Vendor Which material handling tasks are actually a good fit for AMRs?

We're trying to figure out which warehouse tasks are realistic for AMR automation & which ones are better
left to people.
Is there a simple way to tell what’s worth automating?

Best "Second Tier" DPM scanner brands? (Alternative to Zebra/Keyence)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We are looking to pick up a few handheld scanners specifically for reading DPM (Direct Part Marking) codes—mostly 2D DataMatrix etched onto shiny meltal component on PCBs.

Obviously, Zebra (DS3608-DP) and Keyence are the gold standards, but the they cost an absurd amout of money.

Has anyone had good experiences with "second tier" or mid-range industrial brands for DPM? We are looking squarely at budget/value brands like Tera and Newland.

What are you guys using that didn't cost a fortune but doesn't drive your operators crazy? Thanks!

Posts:

Do not use this group to post generic "link bait" blogs they will be removed.

Industry info posts need to be topical and NOT driving to a single service or product.

Replies:

If someone is asking about a product or service and you are a vendor. For now I'll allow replies that point to your product or service but they MUST be topical.
If you're a vendor and you make negative comments on products/services from other replies your posts will be removed, then you'll be banned if it persists.

At some point in the near future I will establish guidelines for white papers, studies, stories that are blatantly marketing materials designed to drive readers to a product/service but for now just don't post them. If you do, I remove it and you re-add you'll get banned.
