Basics of ESD Safety White Paper - Microscan - #4

The Quadrus MINI ESD Safe offers ease of use and a wide range of functionality for any manufacturing environment. A simple plug-and-play connection links the unit to a host com­puter with Microscan's ESP® Software, making configuration a simple point-and-click process. The EZ Button at the back of the unit automatically focuses and calibrates the reader for optimal decode performance.

ESD events happen every day. Tiny shocks such as those that occur when touching a car door may seem insignificant, but in manufacturing environments, even the smallest shock can damage components, resulting in delayed shipments, higher manufacturing costs, and numerous other complications.

Some ESD workarounds exist for process control and inventory tracking, but with significant levels of risk. The most reliable solution is Microscan's Quadrus MINI ESD Safe - the only ESD-safe fixed-mount bar code reader. The Quadrus MINI ESD Safe is simply the safe choice for any bar code tracking process involving ESD risk.
