For decades, the fixed industrial format was a “quiet” form factor among barcode scanners. Only two markets existed (Manufacturing and T&L). The evolution from 1D to 2D technology is slow compared to handheld and handsfree counterparts. Customer refresh rates are also slow, as many organizations keep data capture infrastructure for over a decade.
This is evolving. Today’s fixed industrial scanners still serve mostly the same two industries though have expanded in multiple directions within each vertical. The technology is foundational to factory and logistics automation, and in scan tunnels which are gaining a new market in factories and warehouses for induction. Industrial scanners are advancing their use of 2D imagers to perform machine vision tasks, while also maintaining some compelling and cost-justifying use cases for linear and laser technologies. Investments for automation and to address labor shortages are key growth drivers of FIS technologies.
