INTRODUCTION

At a management meeting, a conclusion about customer experience at the point-of-sale (POS) is drawn: lines are too long, customer throughput is down and the existing equipment can no longer keep up with demands.  It becomes clear that the scanning equipment needs to be upgraded and you are responsible for finding a new POS scanner/scale solution.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

To make the best choice, first consider what options are available.  Today, there are two different scanner/scale solutions; adaptive scanner/scales and integrated scanner/scales.

Now, we can turn to history to learn about the benefits and downsides of each solution to help provide a justification for one, or the other.  Historically, adaptive scanner/scales have been the more accepted approach to weighing with well known advantages and disadvantages.

So, we're done?
