Accurately Scan Damaged or Poorly PrintedBbarcodes.

Symbol's rugged LS3478-FZ cordless scanner provides fuzzy logic technology so you're able to rapidly and accurately read the often damaged, dirty and poorly printed one-dimensional (1D) barcodes found in your industrial environment. In the yard, warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing plant or retail store, these cordless handheld devices offer superior performance and reliability, as well as a user-friendly form factor to help your employees comfortably operate the scanner even over eight-hour shifts. Multiple onboard interfaces ensure you'll be able to use the data capture devices with existing hosts, while giving you the flexibility to upgrade your systems without having to buy new scanners. You'll lay the foundation for an advanced data capture and management solution that grows with you as your business needs evolve.

Eliminate the Cord, Not the Quality.

Your warehouse, manufacturing and even retail employees operate more efficiently when you eliminate the cable between the device and the host. Your production line technician is able to scan damaged and dirty barcodes without being cabled to the host, enabling you to save time and create more accurate data. And, you've probably noticed the cable is a common point of failure in handheld devices operating in industrial facilities. Having no cord translates to less downtime from cable breakdowns.

Minimize Equipment Downtime

As innovative as it is rugged, the Symbol LS3478-FZ Cordless Rugged Barcode Scanner delivers the ergonomic and operational features for scan-intensive industrial applications under the harshest operating conditions. During industry tumble tests, it continued to provide reliable performance even when subjected to multiple drops of 6.5 feet (2 meters) to concrete. An IP65-rated seal makes it impervious to dust and water, and its exit window is scratch-resistant and recessed for the highest level of durability. As a result, you avoid unnecessary equipment downtime or expensive equipment replacement costs.

Provide Versatility for Industrial Applications

When you require quick scanner access and convenient out-of-the-way storage, such as on a forklift in a warehouse, the LS3478-FZ features a built-in metal hook for attachment to a pulley. Workers will be able to access the scanner easily and stow it quickly when they're finished. Working around noisy machinery and in poorly lit areas, your operators aren't always able to see or hear scanner feedback to quickly determine if scans have completed. Bright LEDs and an adjustable-volume beeper on the LS3478-FZ ensure that decode feedback is clearly visible and audible to users, saving valuable worker time.

Capture Barcodes Across a Wide Range of Distances

With the LS3478-ER Cordless Rugged Barcode Scanner, you get the greatest working range of any available rugged scanner. You'll speed processes by allowing your employees to scan barcode items on pallets as close as 4 inches (10 centimeters) away and shelves as far away as 45 feet (13.7 meters). In addition, your employees will be able to quickly switch from reading barcodes on inventory to capturing smaller symbologies on barcode menus and pick lists. In the yard, warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing plant or retail store, these cordless handheld devices offer superior performance and reliability as well as a user-friendly form factor to help your employees comfortably operate the scanner even over eight-hour shifts. Multiple on-board interfaces ensure you'll be able to use the data capture devices with existing hosts, while giving you the flexibility to upgrade your systems without having to buy new scanners. You'll lay the foundation for an advanced data capture solution that grows with you as your business needs evolve.

Eliminate the Cord, Not the Performance

Your warehouse, manufacturing and even retail employees operate more efficiently when you eliminate the cable between the device and the host. Your forklift operator is able to drive to an aisle, scan a pallet up to 45 feet away and capture the data, without being cabled to the host. You save time and keep supply chain inventory up to date at all times. And, you've probably noticed the cable is a common point of failure in handheld devices operating in industrial facilities. Having no cord translates into less downtime from cable breakdowns.
