Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) barcode scanning devices are widely used for real-time inventory tracking within logistics, transportation, and warehouse and retail automation. Secure authentication and robust protection of these edge node devices are critical. Most automatic identification and data capture systems are robust handheld battery-powered devices and can be deployed as mobile tablets, smartphones, or even as wrist or finger strap devices. These devices can leverage technologies such as machine vision, fixed industrial scanning, and mobile dimensioning to modernize warehouse operations.
