Datalogic, a company specializing in automatic data capture and industrial automation, has announced the launch of Datalogic PowerScan 9600 RFID Series. The handheld unit is designed to combine high-performance barcode scanning with embedded UHF RFID tag reading in a durable device.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID Series is designed to support operational improvements in retail, transportation and logistics (T&L), manufacturing, and healthcare. It combines standard 1D/2D barcode reading with UHF RFID functionality to help improve efficiency and data visibility.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID Series is designed to improve operational efficiency by reducing the need to manage multiple devices. It allows workers to capture barcode data and RFID tags with a trigger pull. This dual-technology approach streamlines workflows and may help shorten inventory cycle times by reducing task-switching during data collection.
Building on PowerScan’s reputation for durability, the 9600 RFID Series is designed for use in demanding industrial environments. It can withstand multiple drops to concrete, operate in a wide range of temperatures, and is rated IP65 and IP67 for resistance to dust and water. The scanner is built for reliable performance across extended shifts, helping reduce unplanned downtime.
Gain improved visibility into tagged items, including those not in direct line of sight. The advanced RFID technology can read tags through packaging, detect items inside sealed boxes, and track nearby assets without visual contact. This capability helps reduce search times and improve inventory accuracy.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID Series is designed to integrate with existing systems and support future scalability. It supports retail and industrial standard communication protocols, offering flexibility across a range of applications. Device configuration and management are handled through Datalogic Aladdin, a configuration tool that supports consistent performance and simplifies setup.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID Series is designed to help reduce operational costs by streamlining scanning processes. In retail environments, the ability to read RFID tags and label barcodes simultaneously, along with real-time operator feedback, supports inventory accuracy and may aid in loss prevention efforts.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID Series will be a offered in two cordless configurations: one with a Standard Range scan engine, another with a 16-key keypad, OLED display, and Document Capture scan engine.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID Series is compatible with all base stations and accessories from the existing PowerScan 9600 lineup. It includes Datalogic’s wireless charging system and use a plug-and-play interface for simplified connectivity.
