency of logistics operations.

1. Fixed Mount Barcode Reader: Motion AI's fixed mount barcode reader allows the user to scan multiple packages back-to-back, enabling three times the output of a handheld scanner. By placing the package under the scanner, the reader scans the barcode, and the package is ready to be shipped.

2. Dimension Weight and Scan (DWS) Solution: Motion AI's DWS solution streamlines the weighing, measuring, and scanning of packages. By placing the package on the scale and letting the DWS solution do the rest, the user decreases the chance of human error and expense from misreading the scale, measuring tape, or inputting incorrect information.

3. Pallet Scanning: Motion AI's pallet scanner allows the user to scan an entire pallet with a single camera. As the parcel moves through the tunnel, mirrors allow the camera to scan all barcodes wherever they may be.

Real-Life Demonstrations of Motion AI's Barcode Reading Solutions:

Motion AI's barcode reading solutions have been deployed in real-life situations, and the results Show that they increase throughput, diminish the chance of human error, and streamline the logistics supply chain.

1. Inbound Receiving with Presentation Scanner: Presentation scanners are ideal for inbound receiving because the camera scanning each individual product gives the operator feedback and flashes green whenever the scan is successful. Having two hands and continually scanning increases throughput and diminishes the chance of human error from typing in information.

2. Fixed Mount Barcode Reader for Automation: In scenarios where each barcode holds valuable information like customer and shipping data, inputting such data is usually a manual process. However, Motion AI's fixed mount barcode reader makes for a significant automation tool. The camera scans the product, and a green light indicates a successful scan. The system then inputs all the information needed for the customer, and the product is packed and shipped straight from there.

3. Conveyors for Automated Pack Out and Inbound Stages: Conveyors can be a big part of the scanning process, and Motion AI's extendable conveyors let facilities automate a great deal of the manual processes during the pack-out and inbound stages. With these conveyors, the product can be placed directly on the belt and as the product makes its way through the conveyors to the bay to be shipped or sorted, presentation scanners scan its barcodes and input the information automatically. Sortation conveyors divert the package down the correct lane and sort it accordingly.

4. Side-by-Side Detection Scanners: Motion AI's side-by-side detection system will ensure that you never miss a package. If two packages are delivered side-by-side, they would usually be counted as one, and in the end, a customer would be missing their package. However, our side-by-side detection system inputs both packages' information into the system and diverts them to be sorted accordingly.

5. Five-Sided Sorter for Barcode Reading and Dimensioning: Motion AI's five-sided sorter reads a barcode no matter which way the package is facing as it travels through the tunnel. It will also take dimensional data and input it in a matter of seconds. This sorter ensures that packages are sorted correctly and speeds up the logistics process.

Pros and Cons of Motion AI's Barcode Solutions:
