Frequently asked questions
Typically 2.5-4 meters above the floor. Higher mounting increases coverage area but may reduce read accuracy for smaller tags. We help you find the optimal height during installation.
Yes. Multiple overhead scanners can work together to cover larger zones or create multi-point verification. They're automatically coordinated through the Beam platform.
Yes. The Overhead Scanner integrates with all major ERP and WMS systems via REST API. We sync zone events and inventory updates in real time.
The scanner stores all reads locally and automatically syncs when connection is restored. No data is lost and monitoring continues uninterrupted.
Zones are configured through the Beam platform. You can create custom detection areas, set entry/exit triggers, and define what actions should happen when items are detected.
