Cold storage and freezer environments present one of the toughest challenges in warehouse productivity. Standard barcode scanners and mobile devices fail quickly due to a triple threat:
-
Condensation: Moving from the freezer to ambient temperatures causes moisture buildup that fogs optics and shorts electronics.
-
Brittle Plastics: Extreme cold causes plastic housings and screens to become brittle and crack easily upon impact.
-
Cable Failures: Wires and connectors often stiffen and break at subzero temperatures, halting operations.
If you are looking to boost efficiency in a freezer environment, you need an extreme temperature scanner built specifically for the cold: the Honeywell Granit 1991iSR.
Granit 1991iSR: Built for the Extreme
The Granit series is Honeywell's line of ultra-rugged industrial scanners, and the Honeywell Granit 1991iSR wireless model is specifically designed to thrive where other devices fail.
Key Features for Freezer and Cold Storage Scanning:
-
Industry Leading Ruggedness: The Honeywell Granit 1991iSR boasts an impressive IP67 rating, meaning it is completely dust-tight and resistant to immersion in water. It is also designed to withstand high-volume drop events.
-
Cold Conditioned Housing: The internal components and external housing are engineered to operate reliably in temperatures as low as Minus thirty degrees Celsius (or twenty-two degrees Fahrenheit below zero), preventing the brittle failure common in lesser devices.
-
Superior Wireless Freedom: The wireless design eliminates fragile cables entirely. Its long-range Bluetooth connection allows workers to roam without losing connection, essential for checking large freezer racks and deep storage areas.
-
Best in Class Scanning: The Granit ensures reliable, rapid reading of damaged or poorly printed barcodes, even when frost or plastic wrap obstructs the label, maximising your warehouse productivity.
The ROI of Extreme Durability
For logistics and food processing companies, the Honeywell Granit 1991iSR is a high value investment. Its durability means a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) because you virtually eliminate the need for frequent repairs and replacements common with standard scanners focused on freezer environments. It enables reliable rugged barcode scanning and prevents costly operational downtime.
The ability to operate continuously in extreme temperatures ensures that workers can maintain efficient cycle counting and receiving processes, improving stock accuracy and ensuring temperature-sensitive goods are processed correctly.
