For warehousing applications, the need for the mobility offered by cordless bar code scanners is clear. Mobility is also a priority for shop floor data capture applications. Users may need to move around in a limited area, such as on an automotive production line. Here, workers need to walk around the car on the line while performing their duties.

Previously, workers with 30-35 feet of cable attached to their bar code scanners were considered mobile. However, this type of mobility was both restrictive and hazardous. When cordless bar code scanners were introduced, techniques changed, and efficiency increased. Suddenly, wireless became much more meaningful and impactful.
