The new PowerScan 9600 series of industrial handheld scanners from Datalogic are designed for use in manufacturing, warehousing, and retail environments.

The scanners – available in corded or cordless models – are made to enhance productivity and efficiency through best-in-class scanning performances, and a reduced total solution cost. The scanners also offer the ability to monitor battery status and scanner health to allow simple predictive maintenance.

Datalogic product manager Loretta Chinaglia said, “PowerScan provides the user with total freedom to move around wide shop floors and large warehouses with a reliable radio communication and error-free operations, plus bidirectional communication, and prompt feedback on the display.

“The family of bar code readers are the ultimate industrial handheld scanners, designed and constructed to withstand the toughest environmental conditions.”

The series is available with three different optics to fulfill different needs. The Standard Range optic is ideal for most of the applications requiring standard barcode reading at intuitive distances.

The High-Performance optic adds the capability to decode high density codes together with an increased depth of field on standard 1D/2D codes.

The Document Capture model targets document capture applications through a colour sensor for image capture and wide angle reading to scan large codes.
