The key to any successful business is efficiency, and one key to efficiency is mobility. For businesses that have the constant need to be moving, delivering, or just removed from a desk setting, having mobile and handheld devices are a game changer! Here are some of the best handheld scanners on the market, and how they can help your business.
Best all-around handheld ID scanner | Unitech PA768
The Unitech PA768 is the latest handheld ID scanner to hit the market. Users benefit from a large, edge-to-edge touchscreen with significantly higher resolution than any other previous ID scanner. The device runs on Android 12, which is faster and more security than legacy scanners, which typically run on Android 8 or earlier.
Additionally, the Unitech PA768 boasts an extremely large scanning range, from 3โณ to 3โฒ. This makes it extremely easy to scan IDs in high volume environments, as the security person or bouncer does not need to spend time centering the ID or holding it a consistent length from the laser scanner, the Unitech PA768 will successfully read the document at almost any length and angle.
