Supply chain innovator Intermec of Sydney has launched a hand-held cordless scanner using auto-focus technology, which it claims is the first and only near-far area imager in a hand-held device.

The product will be shipped to global customers this month, including a prominent transport and logistics organisation which has ordered 30 scanners for its Sydney warehouse.

The scanner is aimed at forklift-based warehousing applications, and improves productivity by extending the operator's scanning reach and flexibility. Paired with a vehicle mount computer, it can read 1D, 2D, composite and postal codes in any orientation, from 15cm to 15 metres away.

The SR61 ex scanner, which utilises the company's proprietary Intellibeam imaging technology, enables customers to improve warehouse productivity, consolidate devices and reduce total cost of ownership, the company claims.

Operators can seamlessly transition from scanning an object in their hands, to scanning a pallet high up on a rack, to capturing an image. Tightly integrated Bluetooth wireless communication ensures smooth data transmission to the host computer, and with no cables to manage, operator safety and efficiency is also increased.

The scanner delivers an array of benefits for warehouse operations, including:

* Omni-directional scanning-no arm twisting or package moving needed to get a good read
* Improved reads at low angles-easily captures top-shelf bar codes in narrow aisles
* Reads in low light conditions-auto-illuminating feature scans accurately in dim light
* Easy to use in bright light-on-board scope assists barcode targeting outdoors
* Reads damaged or obscured codes, including barcodes covered in plastic wrap

Built to withstand harsh operating environments such as multiple drops to concrete and hot and cold temperatures, the scanner is sealed against dirt and water and comes equipped with a long-lasting lithium battery that delivers more than 10 hours of use and is easily changed, minimising downtime.
