Datalogic Scanning Demonstrates Its Industrial Strength At NA2010

Datalogic Scanning recognizes that bar code systems are a critical component to link activities both inside and outside of the supply chain. Without this technology, material handling inside a distribution center, manufacturing, or warehouse environment becomes more complex, costly and less productive. As an exhibitor at NA2010, Datalogic Scanning offered ruggedized, industrial strength bar code scanning solutions to optimize the efficiency of any supply chain.

Datalogic demonstrated a complete line of scanning solutions addressing diverse material handling and logistics challenges such as tracking, traceability, reverse logistics and inventory management among others. For environments requiring laser technology, Datalogic featured the PowerScan PM8300 premium industrial scanner as the ideal solution. The PowerScan PM8300 has excellent reading range for applications scanning codes from long distances, such as from a fork lift. With a back lighted display and a 16-key keyboard, this reader offers new, simple ways for users to interact with their host system. It also unlocks new uses for the scanner that might typically require a more expensive portable data terminal.

The PowerScan PBT7100 is Datalogic Scanning's linear imaging solution. This cordless handheld scanner features Bluetooth wireless technology, which offers the operator freedom from cable entanglement while delivering rugged durability and extremely snappy reading performance, all at an affordable price.

"The growing demand for 2D codes in material handling environments has started an industry-wide transformation from laser to imaging based technology," stated John Allen, Product Manager of Industrial Handhelds. To support this change, Datalogic offered the PowerScan PM8500 with Mega-Pixel imaging technology. This extremely ruggedized area imager offers the best omnidirectional reading of both 1D and 2D codes combined with the mobility of a cordless scanner, featuring the Datalogic STAR Cordless System.
