Advancements Boost Productivity at the Point-of-Sale; Two New Models Increase Flexibility

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – January 5, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced scan performance enhancements available on all Stratos 2400 five-sided, 360°-bioptic scanners. These enhancements enable cashiers to increase speed and precision when scanning GS1 DataBar™ and high density bar codes, both of which are becoming increasingly prevalent in today’s retail environment. Enhanced Stratos 2400 scanners allow cashiers to scan nearly all bar codes on the first pass and eliminate the need to hand-type hard-to-read bar codes or spend time searching for the bar code “sweet spot”—saving up to 14 seconds per product scanned. The new enhancements also help retailers prepare for the GS1 DataBar sunrise initiative.

Another enhancement to the Stratos 2400 series is the addition of a solution to address weigh-shrink. A single or three-sided flip-up weigh bar can be added to Stratos 2400 scanners, enabling cashiers to capture the full weight of oversized produce along the length or width of the platter, ensuring accuracy in produce pricing. 

“Speed and accuracy are of utmost concern in today’s retail environment, and revenue lost due to the inaccurate weighing of produce is a top concern for retailers,” said Taylor Smith, director of product management—scanning, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “Honeywell’s new scanning enhancements drive a quicker, more accurate checkout process which results in increased store profitability and customer satisfaction—two of the most fundamental goals for all retailers.”

 All new Stratos 2400 scanners are capable of supporting Honeywell’s hand-held area-imaging scanners, which are becoming more prevalent as a secondary scanner at the point-of-sale, as well as Honeywell’s linear scanners. A secondary scanner eliminates the need for cashiers to lift large or bulky items, while an area-imaging scanner provides the added benefit of allowing cashiers to scan damaged 1D bar codes that can not be read with a bioptic scanner, as well as 2D bar codes used in emerging applications, such as age verification and mobile couponing.

The introduction of two new Stratos 2400 models—a 20” (508 mm) scanner-only model and a 20” (508 mm) scanner/scale model—expands the breadth of the product line. With these new models, retailers can now deploy the  Stratos 2400 series across multiple store formats with different scanner footprints, including 13.9” (353 mm) and 15.7” (399 mm). Deploying a single scanner platform reduces training costs for support staff, as well as service costs associated with maintaining spare parts pools. Combined, these cost reductions lower the total cost of ownership.

“The new 20” Stratos 2400 scanners provide retailers with the ability to select the model that best fits each store’s needs,” said Smith. “With this option, retailers are able to implement a unified system that cuts operating costs and allows them to focus on their core business functions.” 

Honeywell’s Stratos 2400 will be on display at Wincor World, 26-28 January 2010 in Paderborn, Germany, as well as at EuroCIS, 2-4 March 2010 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The new extended length models will begin shipping immediately. For more information on the Stratos 2400 product line, please visit http://www.honeywellaidc.com/.

Popular 7600 model enhanced with location-based capability

Eindhoven ,The Netherlands. – August 29, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the release of the Dolphin 7600 mobile computer with built-in GPS-tracking hardware. The Dolphin 7600 with GPS is a feature-rich mobile computer with location-based capabilities for enhanced asset tracking and management. Businesses now have a path to easily incorporate location-based services and functions into their standard operations, and users gain the convenience of a streamlined all-in-one solution for both data collection and popular GPS functions.

Introduces Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 for Dolphin® 9900 Series;  New Dolphin 9951 with Extended Laser Scanning Options

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. – July 28, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced two advancements in the Dolphin 9900 product line: the availability of Windows Mobile 6.1 for all models in the Dolphin 9900 series, and the new Dolphin 9951 mobile computer with support for long-range bar code scanning. These two enhancements provide users with advanced technology to accommodate their mobile computing requirements.

Microsoft’s award-winning mobile operating system, Windows Mobile 6.1, is now available for all Dolphin 9900 models. Featuring a broad number of improvements for developers and customers, Windows Mobile 6.1 offers increased performance, advanced features and improved network security functions.

The second enhancement to the Dolphin product line is the release of the Dolphin 9951 mobile computer. The new device incorporates all of the proven features of the Dolphin 9950, with the addition of three long-range laser options—High Performance, Long Range and Advanced Long Range—to provide scanning functions from five up to 30 feet. Designed for scan-intensive application environments in retail or warehousing, the 9951 is ideal for situations where palettes or other coded inventory are located far away.

“Customers can easily scan hard-to-reach bar codes at the top of a warehouse shelf or across the dock, rather than finding and using a forklift or ladder to get into range” says Gomez. “The ability to scan distant bar codes from the ground saves time and increases safety.”
The rugged design of the 9951 includes the following features:

• an ergonomic pistol grip to facilitate comfortable single-handed data collection that is easy to hold over extended shifts;

New materials make the Dolphin® 9900hc resilient to liquids and solvents common in healthcare environments

Eindhoven – April 7, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the availability of the Dolphin 9900hc mobile computer with new disinfectant-ready housing, a first among leading rugged mobile solutions. The Dolphin 9900hc is specifically designed to mobilize patient safety in environments where continuous cleaning of the device is required. Facilities can reduce the risk of spreading pathogens by selecting a mobile computing solution for point-of-care applications that can be quickly and easily disinfected.

Solvents such as hand sanitizer, isopropyl alcohol, and ammonia- and bleach-based products that are used to kill pathogens also weaken normal plastics over time, creating cracks in the housing that can lead to scanning errors or equipment failure. Dolphin 9900hc increases return on investment by incorporating disinfectant-ready housing that resists the harmful effects of repeated exposure to harsh cleaning solvents.

“Traditional mobile solutions can experience cracked or broken cases that lead to down time in patient safety systems that are designed to reduce medical errors. Down time can be dangerous and costly to everyone in a healthcare environment, where cleanliness and safety are vital,” said Garrison Gomez, Manager of Mobility Marketing for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “The specially-designed Dolphin 9900hc ensures that the mobile computer will retain its case integrity for years, even after multiple cleanings around a non-stop 24-hour work cycle. With the Dolphin 9900hc’s disinfectant-ready housing, healthcare professionals can carry out the Five Rights of Patient Safety—the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route and the right time—without concern of spreading pathogens or viruses.”

The Dolphin 9900hc retains all of the features and functions of the standard Dolphin 9900, including Adaptus® Imaging Technology. The computing architecture is powered by Microsoft Windows® Mobile 6 on an Intel® PXA 270 624 MHz processor with 256MB RAM x 1GB FLASH memory to ensure fast performance in data-intensive applications. An integrated 802.11b/g radio delivers wireless communication that supports advanced wireless security standards. The Dolphin 9900hc is Cisco CCX v4 certified and offers multi-mode wireless connectivity. The unit delivers full Shift-PLUS™ battery performance of over 10 hours, increasing end user productivity by eliminating the need to replace the battery during most extended work shifts.

“With millions of transactions for medications, equipment, and records management taking place at healthcare facilities each year, any reduction in risk can result in significant cost savings,” added Gomez. “Honeywell’s Dolphin 9900hc helps manage those risks and increases the effectiveness, speed, and quality of patient care.”

Introduction of integrated pistol-grip design provides ergonomic expansion to the Dolphin 9900 series

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – April 2, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the release of the Dolphin® 9950 mobile computer, the latest product in the popular Dolphin 9900 mobile computer series. Designed to be the most ergonomic mobile computing solution for work environments requiring large amounts of data capture and information management, the Dolphin 9950 integrates a pistol-grip to facilitate comfortable single-handed data collection that is easy to hold for extended shifts.

The Dolphin 9950, powered by Windows Mobile 6, provides the latest technologies in mobile computing such as integrated application and data access technology, and advanced Adaptus® Imaging Technology for bar code scanning and picture taking.

The availability of three keypad configurations allows users to select the configuration that best matches their specific scenario—whether it be a full alpha/numeric keypad for warehouse and distribution environments or a smaller keypad with shifted alpha/numeric functions for simple retail use.

 “Windows Mobile provides a familiar and flexible experience helping workers stay connected to information they need and enhancing productivity in the field,” said Chip Vollers, senior product manager of Windows Mobile. “We’re pleased to work with Honeywell on this latest device in the Dolphin 9900 mobile computer series.”

Targeted for scan intensive environments such as back-end retail, warehousing, distribution and supply-chain, the Dolphin 9950 is simple to operate and lightweight where competitive products can be difficult and heavy. Additionally, the Dolphin 9950 delivers full Shift-PLUS™ battery performance—10+ hours—eliminating the need to replace batteries during most work shifts. Ideal for work in rough local environments, the Dolphin 9950 has an IP64-rating and is designed to survive 5-foot drops to concrete and more than 2,000 3-foot tumbles.

“Customer feedback since the launch of the Dolphin 9900 almost a year ago has been extremely positive,” said Garrison Gomez, Manager of Mobility Marketing for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “The Dolphin 9950 provides an option for customers who value the connectivity and reliability of the proven 9900 mobile computing platform in a form factor that is comfortable for long hours of scanning and data entry. We are committed to providing mobile workers with the most ergonomic and rugged solution available.”

The extended lifecycle management platform allows for migration from the Dolphin 9550 to the next-generation Dolphin 9950 while keeping much of their legacy hardware (accessories, batteries and device peripherals) in place, therefore enabling significant cost savings. Additionally, user interaction with the Dolphin 9950 is nearly identical to that of its predecessor, reducing or eliminating requirements for user training and easing the migration of software applications onto the new device.

The Dolphin 9950’s computing architecture includes an Intel® PXA 270 624 MHz processor with 256MB RAM x 1GB FLASH memory to ensure fast performance in data intensive applications. An integrated 802.11b/g radio delivers fast wireless communication that supports advanced wireless security standards. The Dolphin 9950 also offers Bluetooth® wireless connectivity.

Cette solution innovante est capable de lire des codes à barres 2D  à partir d’écrans de téléphone portable ou de PDA

Skaneateles Falls, New York – Le 30 mars 2009 - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) et Gavitec AG - mobile digit, fournisseur majeur de technologies de billetterie mobile, annoncent la disponibilité de XELIA, imageur 2D qui permet une lecture de codes à barres directement à partir d'écrans de téléphone portable ou d'assistant numérique personnel (PDA).

Dans le cadre du partenariat entre les deux sociétés, la technologie Imageur Adaptus® de Honeywell a été combinée aux solutions logicielles et matérielles spécialisées de Gavitec, pour une lecture des codes à barres sur les écrans numériques. Cette technologie répond aux besoins d'un marché en plein essor. Les consommateurs sont de plus en plus nombreux à acheter des billets ou rechercher des informations sur Internet. Les données des codes à barres sont dorénavant transmises directement par SMS sur leur téléphone portable ou PDA.

Ce procédé, désigné par le terme billetterie mobile ("mobile ticketing or m-ticketing "), marque une étape importante dans l’application numérique. En effet, les billets et coupons sont remplacés par un message électronique envoyé directement à l’utilisateur. Outre son aspect très pratique, ce procédé est d’autant plus satisfaisant car il évite ainsi la perte ou le vol de billets. Les avantages de cette « billetterie mobile » en font une solution attractive pour les concerts, les événements sportifs, les lieux de loisirs et les transports publics (trains et autres).
 
« La technologie et les communications mobiles font aujourd'hui partie de notre vie quotidienne. La billetterie mobile est donc une évolution naturelle », déclare M. Christian Steinborn, CEO, Gavitec AG - mobile digit. « Pour assurer le succès d'un projet de billetterie ou de couponnage mobile, il faut déployer l'infrastructure technologique appropriée. La plate-forme Imageur Adaptus de Honeywell est une technologie de collecte de données parfaite pour notre solution en raison de ses capacités de lecture puissantes, même si le code à barres est de mauvaise qualité. Ces caractéristiques sont essentielles dans des environnements comportant de nombreuses variables, susceptibles d'influer sur la manière dont les codes à barres sont affichés, comme pour les téléphones portables ou PDA. La combinaison de cette technologie avec nos solutions permet à Gavitec de proposer une solution de pointe. »

Gavitec produira et distribuera XELIA, lecteur de codes à barres. XELIA intègre la technologie Imageur Adaptus. Il permet la lecture performante de codes à barres 2D, notamment les codes à barres Data Matrix et Aztec, sur des écrans électroniques. Sur ce marché en plein essor de la billetterie mobile, les codes à barres 2D en raison de leur petite taille, sont les plus prisés. Ils sont en effet plus lisibles que les codes à barres linéaires classiques.

« Nous sommes heureux de travailler avec Gavitec sur une solution innovante telle que XELIA », déclare David Gantt, Global OEM Sales Leader, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. « Les applications de la technologie du code à barres sont de plus en plus diverses comme le reflètent les nouveaux besoins d’utilisation des entreprises. Parallèlement à cette évolution, les codes à barres et la technologie Imageur 2D s'imposent comme le meilleur choix pour de nombreuses applications. La billetterie mobile est un bon exemple. »

MS4980 VuQuest ist platzsparend und scannt praktisch jeden Barcode

München, 10. März 2009 – Honeywell Scanning & Mobility stellt mit dem MS4980 VuQuest einen kompakten und vielseitigen Area-Imager vor. Der Scanner kombiniert dynamisches Scannen im Presentation-Mode mit fortschrittlichen Scan-Funktionen in hoher Qualität auf engem Raum. Er eignet sich ideal für Anwendungen, die Vielseitigkeit und eine hohe Leistung erfordern.

Ähnlich wie der bewährte MS7580 Genesis kann der MS4980 nahezu alle 1D-, PDF- und 2D-Barcodes lesen. Dazu ist der MS4980 mit einer 1.2 Megapixel-Kamera ausgestattet, mit der das Gerät hochauflösende Bilder wichtiger Information wie Unterschriften, Ausweise, beschädigter Waren und Barschecks schießen kann. Bei Bedarf können die Anwender auf das Optical Character Recognition-Verfahren (OCR) zurückgreifen und damit auf zusätzliche, spezielle Hardware verzichten. Dank eines weiten Sichtbereichs kann der MS4980 besonders breite Barcodes sowie OCR-Schriften lesen. Durch diese Funktionen eignet sich der Scanner ideal für zahlreiche Anwendungen, wie zum Beispiel im Einzelhandel am Point-of-Sale, für Self-Service-Kioskterminals sowie für mobile Ticket-Systeme, bei denen Barcodes direkt über das Display mobiler Geräte erfasst werden.

Neben der handlichen Größe und der Leistungsfähigkeit profitieren die Anwender auch von der Entwickler-Plattform Honeywell TotalFreedom. Sie erweitert die Scanning-Funktionen erheblich und ermöglicht Bildbearbeitung oder Verschlüsselungs- und Formatierungs-Plug-Ins direkt auf den MS4980 und nicht auf das Host System zu laden. TotalFreedom gibt den Anwendern und Integratoren die nötigen Werkzeuge an die Hand, um Plug-Ins zu entwickeln, die den Anforderungen fast jeder Anwendung entsprechen. Ein intelligentes Multi-Interface-Design stellt eine automatische Kabelerkennung und Konfiguration sicher und senkt damit die gesamten System-Kosten.

Nicht alle Anwendungen erfordern die gesamte Palette der zur Verfügung stehenden Eigenschaften des Geräts. Der MS4980 ist daher mit der Flexible Licensing Solution von Honeywell (FLS) ausgestattet. Beispielsweise können Entschlüsselungs-Lizenzen nachgekauft werden, um auch später noch weitere Symbologien hinzuzufügen. „Unsere flexible Lizenzierungs-Lösung macht den MS4980 zu einer sicheren Investition für die Zukunft“, meint Taylor Smith, Senior Manager Scanner Products Marketing bei Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. „Unternehmen profitieren von den Funktionen des Scanners, die sie heute benötigen und bewahren sich gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit, weitere Features zu ergänzen, sollten sich neue Anforderungen beim Scannen ergeben. Damit reduziert sich natürlich auch die Total Cost of Ownership.“

Un lecteur imageur polyvalent, ultraperformant et compact

France, Paris – Le 17 février 2009 - Honeywell (NYSE : HON) annonce la disponibilité du MS4980 VuQuest, lecteur imageur compact et puissant. La combinaison de fonctions performantes de lecture en mode présentation et de fonctionnalités avancées permet une lecture de qualité dans des environnements réduits. Ce lecteur imageur est idéal pour les applications exigeant une polyvalence extrême et des performances élevées.

Comme le lecteur MS7580 Genesis™, le MS4980 peut lire quasiment tous les codes à barres 1D, PDF et 2D. Il embarque un appareil photo 1,2 mégapixel pouvant être utilisé pour prendre des photos haute résolution d'éléments, tels que des signatures, des badges d'identification, des marchandises endommagées et des chèques personnels. La reconnaissance optique de caractères évite à l'utilisateur de devoir recourir à tout autre matériel supplémentaire. Grâce à son large champ de vision, le MS4980 lit les codes à barres larges et les polices OCR. Ces caractéristiques en font la solution idéale pour de nombreuses applications, telles que les points de vente, les bornes en libre-service et les systèmes de billetterie mobile, où les codes à barres sont lus directement sur l'écran du terminal mobile.

« Certains clients ont besoin d'un lecteur compact offrant d'excellentes performances de lecture », a déclaré Taylor Smith, Senior Manager for Scanner Products Marketing, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. « Le MS4980 a été spécialement conçu pour répondre à cette attente », poursuit-il.

Outre sa taille compacte et ses performances élevées, la plate-forme de développement TotalFreedom® de Honeywell étend les fonctionnalités du lecteur en permettant de télécharger des plug-ins pour le traitement, le décodage et la mise en forme des images directement sur le MS4980 plutôt que sur le système hôte. TotalFreedom offre aux utilisateurs finaux et aux intégrateurs tiers les outils requis pour développer les plug-ins adaptés aux besoins spécifiques de chaque application. La conception intuitive à interfaces multiples détecte et configure automatiquement les câbles, réduisant ainsi le coût total du système.

L'intégralité des capacités de lecture n'étant pas nécessaire dans toutes les applications, le MS4980 est offert avec la solution de licence évolutive de Honeywell. Les utilisateurs ont ainsi la possibilité d'acheter le MS4980 avec des capacités de décodage limitées :  il est en effet possible d'acheter ultérieurement des licences de décodage pour des lectures plus avancées. « La solution de licence évolutive de Honeywell permet de pérenniser l'investissement d’un MS4980 », a précisé T. Smith. « Ainsi, nos clients bénéficient dès maintenant des fonctionnalités du lecteur, tout en conservant la possibilité d'en ajouter d’autres en fonction de l'évolution de leurs besoins. Cette solution augmente la valeur et la durée de vie du MS4980, en réduisant le coût de possession total. »

Versatile area-imaging scanner delivers aggressive performance in a compact form

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – March 5, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the availability of the MS4980 VuQuest, a compact yet powerful area-imaging scanner. The combination of aggressive presentation-mode scanning and advanced features allow for high-quality scanning in places where space is at a premium.  It’s ideal for applications requiring maximum versatility and strong performance.

Like Honeywell’s popular MS7580 Genesis™, the MS4980 is capable of scanning virtually all 1D, PDF and 2D bar codes. The MS4980 features a 1.2 megapixel camera that can be used to capture high-resolution images of important items including signatures, identification cards, damaged goods and personal checks. End users have the option of incorporating optical character recognition (OCR), eliminating the need for additional specialty hardware. A wide field of view allows the MS4980 to read wide bar codes and OCR fonts. These features make the scanner ideal for a broad range of applications—from retail point-of-sale to self-service kiosks to mobile ticketing systems where bar codes are read directly from the screen of a mobile device.

“We’ve received feedback from customers requesting a compact scanner that can handle challenging imaging tasks,” said Taylor Smith, Senior Manager for Scanner Products Marketing, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. Smith continued, “The MS4980 was designed specifically to address this need.”

Beyond small size and large performance, Honeywell’s TotalFreedom® development platform expands scanner functionality by allowing image processing, decoding and formatting plug-ins to be loaded directly to the MS4980 instead of the host system. TotalFreedom provides end users and third-party integrators with the tools necessary for developing plug-ins that meet the specific needs of any application. An intelligent multi-interface design delivers automatic cable detection and configuration, reducing overall system costs. 

Because not all applications require the full range of scanning capabilities, the MS4980 is offered with Honeywell’s flexible licensing solution (FLS). FLS lets customers purchase the MS4980 with limited decoding capabilities. Decoding licenses can be purchased in the future, enabling additional symbologies to be read. “Honeywell’s flexible licensing solution future-proofs the MS4980,” said Smith. “Our flexible licensing solution allows customers to benefit from the functionality of the scanner today, while retaining the ability to increase functionality as their scanning needs evolve. FLS extends the value and the lifecycle of the MS4980, reducing the unit’s total cost of ownership.”

The latest Honeywell products will be on display in Hall 14, Stand D54 at the EuroCIS trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 10th – 12th  February.  For more information on Honeywell Scanning & Mobility, visit www.honeywell.com/aidc or call +31 40 2901600.

Des codes à barres 2D standardisés pour lutter contre la contrefaçon de médicaments et éviter les erreurs humaines dans l’industrie pharmaceutique

France, Paris –Février 2009 - Honeywell (NYSE : HON) annonce que, dans le cadre de l’application du projet de l’Union Européenne exigeant des codes à barres 2D sur l’ensemble des emballages pharmaceutiques, sa gamme de lecteurs imageurs 2D répond déjà aux besoins des clients de ce secteur. Cette réglementation vise à garantir une transparence et une traçabilité complète de la chaîne logistique en Europe. 

L'Association européenne des Pharmaciens Hospitaliers (EAHP) et la Fédération Européenne des Industries Pharmaceutiques et Associations (EFPIA) ont toutes deux appelé à une régulation sur l'attribution d'un code 2D sur tous les emballages de produits pharmaceutiques. Après une étude complète menée par l'EFPIA, le code 2D a été la technologie retenue en raison de l'importante quantité d'informations qui peut être écrite.

La législation, actuellement à l'étude, a pour but d'améliorer la sécurité des patients en réduisant la quantité de médicaments contrefaits qui circulent sur la chaîne logistique pharmaceutique européenne. Les statistiques de l'UE, dévoilées le 19 mai 2008, indiquent que 4,1 millions de médicaments ont été confisqués par les douanes aux frontières de l'UE en 2007, soit une augmentation de 51% par rapport à l'année précédente.

Grâce à l'utilisation des codes à barres, les hôpitaux et le personnel soignant peuvent ainsi améliorer la sécurité des patients en mettant en place des processus pour respecter les cinq droits du patient dans ce domaine : le bon patient, le bon médicament, le bon moment, la bonne dose et le bon protocole.   Depuis la mise en œuvre des codes à barres, un centre médical américain a par exemple constaté une baisse de 86 % des erreurs d'administration de médicaments sur une période de neuf ans. 

« Nous proposons une gamme complète de lecteurs de codes à barres 2D, notamment des lecteurs de catégorie industrielle pour la chaîne logistique, des boîtiers résistant aux désinfectants lors de la dispense des soins en hôpitaux et des appareils pour les points de vente en pharmacie permettant une lecture efficace des codes à barres en mode présentation. En anticipant les besoins de mise à jour des codes à barres sur les emballages, Honeywell s'engage à renforcer la sécurité de la chaîne logistique européenne et à fournir des solutions adaptées aux clients du secteur de la santé », a déclaré Philippe Buidin, directeur du marketing EMEA chez Honeywell Scanning & Mobility.

Uno scanner versatile con tecnologia di lettura area imaging che offre alte prestazioni e un design compatto

Milano, 12 febbraio 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) annuncia la disponibilità di MS4980 VuQuest™, un compatto e potente scanner con tecnologia di lettura area imaging. L’unione di una potente scansione in modalità presentazione con funzionalità avanzate, permette di realizzare letture di alta qualità in luoghi dove lo spazio è ridotto. Questo nuovo dispositivo è ideale per le applicazioni che richiedono massima versatilità e solide prestazioni.

Così come il popolare MS7580 Genesis™ di Honeywell, anche il modello MS4980 è capace di leggere tutti i codici a barre 1D, PDF e 2D. Il dispositivo è dotato di una fotocamera da 1,2 megapixel in grado di acquisire immagini ad alta risoluzione di firme, carte d’identificazione, merci danneggiate e assegni personali. Gli utenti finali hanno anche la possibilità di aggiungere la funzione riconoscimento ottico dei caratteri (OCR), eliminando così il bisogno di un ulteriore hardware specifico. L’ampio campo di visione permette all’MS4980 di leggere codici a barre larghi e caratteri OCR. Queste caratteristiche rendono lo scanner ideale per un’ampia gamma di applicazioni dai POS nei negozi, ai kiosk self service, alle applicazioni di mobile ticketing, in cui i codici a barre sono letti direttamente tramite lo schermo di un dispositivo mobile.

“Molti nostri clienti ci hanno espressamente chiesto uno scanner compatto che fosse in grado di affrontare applicazioni di scansione impegnative”, ha dichiarato Taylor Smith, Senior Manager for Scanner Products Marketing di Honeywell Scanning & Mobility, “L’MS4980 è stato studiato appositamente per far fronte a questa esigenza”.

Oltre alle piccole dimensioni e alle alte prestazioni, la funzionalità di questo scanner è potenziata anche grazie alla piattaforma di sviluppo TotalFreedom® di Honeywell, che consente la creazione di applicazioni plug-in residenti sul lettore MS4980 e non sul sistema host; per l’elaborazione delle immagini e la decodifica e formattazione dei dati. TotalFreedom® offre agli utenti finali e ai system integrator gli strumenti necessari per sviluppare plug-in capaci di soddisfare le specifiche esigenze di ogni applicazione. La multinterfaccia del lettore grazie al sistema “Cable Detection”e’ in grado di autoadattarsi all’host collegato senza la necessita’ di essere programmata in maniera specifica, riducendo i tempi ed i costi di gestione.

Dato che non tutte le applicazioni richiedono l’intera gamma di funzioni di scansione, Honeywell consente utilizzare la soluzione di licenza flessibile (FLS) per l’acquisto dell’MS4980. La FLS permette ai clienti selezionare solo le funzioni di codifica del dispositivo che servono effettivamente. Eventuali funzionalità aggiuntive possono essere acquistate in un secondo momento, fornendo così la possibilità di leggere nuovi simboli. “La soluzione di licenza flessibile di Honeywell rende l’MS4980  a prova di obsolescenza,” ha dichiarato Smith “Infatti, consente ai clienti di trarre vantaggi dalle funzionalità dello scanner fin da subito e offre la possibilità di aggiungere nuove funzionalità al cambiare delle esigenze. FLS aumenta il ciclo di vita e il valore dell’MS4980, e riduce il costo totale di possesso”.

Leading-edge design reads 2D bar codes on mobile phone and PDA displays

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. – February 17, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) and Gavitec AG - mobile digit, a leading provider of mobile ticketing technologies, today announced the availability of XELIA, an area-imaging solution that scans bar codes directly from mobile phone and PDA displays.

 The alliance combines Honeywell’s Adaptus® Imaging Technology platform with Gavitec’s specialized software and purpose-designed hardware solutions to provide a product that delivers optimal reading performance of bar codes on digital displays. This technology serves a rapidly emerging market worldwide, as consumers purchase tickets or request product information and coupons online. Bar-coded data is then sent directly to their mobile phones or PDAs via SMS.

The process, known as mobile ticketing or m-ticketing, marks an important step in the digital evolution, as paper tickets and coupons are replaced with an electronic message sent directly to a mobile device. Consumer convenience and satisfaction increases as misplaced or stolen tickets become a thing of the past. By delivering improved efficiency and cost reduction, m-tickets and m-coupons are an attractive option for concerts, sporting events and entertainment complexes in addition to trains and other forms of public transportation.
 
“Mobile technology and communications has become part of our everyday lifestyle, therefore m-ticketing is a natural evolution in this trend,” says Dr. Christian Steinborn, CEO, Gavitec AG - mobile digit. “The key to an effective m-ticketing or m-couponing program is deploying the right technology infrastructure. Honeywell’s Adaptus Imaging Technology platform is the ideal data collection technology to power our solution because of its aggressive read rates and ability to accurately decode poor quality bar codes. These features are critical in environments with lots of unknown variables that can affect how a bar code is displayed — the exact same conditions where mobile bar codes operate. Combined with our hardware and software design, we feel confident that Gavitec delivers a best-in-class solution.”

Gavitec will produce and distribute XELIA, a bar code reader that incorporates Adaptus Imaging Technology to enable high-performance reading of 2D bar codes, including Data Matrix and Aztec codes, from electronic displays. As mobile ticketing gains momentum, 2D bar codes are the preferred type due to their small size and improved readability over basic linear bar codes.

“We are excited to work with Gavitec on an innovative solution like XELIA,” says David Gantt, Global OEM Sales Leader, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “As the uses of bar code technology become more diversified and companies use bar codes in more creative ways, 2D bar codes and area-imaging technology are becoming the solution of choice for many applications – m-ticketing is a true example of this phenomenon.”

Honeywell-Datenerfassungsgeräte erhöhen Sicherheit für Patienten und die Öffentlichkeit

München, 21. Januar 2009 – Die Produktfamilie der Area-Imager von Honeywell Scanning and Mobility (früher Hand Held Products) erfüllt jetzt die Anforderungen der geplanten EU-Richtlinie im Gesundheitsbereich. Diese gibt vor, dass innerhalb der Europäischen Union  sämtliche medizinischen Verpackungen mit 2D-Barcodes ausgestattet werden müssen. Ziel ist es, die Transparenz zu erhöhen und die Rückverfolgbarkeit innerhalb der komplexen europäischen Lieferkette zu gewährleisten.

Sowohl die European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) als auch die European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) haben sich für eine derartige Regelung ausgesprochen. Als Resultat einer umfangreichen Studie  der EFPIA wurden 2D-Barcodes als die am besten geeignete Technologie ausgewählt. Dafür sprach vor allem die Fähigkeit, große Mengen an Informationen auf sehr kleinem Raum speichern zu können.

Das geplante Gesetz soll die Patientensicherheit verbessern. Zum einen soll so die Anzahl der gefälschten Medikamente innerhalb der europäischen Lieferkette verringert werden. Laut einer EU-Statistik  vom 19. Mai 2008 wurden 2007 an den EU-Grenzen 4,1 Millionen medizinische Artikel sichergestellt. Das bedeutet eine Steigerung von 51 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Zum anderen können Krankenhäuser und Pflegepersonal die Patientensicherheit erhöhen, indem sie Prozesse einführen, die die so genannten fünf Grundsätze für mehr Patientensicherheit unterstützen: das passende Medikament für den richtigen Patienten zur richtigen Zeit in der richtigen Dosierung und korrekten Anlieferung.

Ein Beispiel aus den USA verdeutlicht den Nutzen, der mit dem Einsatz der Barcodes verbunden ist. Dort berichtet ein medizinisches Zentrum, dass seit der Umstellung auf Barcodes vor neun Jahren die falsche Verabreichung von Medikamenten um 86 Prozent verringert werden konnte.

Blackwood, NJ – December 23, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) and Datalogic announced today that they have reached an agreement that settles all pending disputes between their companies. The Honeywell companies involved in the settlement are Honeywell Scanning and Mobility, Metrologic Instruments, Hand Held Products, Omniplanar and their subsidiaries and affiliates.

Neuer Dolphin 7850 erfasst per Laser weit entfernte Barcodes

Dortmund, 15. Dezember 2008 – Honeywell Scanning and Mobility (früher Hand Held Products) präsentiert eine neue Version des Dolphin 7850: Der mobile Computer verfügt künftig über drei verschiedene Laser-Scan-Optionen, die die Datenerfassung über größere Distanzen hinweg erleichtern. So können Nutzer auch schwer zugängliche Barcodes, wie sie beispielsweise in der Lagerhaltung auftreten, problemlos scannen. Das Gehäuse des neuen Dolphin ist vor Wasser, Staub und Stößen geschützt. Neue Technologien optimieren außerdem den Energieverbrauch.

Vorteile des 7850 sind seine hohe Leistung und Lebensdauer. Zudem ist er einfach zu handhaben. Vergleichbare mobile Rechner haben in der Regel das Format größerer PDAs und lassen sich nur nachträglich mit einem Haltegriff versehen. Der kompakte Dolphin bietet ein nach schräg oben gerichtetes Display, das während des Scannens für eine gute Übersicht sorgt. Der integrierte Pistolengriff liegt auch bei längeren Arbeitsschichten komfortabel in der Hand. Ein weiteres Highlight ist das robuste Gehäuse, dessen innerer Rahmen aus einer Magnesiumlegierung besteht. Es hat in Tests bereits mehrere Stürze aus eineinhalb Metern Höhe und mehr als 2.000 Stürze aus einem Meter Höhe auf Beton überstanden. So ist der Dolphin 7850 gerüstet für den langjährigen zuverlässigen Einsatz im Einzelhandel oder in der Lagerhaltung.

Die drei Scan-Einstellungen des neuen Dolphin – High Performance, Long Range und Advanced Long Range – sorgen für einen zuverlässigen Einsatz über Entfernungen von eineinhalb bis neun Meter hinweg. Der Dolphin kann so Barcodes von Produkten auf Regalen, Paletten und Laderampen aus großer Distanz lesen. 

Der mobile Computer läuft mit Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. Die integrierte Wi-Fi-Option, die 802.11b/g-zertifiziert ist, stellt den Zugriff auf Daten im Netzwerk in Echtzeit sicher und bietet eine standardisierte Plattform, um Applikationen zu entwickeln. Unternehmen können die Leistungsfähigkeit des Intel-Prozessors und die Größe des Speichers entsprechend späteren Einsatzbedingungen auswählen. Bedingt durch die integrierte Shift-PLUS-Technologie verbraucht das Gerät wenig Strom. So stellt der Akku beispielsweise für mehr als zehn Stunden Dauereinsatz Energie bereit.

Eric Lazo, Director of Marketing and Business Development bei Ryzex, Inc., einem Partner von Honeywell, kommentiert: „Ryzex bietet ein breites Angebot an bewährten Lösungen, das sich an die unterschiedlichsten Kundenansprüche richtet. Der Dolphin 7850 ist die optimale Lösung, wenn ein intensiver mobiler Einsatz ansteht. Die neuen Funktionen machen das Gerät für einen noch größeren Nutzerkreis attraktiv, denn gerade in der Lagerhaltung oder in Auslieferungszentren ist es wichtig, Daten auch über größere Reichweiten hinweg erfassen zu können.“

„Die neuen Funktionen des 7850 zeigen, dass Honeywell seine Produkte fortlaufend weiterentwickelt, um die Ansprüche seiner Kunden zu erfüllen“, sagt Philippe Buidin, EMEA Marketing Leader bei Honeywell Scanning and Mobility.

Bar Code Scanners Provide Greater Safety for Customers and the Public

EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands – December 15, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that its full line of area-imaging scanners meet the requirements of healthcare customers preparing for the planned EU initiative that will require 2D bar codes on all pharmaceutical packaging within Europe. The regulation aims to provide transparency and full traceability within the complex European supply chain. 

The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP) and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) have both called for a regulation that requires pharmaceuticals to carry a 2D bar code on their packaging. After an extensive study  by the EFPIA, 2D bar codes were selected as the technology of choice due to their ability to store large amounts of information in limited amounts of space. 

The pending legislation is designed to improve patient safety by reducing the level of counterfeit medicine within the European pharmaceutical supply chain. EU statistics  released on 19 May 2008 confirm that 4.1 million medicinal articles were detained at EU customs borders in 2007, a 51% increase over the previous year. 

Hospitals and nurses can take further action to improve patient safety by instituting processes to ensure what is known as the five rights of patient safety: right patient, right drug, right  time, right dose and right route of delivery. The use of bar coding in healthcare settings can dramatically improve patient safety. A United States-based medical center reported an 86% reduction in medication errors over a nine-year period, since the implementation of bar coding.  “We offer a complete range of area-imaging bar code scanners, including industrial-grade scanners for the supply chain, disinfectant-ready housings for point-of-care in hospitals and high-throughput presentation scanners for point-of-sale in pharmacies. By meeting the needs of the anticipated packaging code updates, Honeywell aims to further ensure a safe and secure European pharmaceutical supply chain, and to provide our healthcare customers with the required solutions,” said Philippe Buidin, EMEA Marketing Leader, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility.

New long-range laser scanning in the latest Dolphin® 7850 Mobile Computer

Skaneateles Falls, NY – December 12, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the latest release of its popular Dolphin 7850 Mobile Computer. Designed to be the ultimate scanning solution for in-premise mobile data collection, the Dolphin 7850 features a water, dust and shock resistant casing, power management, and now three new long-range laser scanning options that bring distant or hard-to-reach bar codes into user’s hands.

The 7850 is developed for high performance, high endurance, and easy ergonomic operation. Similar mobile computers on the market are typically larger, flat PDA-style devices retrofitted with an add-on grip handle underneath. In contrast, the compact and lightweight 7850 has an upward angled screen for convenient viewing and a comfortable integrated pistol grip that is easy to hold during extended shifts. The rugged chassis, composed of an internal magnesium alloy frame, has been tested to endure multiple drops onto concrete from 1.5 meters and over 2,000 tumbles from 1 meter, guaranteeing reliable operation and durability in retail and warehouse environments.

“At Ryzex, we offer a wide variety of best-of-breed solutions to ensure our customers have what they need for their specific applications,” said Eric Lazo, Director of Marketing and Business Development of Ryzex, Inc. “Honeywell’s Dolphin 7850 is our recommended solution for scan-intensive mobile computing applications. The new extended range laser scanning options enable us to deliver the superior usability and value of the 7850 to a broader range of customers in markets like warehousing and distribution where long-range scanning is a must.”

The three new scanning options available for the 7850 – High Performance, Long Range and Advanced Long Range – provide usability from five to up to 30 feet, meeting the requirements common in warehouse and distribution environments where bar codes residing on shelves, pallets and loading docks must be read from extreme distances.

“The addition of long-range scanning into the 7850 reinforces Honeywell’s commitment to continually expanding our product line to meet customer needs,” said Garrison Gomez, Senior Product Manager of Mobility Product Marketing for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility.

The mobile computer, running Microsoft® Windows Mobile 5.0 and featuring integrated 802.11 b/g WiFi communication, provides real-time access to information between the enterprise and the mobile worker while providing a standardized platform for application development. A variety of Intel® processor speeds and memory configurations gives you the choice to use the right amount of computing power. With the incorporated Shift-PLUS™ power management technology, the 7850 can perform for 10 hours or more on a single charge, allowing complete coverage over a standard or prolonged work shift.

Dirt, Moisture and Noise Are No Match for Powerful Hand-Held Scanner with Tough and Rugged Chassis

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – Sept. 25, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced its newest addition to the 3800 linear bar code scanner family to meet the needs of customers who require maximum durability from their bar code scanning solution. Designed for use in manufacturing, backroom retail, warehouse and distribution or other extreme industrial environments, the new 3820i Industrial Cordless Linear Imager is ready to use indoors or outdoors in a range of temperatures and operating conditions where less rugged barcode scanners won’t survive.

Based on the benefits of a proven product line, the 3820i builds on many of the reliable design and technology benefits of the 3800 — no moving parts, integrated Adaptus® Imaging Technology 5.0 and an optimized blend of ergonomics and durability.

Founded on performance and endurance, the 3820i is backed by a three-year warranty and has been tested to withstand fifty drops onto hard concrete from six-and-a-half feet (two meters), simulating standard industrial conditions. Independently IP54 certified, the 3820i is water and dust resistant, making it the ideal solution for any environment where dirt and moisture render other scanners unusable. The device withstands temperatures ranging from below freezing to extreme heat while still providing enough power to read bar codes that are dirty or damaged from intense environments. An adjustable good-read beep and highly-visible dual LEDs let workers know they’ve captured successful scans even where noisy conditions prevail.

“To achieve the highest ROI possible, industrial enterprises require scanning solutions that are built specifically to fit their work environments,” said Melissa Fiutak, Manager of Product Marketing for Hand-Held Imagers, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “We’ve combined class-leading ergonomics and durability with innovative battery management and high-performance bar code scanning to deliver a solution that’s optimized for improving productivity in the harshest applications.”

The 3820i can operate for long periods of time while still being ergonomic and easy to use. The battery works for 50,000 scans or over 16 hours, enough to work over two shifts before requiring a charge. For customers requiring even longer periods of service in situations where downtime is not an option, batteries can be easily swapped without any tools.

Wireless communication is handled via Bluetooth v2.0, allowing a maximum range of 33 feet (10 meters) between the scanner and the base, and eliminating potentially dangerous cables from fast-paced work areas. Up to seven different 3820i units can connect to a single base, adding value and simplicity to installations that require multiple scanners. To prevent loss of information and wasted time, the scanner can keep up to 500 bar codes in memory for times when the unit is unable to transmit to the base. Once a connection is re-established, the 3820i will transmit the stored data. As an option, the 3820i is available with FIPS 140-2 encryption, meeting U.S. Government requirements for secure wireless data transmission and adding an enhanced level of security for any situation that handles sensitive information.

La linea di scanner 3800g si arricchisce di due nuovi modelli per la lettura di codici specifici 
 

Milano, 3 settembre, 2008 - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) presenta due nuove versioni del noto scanner 3800g: il 3800gPDF e il 3800gHD sono progettati per offrire nuove capacità nella lettura di codici specifici, in particolare nei mercati dell’elettronica e del manufacturing. I codici a barre stacked, come ad esempio il PDF417 (che consiste di 17 moduli, ciascuno contenente 4 barre e spazi), sono in grado di contenere un maggior numero di informazioni e sono sempre più utilizzati dalla gestione degli inventari, alla gestione dei sistemi, alla gestione di carte per l’identificazione e alla gestione di etichette per le spedizioni. Inoltre, l'uso dei codici a barre lineari ad alta densità (HD) è molto diffuso nelle aziende che devono etichettare prodotti di dimensioni ridotte, come ad esempio gli apparecchi elettronici e i prodotti manufatti. Per rispondere a queste nuove esigenze, Honeywell ha modificato uno dei propri prodotti di punta, il 3800g, e realizzato il 3800gPDF e il 3800gHD, che integrano nuove funzioni in grado di consentire la lettura di questi codici a barre specifici.

The 3800gPDF and 3800gHD Bring Two-Dimensional and High Density Barcode Scanning to the Proven 3800g Product Line

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – Aug. 28, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the introduction of two new versions of the globally-renowned 3800g linear barcode scanner to expand customers’ ability to read specialized barcodes, particularly in electronics and manufacturing sectors.

Two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, such as PDF417 barcodes, hold more data and are now nearly ubiquitous, appearing on everything from inventory tracking and management systems to ID cards and shipping labels. Additionally, the use of high density (HD) linear barcodes is common among industries required to label small items, such as those found in the electronics and manufacturing sectors. To meet these new demands, Honeywell modified its top-selling 3800g scanner to create the 3800gPDF and 3800gHD with added functions so customers can read these specialized barcodes.

These new models give niche users unsurpassed ease of use and convenience, and have the reliable features of the legacy 3800g: an ergonomic and durable design with no moving parts, high-performance Adaptus® Imaging Technology 5.0 and a 5 year warranty. The 3800gPDF is capable of swipe-reading the widely used two-dimensional PDF417 barcodes in addition to standard linear barcodes, while the 3800gHD is optimized for close range scanning of small high density barcodes.

“It certainly makes it easier to sell a product when we have the confidence that it will provide the customer with years of dependable use – that’s why we rely on Honeywell’s 3800g,” says Andreas Ringwald, Product Manager at SICK - a leading provider of Auto Ident technologies and solutions - and major reseller of Honeywell products in Europe. “With these two new offerings, SICK can provide an extended value proposition to customers who have specialty scanning requirements.”
Both the 3800gPDF and 3800gHD share features that are easy and intuitive to use across a range of environments. The scanners are powerful enough to read barcodes that may be damaged, dirty or poorly printed. A crisp, thin aiming line ensures accuracy and intuitive use, even in applications where barcodes are packed tightly together, while an adjustable “good read” beep clearly confirms a successful scan.

“These two new products fill important roles in providing the right solution to our customers based on their needs,” says Lisa Danese, product manager for Handheld Imaging at Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “Customers who benefit from the enhanced data capabilities of PDF barcodes but don’t have the requirement or the budget for a full 2D scanning solution now have a cost-effective answer with the 3800gPDF. In addition, the 3800gHD offers a no-compromises solution when high density barcodes are central to a customer’s workflow.”

Neue Scanner der Produktfamilie 3800g lesen zweidimensionale Codes sowie Codes mit hoher Dichte

Dortmund, 25. August 2008 – Honeywell Imaging and Mobility präsentiert zwei neue Scanner aus der Produktfamilie 3800g: Mit ihnen können Unternehmen spezielle Barcodes erfassen wie sie vor allem im Elektronik- und Maschinenbaubereich zum Einsatz kommen. So kann der 2D-Barcode PDF417 beispielsweise mehr Daten als der klassische Barcode speichern. Er kommt bei der Kennzeichnung von Inventar, Management-Systemen, Identifikationskarten oder Versandlabels zum Einsatz. Lineare Barcodes mit hoher Dichte sind insbesondere dann geeignet, wenn es darum geht, kleine Gegenstände zu kennzeichnen. Um diese neuen Anforderungen zu erfüllen, hat Honeywell seine 3800g-Scannerfamilie überarbeitet und die Geräte 3800gPDF und 3800gHD mit neuen Funktionen ausgestattet: Die speziellen Barcodes sind jetzt kein Problem mehr.

Bei der Entwicklung hat Honeywell besonderen Wert auf Ergonomie und Langlebigkeit gelegt: So werden keine beweglichen Teile verbaut, die leistungsfähige Adaptus Imaging Technologie 5.0 kommt zum Einsatz und auf die Geräte gibt es fünf Jahre Garantie. Der 3800gPDF kann zusätzlich zu den normalen linearen Barcodes  mittels „Swipe-Reading“ die weit verbreiteten zweidimensionalen PDF417-Barcodes lesen. Dagegen ist der 3800gHD für das Scannen im Nahbereich von kleinen Codes mit hoher Dichte prädestiniert.

„Produkte verkaufen sich leichter, wenn wir die Gewissheit haben, dass die Kunden das Gerät viele Jahre zuverlässig nutzen können. Daher verlassen wir uns auf den 3800g von Honeywell“, sagt Andreas Ringwald, Product Manager bei SICK, ein führender Anbieter von Autoident-Technologien sowie -Lösungen und Reseller von Honeywell-Produkten in Europa. „Mit den zwei neuen Geräten kann SICK Kunden mit speziellen Scanning-Anforderungen einen Mehrwert bieten.“

Sowohl der 3800gPDF als auch der 3800gHD zeichnen sich durch Features aus, die einfach und intuitiv in den verschiedensten Arbeitsumgebungen zu nutzen sind. Die Scanner können selbst beschädigte, schmutzige oder schlecht gedruckte Barcodes lesen. Eine exakt sichtbare, dünne Ziellinie stellt Genauigkeit und intuitiven Gebrauch sicher – sogar wenn Barcodes eng neben einander platziert sind. Ein selbst einstellbarer Ton zeigt dem Anwender an, dass der Code erfolgreich erfasst wurde.

 „Die zwei neuen Produkte spielen eine wichtige Rolle in unserer Philosophie, den Kunden stets die passende Lösung für ihre Anforderungen zu bieten“, sagt Gerhard Müller, Regional Sales Director Zentraleuropa bei Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. „Kunden, die von den erweiterten Datenfähigkeiten der PDF-Barcodes profitieren wollen, aber keine vollständige 2D-Scanning-Lösung kaufen möchten, haben mit dem 3800gPDF jetzt eine kostengünstige Alternative.

ISO Acknowledgement for Multipurpose Barcode

EINDHOVEN, HOLLAND, April 24, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the approval of the ISO status of the 2D Aztec code classified as "ISO/IEC 24778 - Information technology - Automatic identification and data capture techniques - Aztec Code bar code symbology specification".

The 2D Aztec code was originally developed by Hand Held Products, recently acquired by Honeywell. The Aztec code’s reliability and versatility make it ideal for applications in transportation, rail, healthcare and mobile ticketing.

Even though Aztec is a public domain code widely used across the world by large and small corporations, it is now ISO certified in response to demand. It is expected that large organizations and certain customer segments will value the fact that the code is now ISO certified.
“Having Aztec code ISO certified reinforces its true value and acknowledges its versatility.” said Roel Vreeburg, Senior VP and General Manager at Honeywell Imaging and Mobility, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA).

The Aztec 2D code has proved to be revolutionary since its introduction, offering multiple significant advantages compared to other 2D codes. The Aztec code enables orientation-independent scanning with no white space required beyond the boundaries of the code, so it can be easily used on any kind of background. Its finder pattern is in the middle of the code and the data is layered around it, which means the code can be placed on corners (of e.g. displays) and can still be read. The code also offers sophisticated error correction which accounts for better readability – even when extensively damaged, and it is on average the smallest 2D barcode available today.

“We have already witnessed enormous growth over the past few years in companies using the Aztec code in varying environments. The ISO certification will encourage more extensive use of this code,” said Taco van Weijen, Sales Manager OEM at Honeywell Imaging and Mobility EMEA.
