handheld computers information
How much do you think those handheld scanners used by Wal-Mart dept. managers cost?
I work as an instock associate at Wal-Mart (just transferred over to this new store 2 weeks ago from being a cart pusher for more than a year thank God) and I was wondering how much those Symbol handheld scanners that we use to scan barcodes and get information about backstock cost. About $300? $500? The scanners communicate wirelessly with our SMART computer system. Symbol Technologies manufactures them. So, are they at least $500? Some managers think they cost about $3,000, but I don’t see how…
It depends on the scanner itself. If it’s a “dumb” scanner connected to a computer (or cash register), it probably could be just a few hundred dollars. All it does is read a barcode and the computer does all the real work.
However, if it’s a larger scanner with a keyboard and display built in, it could very well be $2000-3000. It’s basically a miniature computer and scanner built as one and it communicates with a server via a radio-frequency network.
The cost probably also includes some type of service agreement. Instead of trying to repair damaged units by themselves, they send them back to Symbol to be repaired.
