For scanning applications in warehouse, distribution center, and manufacturing environments where items move along a conveyor belt or assembly line, fixed-mount scanners enable automatic detection and capture of barcodes as they pass through the process. 
 
Fixed mount scanners automate the scanning process, minimizing the risk of missed scans and eliminating the need to have a person manually scan each item.  Fixed-mount scanners enable conveyor belts and assembly lines to move much faster compared to operations where barcodes are manually scanned, and are a key component in automated warehouse, distribution center, and manufacturing environments.
