Reading labels on packages on a pallet

Reading labels on packages stacked on pallets is a common task in warehouses and distribution centers. Challenges such as using a stepladder to read barcodes on high-stacked cardboard boxes or work interruptions due to unreadable labels through stretch film are major obstacles to operational efficiency.

KEYENCE's BT-A700 Series handheld computer was developed to solve these on-site problems. Equipped with an industry-leading reading engine, it achieves overwhelming long-range performance, instantly reading barcodes up to 10 m away. This allows for accurate scanning of labels in high places without dismantling pallets, whether from a forklift or the ground, dramatically improving the efficiency and safety of inspection and inventory management tasks.

Furthermore, its AI-powered decoding technology enables stress-free bulk reading of wrinkled labels under plastic wrap and challenging codes that are faded or dirty. It dramatically improves productivity in receiving/shipping management and picking operations, powerfully promoting warehouse digital transformation (DX).
