Capture bar codes, images and direct part marks with extraordinary speed 

The Motorola DS3508 Series of rugged, corded digital scanners bring comprehensive, high performance data capture to harsh industrial environments to improve business efficiency. Engineered with breakthrough digital imaging 

technology, this scanner family delivers extremely fast and accurate data capture of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) bar codes, images and direct part marks (DPM) as well as Item Unique Identification (IUID)* 

support. Available in three models, the DS3508 Series of scanners can meet a wide variety of data capture needs in multiple industries.

High performance that speeds productivity 

With the DS3508 Series, you benefit from a scanning solution designed specifically for fast paced production environments. The CMOS image sensors allow the accurate capture and processing of bar codes at a faster pace than the typical digital scanner. The DS3508 Series is armed with a powerful 624 MHz microprocessor, capable of decoding 1D or 2D bar codes within milliseconds, regardless of size or density. The patent pending fast-pulse illumination and fast sensor shutter speed enable image capture at a full 60 frames per second, delivering outstanding motion tolerance. In addition, the omni-directional scanning functionality allows operators to quickly capture bar codes from any angle, eliminating the need to align bar codes with laser lines. Plus, the DS3508 Series offers the widest working range of any scanner in its class.

Built for industrial environments

As innovative as it is rugged, the DS3508 Series delivers the ergonomic and operational features for scan-intensive industrial applications under the harshest operating conditions. The device is designed to perform reliably despite the inevitable bumps and drops — even on concrete. An IP65-rated seal makes it impervious to dust and water, and the exit window is scratch-resistant and recessed for the highest level of durability. As a result, enterprises enjoy a low total cost of ownership — employee and device downtime as well as equipment repair and replacement costs are minimized.In addition, noisy machinery and poor lighting can make it difficult for operators to see or hear scanner feedback to ensure proper completion of scans. Motorola’s DS3508 Series addresses this challenge with bright LEDs, an adjustable volume beeper and a vibrating pager motor placed in the handle, ensuring that decode feedback is clearly visible and audible to users, saving valuable worker time.

4 models to meet many needs

This diverse product line offers a number of models designed to meet a wide variety of application needs across a variety of industries:

DS3508-SR: Combination 1D and 2D bar code scanning and image capture

The DS3508-SR offers the flexibility to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications and environments, providing 1D and 2D bar code scanning and high-speed image capture and transfer, as well as support for a wide variety of interfaces for easy integration with new and legacy systems. The DS3508-SR is designed to streamline inventory management in scan intensive, fast-paced environments, from the largest warehouse to the retail backroom, where a quick scan enables the automatic and accurate capture of the information required to increase productivity and reduce errors. At the receiving dock, a scan of the bar code on the boxes, pallets or bill of lading enables automatic reconciliation of incoming shipments for faster processing of incoming goods. In put-away and picking, a quick scan can determine where product should be stored and also verify that product was placed on the right shelf, virtually eliminating false out-of-stocks due to misplacement — and lost sales. In shipping, a quick scan verifies that the right shipment is addressed to the right person, eliminating costly mis-ships. In addition to improving the efficiency of inventory management, this device can also provide invaluable photographic proof of condition. For example, with a quick press of the trigger, a worker can capture a photograph of a damaged shipment or product.

The DS3508-HD offers the same capabilities asthe DS3508-SR, but adds optimization for the verytiny and dense 2D bar codes frequently found inwarehousing, transportation and logistics, andmanufacturing environments. In manufacturingoperations, the DS3508-HD allows even small partswith small bar code labels to be easily scanned toverify that the right part is used at the right time. As aresult, product quality improves, increasing customersatisfaction and retention. Real-time inventory visibilityallows manufacturers to reduce standard stockinglevels, reducing warehouse space requirements and increasing inventory turns and profitability. And in the event you are notified of a defective part, you can easily trace the location of defective product for more rapid and targeted recalls, protecting brand image, customer perception and recall costs. And companies involved in warehousing, shipping and delivery ofsmaller items can easily read the small, dense 2D bar codes that may be utilized on smaller packages

DS3508-DP: Comprehensive IUID-enabled scannerwith support for 1D, 2D and DPM bar codes

This powerful scanner combines highly advanced DPM-specific software with the functionality of the DS3508-SR, the focusing capability ofthe DS3508-HD and integrated IUID parsing capability. This single cost-effective device provides government agencies and industrial manufacturers — including automotive, aerospace and medical — with the ability to capture all 1D and 2D bar codes as well as every type of direct part mark. Comprehensive IUID support enables the capture and processing of Unique Item Identifiers (UIIs) — the scanner can validate, read, separate and transmit the right information to your application. And field upgradable construct tables future-proof your IUID applications.
