Whatever your needs, we will find point-of-care technology that will integrate smoothly into your Visual Pharmacy Plus™ software and enterprise pharmacy management system.

A handheld Barcode Scanner is, of course, any scanner that is held in the hand of the user. The opposite of the handheld scanner would be a fixed mount Barcode Scanner, ones that are attached to a wall, counter, or assembly line and are not operated directly by the user. Most handheld Barcode Scanner are designed like a handgun, with a grip and a trigger to activate the scanning operation. Some scanners are more of a phaser, also with a grip, but with a button on top instead of a trigger below. However, the handheld Barcode Scanner also includes scanners that are better referred to as Portable Data Collectors (PDTs). These typically can have either their own inherent data collection software running that attaches important information (e.g. time, quantity stamps) to the barcodes scanned, or else can be fully mobile computers, with PocketPC or other operating systems.
