8. Common Trends
 Expensive
 All scanners need to communicate to a terminal at
all times to work properly
 Not designed Ergonomically (except for the
WT4000 model)

9. What is Ergonomics?
 The applied science of equipment design, as for the
workplace, intended to maximize productivity by
reducing operator fatigue and discomfort.

10. Why we designed our product
 To maximize productivity through ergonomics
 To remove the barrier of dependency on terminals
 To lower costs per scanner

11. Our Design
 Thumb trigger

More accessibility to the trigger
 Strap around the backside of the
scanner
 To keep it on the person’s hand
while the person grab packages
 Ambidextrous

Ability to be used on the right
or left hand

12. Our Design
 Removable Batteries

Instead of plugging in the
whole scanner to
recharge, it would be more
beneficial just to change
out batteries and recharge
just the battery
 Memory Cards

Instead of requiring a
computer terminal, we
have use a micro memory
card that can be inserted
into a tablet or a computer
to be read

13. Why we designed our the way we did
 The improved design of the scanner allows the
employee to simultaneously hold the scanner, scan
boxes, and pick them up
 Ideal price for our scanners would be below $100 to
attract potential customers while producing a unique
and useful product

14. Target Market
 Air Cargo Companies
 Warehouses
 Any Overlapping
Industries

15. What we need
Help with startup capital so we can:

Manufacture a functional scanner with this idea implemented

To promote it at Air Cargo Conferences and Trade Shows
worldwide

Produce a sample software that is compatible with this scanner
to promote it better to companies

Assistance with some of the start-up costs

16. Examples of Some Start-Up Costs

o Trade Mark Cost
o Raw Materials
o Business License from
the City of Jacksonville

17. Examples of Some Start-Up Costs
o Location to Manufacture
o Design Application Fee
