CASE STUDIES
In the transportation industry, tracking tools like barcode scanners must operate under extreme conditions — continuous vibration, wide temperature fluctuations, and high humidity. A leading transportation customer wanted to implement an attendance-tracking barcode scanner for in-vehicle use, but off-the-shelf consumer products failed due to fragility and reliability issues. The challenge was to design a scanning device that could survive and perform consistently inside a moving vehicle over extended periods.
Steiner Enterprises developed a custom barcode scanner enclosure and mounting system designed specifically for use in rugged transit environments. A high-performance scan engine was selected and isolated using foam gaskets and rubber washers to protect it from shock and vibration. A durable metal bracket secured the assembly while maintaining flexibility for integration across various vehicle types.
Sensitive electronics suspended with foam dampers and vibration-absorbing mounts
Designed to withstand wide temperature swings and variable humidity
Rigid metal bracket system ensures installation integrity in mobile environments
With globally sourced components
The ruggedized barcode scanner enabled reliable in-vehicle attendance tracking across a fleet of vehicles. Its durability significantly reduced failure rates and service calls, while providing a seamless experience for end users. The customer was able to deploy the system confidently across new and existing fleet vehicles.
