U1C
The U1C is the U-series 1D CCD scanner — the low-cost red-light CCD entry that reads pick lists, rack labels and container IDs at the 4 mil class, with MOQ 1 pc supply and a free SDK in the box.

The pick face, at hand's reach.
Cycling count in a small warehouse is usually done with fingers and a clipboard — and inventory error rates commonly run 1–3% in setups without machine capture, which quietly eats 1–5% of margin. The U1C is the lowest-cost way to close that door: a red-line CCD gun that reads the rack label you already printed:
- One hand, no battery roster — wired CCD draws from the checkpoint PC, so a picker grabbing the U1C at shift start never learns what "dead scanner" means.
- Labels survive cheap printers — the 1,500-pixel red line takes the thermal labels, shelf stickers and reused tote tags that low-margin DCs run on.
- Cycle-count discipline — with RS232 output the count goes into the WMS directly, which trims double-entry and the 10% phantom-payroll margin of error that manual counts invite.
U1C FAQs
The red LED assist marks the scan position clearly under normal warehouse lighting; for heavy shadow or dark totes the laser U1 gives a longer reach — a one-sample test on your rack depth settles it.
Yes — USB HID acts as a keyboard; RS232 mode gives a serial stream with the free SDK routine, which WMS integrators usually have dialed in within hours.
CCD reads worn thermal labels better than a laser in most degrading-label cases, but torn or double-stacked labels always need a reprint — that is physics, not the device.
