Simultaneous Barcode Capture with ICS Multiscan
Post goods receipts faster and more securely
During goods receipt posting, labels from different manufacturers are typically placed in different positions on pallets. Until now, barcodes on accompanying documents and pallet labels often had to be scanned individually. This makes the scanning process very time-consuming. In particular, capturing multiple codes on a single label may require repeated scans or manual error correction.
With ICS Multiscan, this inefficient way of working is a thing of the past. The innovative Multiscan solution from ICS significantly accelerates and optimizes truck unloading and enables time savings of up to 20% per shift. ICS Multiscan is individually tailored to your goods receipt labels and processes and works with state-of-the-art scanner systems, such as Zebra’s DS36 scanner series.
With a single scan, you capture the entire label and automatically transfer all information it contains, such as item, quantity, batch, best-before date or SSCC/NVE, to the correct fields on your terminal screen.

Why ICS for Simultaneous Barcode Capture?
Simultaneous barcode capture only delivers its full value when scanner hardware, label structure, warehouse processes and system integration work together seamlessly. That is why ICS looks beyond the individual device and considers the entire goods receipt process – from capturing the label to automatically transferring the data to systems such as WMS, ERP or warehouse logistics software.
Based on your labels, scanning distances, workstations and process requirements, ICS develops a suitable Multiscan solution. This includes technical evaluation, selection and configuration of suitable scanner hardware, assignment of barcode data to input fields and system processes, and integration into your existing applications.
