What is an Omni-Directional Scanner?

An omni-directional scanner is a type of barcode scanner that can read barcodes from any angle, making it faster and more efficient than traditional linear scanners. In the shipping context, omni-directional scanners are used to scan the barcodes on packages and shipping labels to track the movement of goods through the supply chain. These scanners can be used in warehouses, distribution centers, and shipping terminals to speed up the handling and tracking of shipments.
