Types of Datalogic Scanners

Handheld Barcode Scanners

Datalogic’s handheld scanners are widely used in retail, healthcare, and logistics for reading barcodes quickly and efficiently. These scanners come in wired or wireless (Bluetooth) versions, with different models for varying performance needs, such as:

2D Barcode Scanners: Ideal for reading both 1D and 2D barcodes (e.g., QR codes).
Linear Barcode Scanners: For standard 1D barcode reading.
Rugged Scanners: Built for industrial environments, withstanding harsh conditions and impacts.

Fixed-Mount Barcode Scanners

These are designed for automated systems like conveyor belts or kiosks, where hands-
free barcode scanning is required. They are often used in logistics, warehousing, and
manufacturing environments.

Features: Compact, high-speed scanning, and capable of decoding various
barcode types.

Presentation Scanners

Typically used in retail, these scanners sit on a counter and allow for fast scanning of
barcodes by presenting items in front of the scanner. They are often found in
supermarkets and point-of-sale systems.

Example Models: Magellan Series – designed for high-volume retail
environments.

Mobile Computers with Integrated Scanners

Datalogic also offers mobile devices that combine barcode scanning with computing
capabilities. These are especially useful for inventory management, asset tracking,
and field services.

Features: Rugged, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled, and often with built-in cameras
for data capture.

Applications

Applications of Datalogic Scanners

Retail

Datalogic scanners are widely used in point-of-sale systems for quick and efficient barcode reading, reducing checkout times and improving customer experience. The Magellan series is often seen in retail environments for high-speed scanning.

Manufacturing

In manufacturing, Datalogic scanners are used to track products through the production process, ensuring that every item is accounted for and traceable. Fixed- mount scanners are often used on assembly lines to automate processes.

Logistics and Warehousing

Datalogic scanners are essential in logistics and warehousing for inventory management, order fulfillment, and package tracking. Rugged handheld scanners and mobile computers are used in these settings for real-time data capture and processing.

Healthcare

Datalogic scanners are used in healthcare for patient identification, medication tracking, and inventory control of medical supplies. Hygiene-friendly scanners are available with antimicrobial coatings to maintain safety standards.

Transportation

In the transportation industry, Datalogic scanners are employed to track shipments, manage cargo, and automate package handling in courier and shipping operations.

Popular Datalogic Scanner Models

Gryphon I: A high-performance handheld scanner, available in both wired and wireless models. It supports 1D and 2D barcodes and is popular in retail, healthcare, and light industrial applications.
QuickScan I: An entry-level barcode scanner that offers good performance for retail and office environments, supporting 1D barcodes.
Magellan 9400i: A multi-plane imaging scanner designed for high-volume retail checkout, supporting both 1D and 2D barcodes.
Powerscan Series: These rugged handheld scanners are designed for industrial environments, capable of reading damaged or poorly printed barcodes.

Key Features of Datalogic Scanners

Advanced Imaging Technology

Datalogic uses imager-based technology that allows for better reading of damaged, distorted, or poorly printed barcodes, even at different angles. This is especially beneficial in high-volume and fast-paced environments.

Green Spot Technology

Many Datalogic scanners include their patented Green Spot Technology, which
provides visual feedback for successful scans. This feature improves efficiency and
reduces the likelihood of scanning errors.

Durability and Ergonomics

Datalogic scanners are known for their durability, particularly the industrial-grade
models designed for rough environments. Additionally, the scanners are designed
with ergonomics in mind, ensuring comfort for users during extended use.

Wireless Connectivity

Many of Datalogic's scanners offer wireless options (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi), enabling mobile scanning across large areas without the constraints of cables. This is particularly useful in warehouse and logistics operations.

Software Integration

Datalogic provides software development kits (SDKs) for easy integration of their
scanners into various enterprise systems. Their Datalogic Aladdin™ software offers
configuration tools to customize scanning parameters.

Built on Best Practices

Datalogic scanners are highly versatile and provide robust solutions for various industries,
from retail and healthcare to manufacturing and logistics. Their advanced scanning
technology, durability, and range of products make them a top choice for companies looking
to improve efficiency, accuracy, and overall performance in their operations.
