LS3008 scanner targeted for use in healthcare, warehousing, manufacturing and back-end retail environments
Holtsville, NY — August 9, 2006 — Auto-ID specialist Symbol Technologies has taken the wraps off a new "value-priced" rugged handheld scanner designed for high-performance and reliability in healthcare, warehousing, manufacturing and back-end retail environments.
Symbol said that the LS3008 broadens the company's rugged scanner portfolio to meet the needs of customers and markets where cost and ergonomics are critical factors for customers seeking real-time data capture capabilities.
Built to withstand frequent drops to concrete and exposure to water and dust, the new rugged scanner is sealed to IP53 standards and is intended to provide optimized productivity while reducing the need for equipment repairs, helping to lower the total cost of ownership, Symbol said.
The LS3008 scanner was designed to meet the varying demands of retailers needing a rugged scanner for back-end operations; warehouse workers responsible for shipping and receiving products in an efficient manner; associates performing light assembly within a manufacturing environment; and healthcare professionals seeking a reliable bar code capture tool for bedside and patient management, according to the solution provider.
"The LS3008 is an easy-to-use, lightweight bar code scanner that requires minimal training and enables users to scan objects comfortably in less than optimum conditions," said Bob Sanders, vice president and general manager of Symbol's advanced data capture division.
The new unit is equipped with multi-line rastering scan pattern to eliminate the need for exact aim and positioning. This feature enables customers to scan one-dimensional (1D) bar codes, including those that are damaged, small or poorly printed, without delay or the need to rescan.
Along with a scratch-resistant, tempered glass window for high-quality scanning, the LS3008 also offers single circuit-board construction, eliminating the failure points commonly found in competing scanners, Symbol said.
The Symbol LS3008 rugged bar code scanner has a list price of $419.
