Industrial barcode scanners are extremely durable. Since industrial environments are often dusty and damp, lower grade barcode scanners will have greater difficulty getting accurate reads. Many industrial scanners are rubberized versions of standard barcode scanners or have built-in enclosures for dust/moisture resistance. Additionally, industrial scanners are less susceptible to impacts, such as drops to concrete. Barcode Discount has a wide variety of industrial scanners from Motorola, Honeywell, Datalogic, and others.
