Cordless Scanner

Cordless scanners offer unmatched mobility and flexibility, allowing your staff to scan heavy or bulky items without moving them, conduct inventory checks without being tied to a workstation, and create a cleaner, safer workspace free from cable clutter.

Most modern cordless scanners like the Zebra DS2278 offers a full 8-10 hours of continuous use on a single charge. They come with convenient docking stations that charge the scanner automatically when not in use, ensuring they are always ready for the next shift.

Advanced Bluetooth scanners have a reliable range of up to 100 meters (over 300 feet) in open space. While performance can vary through dense walls, modern models are designed to maintain a stable connection throughout a typical Singaporean warehouse or retail backroom.

They are highly secure. Our cordless scanners use encrypted Bluetooth Classic or Low Energy (BLE) connections with pairing protocols to prevent interference and ensure they only communicate with your designated receiver. They operate on standard frequencies approved by IMDA.

Bluetooth scanners are universal and easily connect to tablets, smartphones, and computers. Proprietary RF models (like some older Symbol/Zebra models) use a dedicated base station and can offer longer range in specific industrial settings. For most businesses in Singapore, Bluetooth is the recommended, future-proof choice.

Setup is very simple. For most models, you just plug a small Bluetooth dongle into a computer’s USB port, turn on the scanner, and they pair automatically. The computer recognizes the scanner as a keyboard, so it works with any software (like POS or inventory systems) without special drivers.

Yes, many cordless scanners are built to the same rugged industrial standards. Look for models with high IP ratings (e.g., IP54 for dust and moisture resistance) and MIL-STD-810G certification for drop resistance, ensuring they can withstand the demands of a warehouse environment.

Many of our cordless scanners offer a “hot-swap” feature. You can have a spare battery charged and ready to replace the dead one within seconds without shutting down the scanner. Alternatively, most can also operate in a “tethered” mode by plugging in a USB cable if needed.

For inventory, we recommend durable models such as the Zebra DS2278 or iData J16. These allow workers to keep both hands free while scanning items on high shelves or moving boxes, significantly improving efficiency.

No special software is needed for basic scanning. The scanner inputs data just like a keyboard. However, to unlock advanced features like batch mode (storing scans when out of range) or device management, you would use the manufacturer’s complementary utilities, which we can help you install.
