Supply chains are under growing pressure to move faster and operate with greater accuracy than ever before. Yet many warehouse and parcel sorting operations still rely heavily on barcode scanning — a process that requires manual, line-of-sight reading of individual items. In high-volume logistics environments, this creates operational bottlenecks
