A bar code works in much the same way as an ordinary flashlight, by reading the reflected light from a surface, This process begins when a device directs a light beam through a bar code. The device contains a small sensory reading element. The sensor detects the light being reflected back from the bar code, and converts it to electrical energy, and in then converted to into data.

The benefits of implementing Bar codes for automated data collection are very simple: speed and accuracy. It has been proven that entering Bar-code data is approximately 100 times faster and more accurate than a manual keyboard entry, which in turn increases the accuracy, efficiency and productivity of any facilities operations.

PDT or Portable Data Terminal was specifically designed to bring the Computer to the bar code, particularly to address the jobs such as Warehouse Management and Inventory Control. A fully programmable handheld computer is necessary in such instances.

Selecting the mode of communications is very important in determining what end result your operation is attempting to achieve. Collected Data can be transferred back to the host in one of two ways.

  • A Radio Frequency communication link ­ providing real on-line real time data uplink. This often requires a more complex connection to the host which will result in a more costly implementation. When on-line real time data transfer is required RF is the method of choice.
  • Batch Data Collection is a simpler and easier process. In this method data is collected in small batches and transferred from the portable into the host computer by a serial cable connection.
  • Programming - Operating System of a PDT determines the method of programming used. Proprietary operating systems usually require knowledge of the proprietary language. Other units may use a common operating system such as DOS, MS Windows, and now Windows CE ... allowing for programming with a more common language base such as Visual Basic, Basic or C.

 

Introducing the Falcon series 330/335 by Percon. Open standards, powerful applications and ease of use allow these portable data collection terminals to integrate seamlessly into the supply chain systems of all companies involved in logistics, manufacturing, retail, warehousing and distribution.

The Falcon 335 has a sleek, environmentally sealed case, built-in, front-shooting laser. Its powerful 486 processor, running at 33 MHz, operates under DOS 6.2. The Falcon 330/335 comes with 8 MB of RAM standard, 2 MB of Flash ROM, a PC Card Slot, a 16-line screen and 38 key alphanumeric keypad. Open architecture ensures easy application development. And the Falcon 330/335 is available with PowerNet TN to support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 terminal emulation's with screen formatter, allowing swift and simple integration into your existing legacy system.

While the Falcon 330 provides ideal batch data collection solutions, the Falcon 335, our latest wireless data collection terminal, excels in data collection over wide, on-campus areas where physical distances prohibit hardwiring. Its internal antenna is protected and its 2.4Ghz spread spectrum radio features BreezeCOM, Lucent, Proxim and Symbol radio support for maximum flexibility. The Falcon 335 has raised the bar in RF, real-time data collection technology. The aptly named Falcon soars above the competition in this environment.

Image Scanning with Best-in-Class Performance Symbol introduces the Vision System 4000 Series of handheld imagers for reading all major bar code symbologies with the added capability of image capture. Based on the ergonomic design of the LS 4000 Series of handheld scanners, the VS 4000 combines best in class performance with award winning ergonomics.

For existing 1D applications, the VS 4000 provides robust working range on 1D codes, such as 13 in./33 cm on 100% UPC, with the added benefit of omni-directional scanning. More importantly, the VS 4000 delivers functionality to support the growing number of 2D applications PDF417, Datamatrix, MaxiCode and Postal Code. Whether your requirement is to read DataMatrix for small item identification, MaxiCode for parcel sorting, postal codes for mail-handling applications, or PDF417 across a variety of applications, the VS 4000 provides the aggressive performance you need.

Image Capture For image capture applications, the VS 4000 delivers clear VGA resolution images while providing the user total control over image attributes such as compression quality, transfer time, and file size. (JPEG, TIFF, BMP) User-selectable imaging options also allow the choice of a variety of industry-standard image file types. The VS 4000 Handheld Imager from Symbol Technologies ... the right solution for all your handheld image capture needs.

The feature-rich PDT 7500 Portable Data Terminal from Symbol Technologies thrives in the heat, cold and dust of even the harshest industrial environments. One of the pioneers in Symbol's line of products for extreme environments, the PDT 7500 industrial terminal, is a lightweight handheld terminal with advanced bar code scanning, data processing and communications features. Built for productivity and comfort in demanding environments, the versatile PDT 7500 links workers to data and to each other in transportation and logistics environments such as warehouses, docks, yards, and even on the road.

Designed for Extreme Environments PDT 7500 Series terminals meet the most stringent industrial standards and are sealed to IP64 specifications for protection against water and dust. The terminals are fully functional in temperatures ranging from -13º to 122ºF/-25º to 50ºC and can withstand multiple drops of 6ft/1.8m to concrete.

Weighing only 19 oz./588 gm, the terminal is light enough for extended periods of use. The push-button keypad has color-coded keys to facilitate data entry, and the 1/8 VGA screen has a crystal-clear 240 x 160 pixel resolution and a generous 30 character by 20-line display. The display is backlit so it is easily viewed - even in dimly lit areas. Symbol's innovative design includes a reverse grip and hand support that can be used in signature capture, important for proof of delivery and for tracking or tracing goods, parcels and packages.

The PDT 7500 transmits data on the dock or on the road with either batch processing on RF models that support Spectrum24® wireless LAN technology or Wide Area Networks (WANs). Symbol systems are critical to your business success in data-intensive, time-sensitive environments because our systems help you capture, access and manage information at the point of business activity.
