RACO Recommended Use for Symbol LS3478-FZ Rugged Scanner:

Industrial Outdoors, Warehouse, Distribution, Manufacturing, Retail

Reads damaged, one-dimensional (1D) bar codes for fast, efficient industrial scanning
Your industrial environment — whether manufacturing, warehousing or logistics — isn’t friendly to bar code labels. Damaged, dirty or poorly printed bar codes are typical, slowing down the data capture process. Built to handle the specific requirements of warehousing, manufacturing and other harsh industrial applications, the Symbol LS3478-FZ handheld cordless scanner features fuzzy logic technology for fast and accurate reading of one-dimensional(1D) bar codes, no matter what their condition.

Accurately scan damaged or poorly printed bar codes
Symbol's rugged LS3478-FZ cordless scanner provides fuzzy logic technology so you're able to rapidly and accurately read the often damaged, dirty and poorly printed one-dimensional (1D) bar codes found in your industrial environment.

In the yard, warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing plant or retail store, these cordless handheld devices offer superior performance and reliability, as well as a user-friendly form factor to help your employees comfortably operate the scanner even over eight-hour shifts. Multiple onboard interfaces ensure you'll be able to use the data capture devices with existing hosts, while giving you the flexibility to upgrade your systems without having to buy new scanners. You'll lay the foundation for an advanced data capture and management solution that grows with you as your business needs evolve.

Eliminate the cord, not performance
Your warehouse, manufacturing and even retail employees operate more efficiently when you eliminate the cable between the device and the host. Your production line technician is able to scan damaged and dirty bar codes without being cabled to the host, enabling you to save time and create more accurate data. And, you've probably noticed the cable is a common point of failure in handheld devices operating in industrial facilities. Having no cord translates into less downtime from cable breakdowns.

Minimize equipment downtime
As innovative as it is rugged, the Symbol LS3478-FZ scanner delivers the ergonomic and operational features for scan-intensive industrial applications under the harshest operating conditions. During industry tumble tests, it continued to provide reliable performance even when subjected to multiple drops of 6.5 feet (2 meters) to concrete. An IP65-rated seal makes it impervious to dust and water, and its exit window is scratch-resistant and recessed for the highest level of durability. As a result, you avoid unnecessary equipment downtime or expensive equipment replacement costs.

Provide versatility for your industrial applications
When you require quick scanner access and convenient out-of-the-way storage, such as on a forklift in a warehouse, the Symbol LS3478-FZ rugged scanner features a built-in metal hook for attachment to a pulley. Workers will be able to access the scanner easily and stow it quickly when they're finished. Working around noisy machinery and in poorly lit areas, your operators aren't always able to see or hear scanner feedback to quickly determine if scans have completed. Bright LEDs and an adjustable-volume beeper on the Symbol LS3478-FZ scanner ensure that decode feedback is clearly visible and audible to users, saving valuable worker time.

Symbol LS3478-FZ Scanner Business Challenges and Solutions


Because bar codes in your industrial environment are sometimes damaged and of poor quality, your production is often slowed by workers re-scanning.
You quickly and accurately capture all 1D bar codes on the first scan, including damaged, dirty or poorly printed labels with the Symbol LS3478-FZ scanner’s high-performance fuzzy logic capability.

Your large facilities require scanning beyond the 6-foot corded device range. You’ve also found that cables tend to fail in your rough industrial environment, leading to too much downtime.
Your workers are now able to work within a 150-foot range, and your cordless bar code scanners will no longer require as many repairs due to failed cords, leading to increased productivity.

You have too much downtime caused by equipment failures because your facilities are hot, humid and dusty, and equipment is often accidentally dropped.
IP65-rated sealing protects against elements, and the industrial design withstands multiple 6.5-ft. (2-m) drops to concrete, reducing downtime and costs for maintenance and repairs.

With noisy machinery and many poorly lit areas in your facilities, your operators aren’t able to see or hear scanner feedback and are wasting too much time trying to determine if a scan has completed.
You know when a scan is successful with two modes of confirmation on the Symbol LS3478-FZ — a bright light and a beeper with adjustable volume.
