From its brilliant blue indicator to its smooth charcoal body and black accents, Stratos exudes quality and beauty. Its tasteful above-counter design speaks of its high-performance upbringing. In fact, everything about Stratos is purposeful; designed to take high-volume POS scanning to new heights.

Speed. Because you don’t want your customers waiting in line. Time is money. And nowhere is that more apparent than at the checkout. With StratosSCAN 6-sided, 360° scanning, advanced StratosSPHERE decoding software, 6000 scans per second, and a class-leading 68 scan lines, Stratos’ performance is sure to get customers through fast. And thanks to StratosSCAN, operators also benefit from minimized fatigue and stress associated with twisting and turning products.

Uptime. Because you don’t want your scanner waiting for a repair technician. You only have a certain number of lanes per store. Each needs to be ready for action when it’s convenient for your customers. That’s why Stratos is constructed like a tank and tested to withstand the rigors of today’s checkout environment. But we’ve faced reality, scanners sometimes malfunction, so Metrologic invented StratosSWAP modular optics engine technology – small, pre-aligned, field-replaceable modules that pop into place in a matter of minutes. Simple. No need for full-unit spares taking up warehouse space. No need for degreed engineers on-call. What’s more, Stratos’ vertical and horizontal scanning zones operate totally independently one from another – a feature we call StratosSYNC. If one goes down, the other keeps scanning to keep your customers moving.

Return on investment. Because we don’t want you waiting to realize increased profit. It starts with value pricing. Then we add features like StratosSCHOOL operator training software and a solid “bumper to bumper” warranty and, because every dollar counts, our light 16lb. (non-scale) unit even costs less to ship.
