These handheld scanners function similarly to a corded scanner except that they communicate to an included base station (cradle) or to your mobile device directly, via Bluetooth. In applications where operators must move about to read bar codes, cables become a limiting factor. They cause inefficiencies or safety and ergonomic concerns. Cable length often limits working range, resulting in an object being moved to the reader because the reader can’t be taken to the object.

With cordless bar code reading, operators have freedom of movement required to quickly, safely, and ergonomically read bar code data. With a 100m working range and 40 cm read-range, the Proton IMS-3100  has the right combination of performance and features. 

Having the right performance is only part of the solution; staying in service is just as important. The Proton IMS-3100  also has IP 41  durability. It was designed to survive in real world mobile applications. With no moving parts and an ergonomic  housing design, the Proton IMS-3100 will easily provide years of service in retail and commercial environments, creating a favorable total cost of ownership.
