BI-OPTIC BARCODE READERS WITH SPECIALLY DESIGNED PLATTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028850 titled 'BI-OPTIC BARCODE READERS WITH SPECIALLY DESIGNED PLATTERS

Simplified Explanation

The present invention relates to barcode readers that have weigh platters. In one example, a barcode reader includes a weigh platter with different regions, including a central region, proximal edge region, first lateral edge region, second lateral edge region, and distal edge region. The first lateral edge of the first lateral edge region and the second lateral edge of the second lateral edge region extend above a transverse plane defined by the central region.

  • The invention is directed to barcode readers with weigh platters.
  • The weigh platter has different regions, including a central region, proximal edge region, first lateral edge region, second lateral edge region, and distal edge region.
  • The first lateral edge of the first lateral edge region and the second lateral edge of the second lateral edge region extend above a transverse plane defined by the central region.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Retail industry: Barcode readers with weigh platters can be used in retail stores for efficient and accurate scanning of products with barcodes, especially those that require weighing.
  • Logistics and shipping: Barcode readers with weigh platters can be utilized in warehouses and shipping centers to quickly scan and weigh packages, improving efficiency and reducing errors.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate weighing: The weigh platter allows for precise weighing of items, ensuring accurate measurements for inventory management and pricing.
  • Streamlined scanning process: Combining barcode scanning and weighing capabilities in one device simplifies the scanning process, saving time and reducing the need for multiple devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: Barcode readers with weigh platters enable faster and more efficient scanning and weighing of products, increasing productivity in various industries.
  • Enhanced accuracy: The integration of weighing capabilities ensures accurate measurements, reducing errors in inventory management and pricing.
  • Cost-effective: Using a single device for both barcode scanning and weighing eliminates the need for separate equipment, saving costs for businesses.
