Does anyone have any recommendations on brands/models of wireless scan guns for the warehouse? We will be running IFS Cloud.

Warehouse scanguns

If you’re using WaDaCo with IFS Cloud, I’d recommend sticking with rugged enterprise Android handhelds / scan guns rather than generic some of the generic Bluetooth scanners on the market.
The main brands I’d look at are: Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic, Bluebird, and i.safe MOBILE.
A few practical points:
For a standard warehouse, the strongest options are usually Zebra, Honeywell, or Datalogic because they’re built for high-volume scanning, rugged use, battery swaps, cradles, some with pistol grips, and Wi-Fi roaming in the warehouse.
Bluebird is also worth considering if you want another Android enterprise option, especially where price is a factor.
i.safe MOBILE IS540.1 is more of a specialist choice. It makes sense if your warehouse or stores area is in a hazardous / ATEX environment. I wouldn’t usually put it first on the list for a normal warehouse, but it’s a valid option where intrinsic safety is required.
For WaDaCo, I’d focus less on brand name and more on whether the device meets these basics:
- Supported Android version
- Good browser performance for your IFS Cloud release
- Reliable barcode scanning for your distances / label types
- Strong Wi-Fi roaming in the warehouse
- Battery life and accessory options
- Secondary reader of RFID Tags instead of BarCode Scanning.
So my short answer would be:
- Best mainstream choices: Zebra (TC7 Servies / TC8000)
- Also worth a look: Bluebird
- Best for hazardous areas: i.safe MOBILE IS540.1
+1We are using Zebra brand. Happy with the scan guns. The Wadaco app does have limitations for us but the guns are fine
