Datalogic Mobil has a great lineup and very innovative solutions in the market today. The technology sharing that has happened with the purchase of PSC is proving to be quite an advantage in the market.
The Datalogic Green Spot™ technology, which is a patented innovation for laser barcode readers and available only from Datalogic, has been received very well with our customer base.
In today’s environment, mobile computers need to be equipped with the latest technology, very rugged and durable and easy to use. The hand held user must maximize their productivity and the key is to have accurate work regardless of the working conditions. This is where the green spot technology comes to the rescue.
Office environments are an easy area for barcode scanners to work, but in the real world environment they are not as forgiving. Imagine scanning at the loading dock, outdoors, in a crowded retail store, on a manufacturing floor, or in a dimly lighted warehouse. These environments make data collection a real challenge. The option has been to have an audible tone and that itself is environment dependent and can get lost in these locations.
Mobile computer users have often had trouble focusing and listening for a tone on every scan that is made. Some environments allow employees to operate other items such as cell phones and mp3 players while working their shifts, and that makes listening difficult or even impossible.
The green spot technology will increase the data collection accuracy significantly by providing the visual signal on the product with each successful barcode read. These scanners also provide the standard audible tone. Here is how the green spot technology works:
The Datalogic mobile computer will project a laser onto a barcode image and then when the barcode is detected, a secondary LED light is projected as a green spot onto the barcode that is being read. The green spot is clearly seen on the barcode by the user and is also clear in bright sunlight. This provides a highly visible signal that the barcode was properly scanned.
This green spot technology is available on the Datalogic Kyman, Kyman Gun, Skorpio, and Skorpio Gun mobile computers. Customer feedback on these units has been phenomenal. When compared to other units and brands in the marketplace, Datalogic with its green spot technology is the favorite by both men and women. The units are ergonomically comfortable as well, so having the great scannability and the scan confirmation feature of the green spot with the comfort of the units all in one package is a great win for Datalogic.
