Warehousing and logistics operations have undergone significant transformation in recent years. Real-time inventory visibility, barcode scanning, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), automation, CCTV, and mobile workforce technologies now play a critical role in keeping supply chains moving. 

Introducing the latest in Zebra’s MC9000 series: the MC9400 and MC9450, designed for the toughest of industrial environments. Featuring a trigger grip, swappable keyboards, and a 100ft scanning distance, the MC94 range is built to handle whatever your factory or warehouse environment can throw at it.

GS1 Digital Link is a new format for 2D barcodes (QR codes), which will replace the current 1D EAN/UPC standard in the coming years. Unlike a 1D barcode, which would typically just contain a static product code, GS1 Digital Link barcodes use a standardised URL format that allow digital systems to access a wealth of information about the product.

Retailers, warehouses and more are upgrading to 2D scanning in record numbers. But some are still hesitant because of the increased cost. That is why Unitech made the MS339. This 2D scanner offers incredible scanning performance with an adjustable stand included for the price of a 1D scanning kit.

When it comes to choosing a barcode scanner, it is essential to find the right mix of performance, style, durability and price. There are a lot of scanners to choose from, but with its high-performance CMOS imager, 1.8-metre drop protection and complimentary stand, you’ll love the Opticon L-46X.

For a limited time, Unitech is offering a free sample of its MS282 scanner for resellers. The scanner is 100% free to keep. All resellers need to do is pay for shipping and submit an evaluation of the device.

Warehousing technology is in a period of change. Innovative new technologies have transformed warehouse procedures. It can be difficult to keep up with the pace of change, but some new innovations provide the opportunity to save time and improve the accuracy of stock-taking procedures.

A new frontier is opening in barcode scanning technology. Unitech has pioneered wearable scanning technology, enabling users to scan and process barcodes while leaving both hands free for work. This technology has the potential to improve productivity in retail, logistics, field service and hospitality.

Also in this year, you can meet us at “Retail Business Technology Expo” in London. From 2nd to 3rd May 2018, we will present our products at booth number D220.

According to the Smithsonian, the first barcode was written in sand in Miami by inventor Joe Woodland – decades before technology could bring his vision to life.
