Start from the deployment, not the device.
Each of these pages describes who actually makes the purchase, where the project usually stalls, and how the data moves from the first scan to the last report.

You describe the workflow
Not the model. What is scanned, by whom, in what environment, and what the software already assumes.
We shortlist two models
With the accessory list and the integration caveats attached. If a cheaper unit does the job, we say so.
One unit, then a batch
Sample first. If it works, the batch runs on the same firmware line, scheduled once the spec is signed off.
The questions that apply to every deployment
Whatever the sector, these are the four that decide whether a rollout holds.
