PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CipherLab (www.cipherlab.com), a leading innovator in Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) for the retail, warehouse and distribution markets, today announced that Sierra Marine is replacing its old scanners with CipherLab’s 1166 wireless BT scanners to automate inventory management in its Chicago area warehouse. Sierra Marine is a manufacturing division of Teleflex Marine and supplies OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders with hundreds of boat parts every day. Reseller eComputer, Inc. helped integrate the scanners at Sierra Marine with CipherLab distributor BlueStar, Inc.

“After conducting extensive research for Sierra Marine, I was impressed by the CipherLab 1166’s reliability, features and specs when compared to Intermec and Metrologic handhelds”

“After conducting extensive research for Sierra Marine, I was impressed by the CipherLab 1166’s reliability, features and specs when compared to Intermec and Metrologic handhelds,” said Jön P. Badie, senior sales manager at eComputer Inc. “The most notable differentiators were the scanner’s ability to upload data within hundreds of feet of a wireless terminal and its large memory in batch mode – enabling work to get done more accurately and in less time.”

When paired with Sierra Marine’s in-house software, employees scan orders going out of the warehouse and new equipment coming in to manage inventory wirelessly instantaneously. This real-time inventory management helps minimize over or under-stocking, and manual errors while freeing employees to get other work done. The large batch mode memory of the CipherLab 1166 enables Sierra Marine employees to capture product information at the far reaches of a warehouse and upload it automatically when back in range.

The CipherLab 1166 is a BT linear imaging reader that can connect anywhere within its wireless range of up to 328 feet. It can capture up to 256 scans while out of range and automatically transmit them to a host device when back, or work in batch mode and store up to 8192 scans.
