  5/4/2010 - HONEYWELL REVELA LOS LECTORES DE REPRESENTACIÓN DE IMÁGENES POR ÁREAS

La Serie Xenon Combina Dos Tecnologías Líderes en su Clase en Un Solo Dispositivo

Fort Mill, S.C., 4 de mayo de 2010, Honeywell (NYSE: HON) hoy anunció la introducción de la serie Xenon™, la sexta generación de la empresa en lectores portátiles de representación de imágenes por áreas. Xenon es el primer lector que combina dos tecnologías comprobadas, Adaptus® Imaging Technology y el software descodificador SwiftDecoder® de Omniplanar, para crear una plataforma líder en la industria que extiende la profundidad del campo, disminuye el tiempo de lectura y mejora el desempeño de la exploración, incluyendo rendimiento y procesamiento más rápido, en casi todos los tipos de códigos de barras. Diseñado para reunir las necesidades de los trabajadores del cuidado de la salud, fabricación, postal/mensajeros y del gobierno, Xenon está disponible en dos modelos fáciles de usar: 1900 alámbrico y Bluetooth-habilitado 1902.

Xenon usa la Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0 para leer códigos de barras lineales de alta densidad, códigos de barras en 2D y aquellos que se encuentran en superficies alternativas, tales como la pantalla de un dispositivo móvil. Adaptus también proporciona capacidades enriquecidas de las capturas de imagen, incluyendo auto-cortado, filtros de nitidez y mejora de resolución que aumentan la flexibilidad y simplifica la integración en aplicaciones existentes. Combinado con el software SwiftDecoder, que mejora la habilidad del lector para descodificar los códigos de barras dañados o difíciles de leer, el Xenon brinda un desempeño de lectura inigualable.

“La serie Xenon no sólo es un progreso importante en nuestro catálogo de dispositivos lectura, sino también en la industria, ya que brinda lo mejor de dos mundos en uno para formar una plataforma de lectura con las capacidades de la próxima generación,” dijo Darius Adamczyk, Presidente de Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “En nuestras pruebas internas, Xenon funcionó mejor que otros lectores en una amplia variedad de escenarios de uso. Esperamos ofrecer a nuestros clientes esta serie de lectores ricos en características que rediseñarán la industria AIDC (Identificación Automática y Captura de Datos).”

Otra diferencia del Xenon es su sensor personalizado, optimizado específicamente para la lectura de códigos de barras para brindar una agresividad de lectura mejorada. Además, como el sensor se fabrica exclusivamente para los productos de lectura de Honeywell, ayuda a evitar problemas en la cadena de distribución con sensores de cámaras que no se encuentran en el mercado utilizados por otros lectores de imágenes por áreas. A diferencia de muchos competidores dentro del espacio de AIDC, la infraestructura interna de Xenon monta componentes críticos sobre una placa única, reduciendo la necesidad de conectores. Esto mejora la funcionalidad y la confiabilidad, mientras minimiza el tiempo de inactividad y aumenta la producción.

“Nuestros clientes demandan transacciones rápidas, eficientes y perfectamente integradas,” dijo Brad Fick, Presidente de Direct Source, Inc. “Para satisfacer esta necesidad, colaboramos con socios como Honeywell para proporcionar soluciones avanzadas de lectura. Es bueno para nuestros clientes que Honeywell sea un líder acreditado en el espacio de imágenes.”

Xenon también está equipado con la plataforma de desarrollo TotalFreedom® de Honeywell, que expande la funcionalidad de Xenon permitiendo que los plug-ins para procesamiento de imagen, descodificación y formato se carguen directamente en el lector en vez de cargarse en el sistema host. Además, el dispositivo es compatible con el software de administración de lectura Remote MasterMind® (ReM) de Honeywell, que suministra una solución rápida y conveniente para administradores TI que buscan administrar todos los lectores dentro de su red desde una ubicación remota única, permitiendo a los usuarios realizar tareas desde rastreo de activos hasta actualizaciones de software.

EZConfig, el nuevo software de configuración del lector de Honeywell, se lanza junto con Xenon. Con una interfaz gráfica de usuario (GUI) fácil de usar, el EZConfig ahorra tiempo y aumenta la productividad simplificando la configuración del lector.

El diseño de Xenon ahorra espacio y se adapta bien a las dimensiones de cualquier mano, aumentando la comodidad y reduciendo la fatiga del operador. El diseño robusto del lector es capaz de soportar hasta 50 caídas al concreto desde distancias tan altas como 1,8 metro (6 pies). Xenon también ofrece opcionalmente una versión preparada para la desinfección, para minimizar la degradación en ambientes donde los lectores deben limpiarse de manera frecuente con químicos agresivos, tales como instalaciones para el cuidado de la salud.

Los lectores Xenon alámbricos ya están disponibles, mientras que los lectores Xenon con Bluetooth® serán distribuidos en junio. Para más información sobre Xenon, visite www.honeywellaidc.com/xenon_press_release.

  1/13/2010 - UPS AND HONEYWELL SET STAGE FOR NEXT HIGH-TECH HANDHELD FOR DRIVERS

Global Deployment of 5th Version Starts in 2011;  Offers Continuous Connectivity & Industry-First Features

FORT MILL, S.C., and ATLANTA, January 13, 2010 – UPS (NYSE:UPS) and Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced they are teaming on a new-generation handheld computer for UPS drivers that will further improve communications links while adding a number of other industry-leading features.  UPS will deploy more than 100,000 Honeywell mobile computers worldwide.

Known internally at UPS as the DIAD V (Delivery Information Acquisition Device V), the Honeywell mobile computer features innovative cellular technology that provides on-the-fly switching between cellular carriers, meaning the computer can automatically jump to another cellular carrier if the preferred carrier’s signal is lost.  This industry-leading technology, when combined with Honeywell’s sophisticated 2D imaging capabilities, will further ensure the package tracking and reliability that customers expect from the world’s largest delivery company.

At approximately half the size and weight of the DIAD IV, the new, more durable mobile computer will feature:
• A state-of-the-art color display and microprocessor with substantially expanded memory – all to support driver training and future applications like navigation.  For example, the DIAD V will enable maps to be displayed to help a driver avoid a traffic jam.
• A color, auto-focus, flash camera to enhance proof-of-delivery and help resolve customer claims more quickly.
• Faster Wi-Fi support (600 mbps) to enable larger and richer content downloads such as training videos to 90,000 drivers simultaneously.
• An aggressive 2D imager that can decode many symbologies, including existing UPS linear barcodes and the UPS Maxicode, and thus speed the upload of additional package information at the time a package is first picked up.  The 2D imager also will make it even easier to “capture” a clear view of a recipient’s signature.

UPS will begin field testing the device in late 2010 with plans to begin a multi-year, global deployment in 2011. The DIAD V will be approved for operation in more than 100 countries.

 “Starting in 1991, UPS was the first in its industry to equip drivers with a handheld computer,” said David Barnes, UPS’s chief information officer.  “Over the past two decades, the DIAD has become a critical component of an integrated global network that’s now tracking more than 15 million deliveries every day.”

 “Through each successive generation of the DIAD, UPS has leveraged technology to deliver superior service by accelerating the availability of customer tracking data, and by improving our ability to communicate about customer needs with UPS drivers,” Barnes continued.  “I am confident the deployment of Honeywell’s computer as DIAD V will continue that successful trend.”

“Honeywell is committed to providing technologies that our customers demand. By introducing the industry’s first wireless mobile computer that remains continuously connected to cellular service, regardless of the local carriers available, we are delivering on this commitment once again,” said Darius Adamczyk, president of Honeywell Scanning & Mobility.

“UPS’ technical leadership and real-world application of advanced technologies is well recognized throughout the industry and Honeywell is excited to provide the platform for DIAD V,” Adamczyk added.  “We view UPS’ selection as a tribute to our investment in mobility and the development of revolutionary wireless technologies.”

  1/5/2010 - HONEYWELL INTRODUCES ENHANCEMENTS TO ITS STRATOS® 2400 PRODUCT LINE

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

Fort Mill, S.C. – 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 booth #1803 at the 99th Annual NRF Conference & EXPO from January 11–12, 2010 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City, New York.
The new extended length models will begin shipping immediately. For more information on the Stratos 2400 product line, please visit

  12/4/2009 - HONEYWELL AND SYDION ANNOUNCE SOLUTION FOR MOBILE H1N1 VACCINE ADMINISTRATION

Honeywell’s Dolphin® 9900 and Sydion’s emergency management technology provide efficient H1N1 vaccination

Fort Mill, S.C. – December 1, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that Sydion, LLC, a mobile crisis management technology company, is offering its’ patient-tracking software on Honeywell’s mobility platform to assist in the administration of the H1N1 vaccine. The system that Sydion is offering bundles Honeywell’s Dolphin® 9900 mobile computers into Sydion’s eMET®, an emergency patient tracking system, to deliver a complete offering that enables healthcare providers to effectively prepare for and manage mass H1N1 vaccine administration at locations such as hospitals, vaccination clinics or schools.

Recently made available to the public, the H1N1 vaccine is in extremely high demand due to several outbreaks of the H1N1 flu, commonly known as the “swine flu.” The mobile tracking system offered by Sydion enables healthcare facilities and public health agencies to address the public need by offering a system to track, monitor and administer available vaccines either remotely or on-site.

With eMET®, patients are provided with a bar-coded wrist band or other form of identification that includes vital information which is used to create an electronic medical record. The patient ID is entered into the eMET® central database, creating a way for medical personnel to track and prioritize all patients, based on individual needs. The system automatically transmits all patient data scanned or entered into the mobile computer to the patient’s record in the eMET® database, ensuring that physicians have up-to-date information and can follow up with the patient as needed.

“With increased anticipation around H1N1 vaccination and ongoing outbreaks, it was imperative to find a solution that will allow us to safely and efficiently serve our patients,” said Linda McAndrew, RN and Administrative Director, Trauma Program and Emergency Preparedness, Scranton Community Medical Center. “Given our previous success using eMET®, we are confident that this technology will allow our personnel to effectively administer the H1N1 vaccine, while continuing our focus on providing top quality patient care.”

“eMET® is designed with easy-to-learn technology so all medical staff can quickly adapt to the system, which is extremely vital in emergency situations,” said Nina Johnson, Managing Director, Sydion, LLC. “We chose Honeywell’s mobile computers because of their simplicity and durability, allowing medical administrators to stay connected in any type of environment and under most conditions.”

The wireless technology and rugged design of Honeywell’s Dolphin mobile computers gives the units flexibility for use in environments such as schools, offices, and indoor or outdoor locations. With this mobility, healthy patients no longer need to sit in a waiting area with sick patients, as healthcare personnel are able to travel outside of their offices to administer the vaccine. This eliminates exposing healthy patients to the illness, and enables providers to effectively immunize patients while largely reducing transmission of the virus.

For environments that may require a higher level of infection control, eMET® is available with Honeywell’s Dolphin 9900hc mobile computer. The Dolphin 9900hc is equipped with disinfectant-ready housing and is built to withstand frequent cleaning with harsh chemicals. This product allows for maximum cleanliness in any environment, helping to minimize the spread of germs from patient to patient.

“With such a prominent healthcare concern rising around the world, Honeywell is pleased that Sydion selected its Dolphin 9900 mobile computer to be a part of their eMET® offering that allows healthcare facilities to manage the process of H1N1 vaccinations,” said John Waldron, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “Through its relationship with Sydion, Honeywell is delivering on its commitment to provide devices that are being used to address the healthcare concerns of today by helping to ensure medical accuracy and increase patient safety.”

  4/3/2009 - HONEYWELL RELEASES FIRST MOBILE COMPUTER WITH DISINFECTANT-READY HOUSING

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

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. – April 3, 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.”

  2/17/2009 - HONEYWELL TEAMS WITH GAVITEC ON AREA-IMAGING SOLUTION FOR MOBILE TICKETING

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.”

  1/29/2009 - HONEYWELL DISMINUYE EL TIEMPO DE CAPTURA DE INFORMACION EN EL RETAIL CON MS7580 GENESIS

Este lector mejorado integra tecnología EAS para acelerar el procesamiento de las transacciones

Blackwood, N.J. / México, D.F. – enero 22 de 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) anunció la disponibilidad del lector MS7580 Genesis™ mejorado, para aplicaciones en el mercado detallista (retail). Los detallistas ahora pueden adquirir un kit MS7580 Génesis que soporta la desactivación de etiquetas antirrobo EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance – Vigilancia Electrónica de Productos). Estas mejoras brindan una solución más ágil en un solo paso, en vez de la tradicional operación en dos etapas: lectura y desactivación, en el procesamiento de transacciones.


El MS7580 Génesis trabaja con las dos arquitecturas más comunes para desactivación de EAS. La compatibilidad con los sistemas Sensormatic EAS puede lograrse al conectar el MS7580 Génesis a un controlador de desactivación acusto-magnético (AM) y una antena. Los detallistas que busquen conectarse a los sistemas de radio frecuencia (RF) Checkpoint EAS, solo necesitan comprar el kit correspondiente, que incluye una antena RF construida directamente en la base del lector, junto con el cable requerido para comunicaciones. La funcionalidad Interlock proporciona seguridad adicional al permitir la interacción entre el lector y el controlador de desactivación EAS, que puede ser programado y temporizado.


“Sabemos que muchos de nuestros clientes en el retail tienen tanto las unidades de lectura como los desactivadores EAS en el punto de venta”, explicó Taylor Smith, gerente senior de mercadotecnia para productos de lectura, en Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “Al traer ambas funciones, juntas, en uno solo equipo, el proceso de dos etapas se convierte (condensa) en uno. Esto permite a los empleados atender con más velocidad a los clientes, lo que se traduce para el consumidor en una mejor experiencia de compra”.

  1/29/2009 - EL NUEVO MS4980 VUQUEST™ DE HONEYWELL CABE EN CUALQUIER LUGAR Y PUEDE LEER CUALQUIER TIPO DE CÓDIGO DE BARRAS

Es un escáner versátil, compacto y con extraordinario desempeño

Blackwood, NJ / México, D.F. – enero 29 de 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) anunció la disponibilidad de su escáner MS4980 VuQuest, equipo compacto y poderoso. Sus avanzadas características, permiten una captura de información de gran calidad en lugares donde el espacio disponible es prioritario. Es ideal para aplicaciones que requieren de máxima versatilidad y gran desempeño.

Al igual que el conocido equipo Honeywell MS7580 Genesis™, el escáner MS4980 es capaz de leer prácticamente todos los tipos de códigos de barras de una y dos dimensiones, así como los PDF. El escáner MS4980 tiene una cámara de 1.2 megapixeles que puede usarse para capturar imágenes con alta resolución, por ejemplo de firmas, credenciales de identificación, productos dañados o cheques personales. Los usuarios finales tiene la opción de incorporar el reconocimiento óptico de caracteres (OCR - Optical Character Recognition), con lo cual se elimina la necesidad de hardware adicional. Su amplio campo visual permite al MS4980 leer tanto códigos de barras como fuentes OCR. Todas estas características hacen de este el escáner ideal para una gran cantidad de aplicaciones, desde el punto de venta detallista hasta los kioscos de autoservicio para sistemas móviles de boletaje, donde los códigos de barras son capturados directamente de la pantalla de un dispositivo móvil.

“Hemos recibido peticiones de nuestros clientes, solicitando un escáner compacto capaz de manejar tareas complejas de captura de información,” comentó Taylor Smith, gerente senior para Scanner Products Marketing, en Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “El MS4980 fue diseñado específicamente para satisfacer esta necesidad.”

Además de su tamaño compacto y su gran desempeño, con la plataforma de desarrollo TotalFreedom® de Honeywell, se amplía la funcionalidad del escáner, permitiendo el procesamiento de imágenes, así como la decodificación y formateo de plug-ins que serán cargados directamente en el MS4980 en lugar del sistema host. TotalFreedom proporciona a los usuarios finales y a los integradores las herramientas necesarias para desarrollar plug-ins que respondan a necesidades específicas de cualquier aplicación.  Un desarrollo de multi-interfaz inteligente permite la detección automática de cables y configuración, con lo que se reducen los costos totales del sistema.

Ya que no todas las aplicaciones requieren de la gama completa de capacidades del MS4980, este equipo se ofrece con la solución de licenciamiento flexible (FLS o Flexible Licensing Solution) de Honeywell, que da a los clientes la opción de adquirir el equipo con capacidades limitadas para decodificación. Más adelante, el cliente puede comprar licencias adicionales, para los códigos y/o simbologías que necesite leer. Taylor Smith  explica al respecto: “Nuestra solución de licenciamiento flexible permite a los clientes beneficiarse desde ahora con la funcionalidad del escáner, para luego ir acrecentando dicha funcionalidad de acuerdo con la evolución de sus necesidades de captura de información. Este tipo de licenciamiento amplía el valor y el ciclo de vida del MS4980, al mismo tiempo que reduce el costo total de propiedad del equipo.”

  1/12/2009 - HONEYWELL’S MS4980 VUQUEST™ FITS ANYWHERE AND SCANS ANY BAR CODE

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

Blackwood, NJ – January 12, 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.”

Honeywell’s MS4980 will be unveiled in booth #2231 at the 98th Annual NRF Conference & EXPO. NRF will take place from January 11–14, 2009 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City, New York.

  1/9/2009 - HONEYWELL CUTS RETAIL SCANNING TIME WITH MS7580 GENESIS

Area-imaging scanner integrates EAS technology to accelerate checkout transactions

Blackwood, N.J. – January 9, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the availability of an enhanced MS7580 Genesis™ for retail applications. Retailers now have the option of purchasing MS7580 Genesis kits that support EAS deactivation. This enhancement merges the traditional two-step retail checkout experience into a speedy single-swipe solution.

The MS7580 Genesis works with the two most common architectures for EAS deactivation. Compatibility with Sensormatic EAS systems can be achieved by connecting the MS7580 Genesis to an acousto-magnetic (AM) deactivation controller and antenna. Retailers looking to connect to Checkpoint radio frequency (RF) EAS systems simply need to purchase the corresponding kit which includes an RF antenna built directly into the base of the scanner, along with the required communication cable. Interlock functionality provides added security by allowing the interaction between the scanner and the EAS deactivation controller to be programmed and timed.

“We know many of our retail customers have both scanning units and EAS deactivators at the point-of-sale,” said Taylor Smith, Senior Manager of Scanning Products Marketing for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “By bringing both of these functions together into one complete and simple unit, the two-step process is condensed to one. This allows employees to checkout customers faster, creating a positive customer experience.”

The MS7580 Genesis has in its small form factor the technology to handle practically any scanning scenario. The unit can scan and interpret 1D and 2D bar codes, as well as a variety of OCR fonts. The MS7580 Genesis can even capture digital images. Advanced motion tolerance means that even fast swipes of bar codes can be scanned, captured and processed. Deploying the MS7580 Genesis is easy and flexible with Honeywell’s TotalFreedom® architecture, which puts processing plug-ins onto the scanner itself for simplified configuration and faster transactions.

“Honeywell's Flexible Licensing Solution (FLS) allows customers to meet their specific scanning requirements by purchasing the MS7580 Genesis with limited decoding capabilities,” says Smith. “As customers’ scanning needs evolve, licenses can be purchased to enable additional decoding functionality, eliminating the need for new imaging equipment.”

The MS7580 Genesis will be on display in booth #2231 at the 98th Annual NRF Conference & EXPO. NRF will take place from January 11–14, 2009 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City, New York.

  12/15/2008 - HONEYWELL’S AREA-IMAGING PRODUCTS NOW PROCESS ENCRYPTED NORTH CAROLINA DRIVERS’ LICENSES

Relationship with Scan Technology led to enhancement of EasyID ™ software plug-in


Blackwood, NJ, December 15, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that their recently launched EasyID software plug-in has been enhanced, enabling compatible area-imaging scanners to parse and decrypt bar code data found on North Carolina drivers’ licenses for applications involving age verification and automatic electronic form population. 

North Carolina is one of three states that utilizes encrypted PDF417 bar codes on their drivers’ licenses. Engineers from Honeywell and Scan Technology, a manufacturer and distributor of Auto-ID, data collection and point-of-sale products, collaborated to develop an enhanced plug-in that can process North Carolina’s encrypted drivers’ licenses. The plug-in was developed on Honeywell’s TotalFreedom™ platform. With TotalFreedom, end users and third-party integrators can develop plug-ins that can be embedded directly into select Honeywell imaging products, eliminating the need for time-consuming modifications to the host system. The intuitive nature of the TotalFreedom software development kit (SDK) allowed the EasyID plug-in to be modified in less than one week.

“Prior to the release of this enhanced software plug-in, retailers were unable to use the encrypted data contained within the PDF417 bar codes found on North Carolina drivers’ licenses. EasyID provides ready-to-use data to the host system, allowing retailers to perform age verification or automatic electronic form population with the single scan of a bar code,” says Taylor Smith, Senior Manager of Scanning Products Marketing for Honeywell Scanning & Mobility.

Paul Flowers, CEO of Scan Technology (STI), commented, “We are pleased to have played a role in the enhancement of Honeywell’s EasyID software plug-in. This value-added feature separates their area-imaging scanners from the competition. We look forward to offering EasyID as part of our product line."

EasyID is compatible with the following Honeywell products: MS7580 Genesis™, MS1690 Focus®, MS1633 FocusBT®, MS1890 Focus, the IS1650 and the IS4920. The software plug-in can be pre-installed on select Honeywell area-imaging scanners for out-of-the-box functionality. It can also be purchased as a standalone upgrade for scanners that have already been deployed in the field.

  9/29/2008 - HONEYWELL INTRODUCES A WIRELESS SCANNING WORKHORSE FOR DEMANDING INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS

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

Skaneateles Falls, NY – 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.

para el trabajo de dos cambios de turno, antes de requerir nueva carga. Para los clientes que
necesitan periodos de operación más prolongados, donde el tiempo fuera no es opción, las baterías
pueden ser intercambiadas sin ayuda de herramientas.

Las comunicaciones inalámbricas son manejadas via Bluetooth v2.0, lo que permite un rango máximo de 10 metros entre el lector y la base, además de eliminar los potencialmente peligrosos cables colocados en áreas de trabajo de intenso movimiento. A una misma base se pueden conectar más de siete lectores 3820i, lo que agrega valor y simplifica aquellas instalaciones que requieren múltiples lectores. Para prevenir la pérdida de información y de tiempo, el lector puede guardar más de 500 códigos de barras en la memoria, para aquellas ocasiones en que la unidad no puede transmitir a la base. Una vez que se restablece la conexión, el 3820i transmite la información almacenada. Como alternativa, el 3820i está disponible con encripción FIPS 140-2, que cumple con los requerimientos gubernamentales norteamericanos para la transmisión segura de información en forma inalámbrica, al mismo tiempo que le agrega un excelente nivel de seguridad a cualquier situación donde se maneja información sensible.

Los códigos de barras de dos dimensiones (2D) tales como el PDF147, contienen más información y están cerca de la ubicuidad, ya que se emplean en todo, desde el monitoreo de inventarios y la gestión de sistemas, hasta tarjetas de identificación personal o etiquetas de embarque. Además, el uso de códigos de barras de alta densidad es común en las industrias donde se etiquetan piezas pequeñas, como son aquellas propias de la electrónica y de la manufactura. Para satisfacer estas nuevas necesidades, Honeywell modificó su lector de códigos de barras 3800g para crear el 3800gPDF, así como el 3800gHD, con funciones adicionales que permiten a los clientes leer códigos de barras especializados.

Estos nuevos modelos proporcionan facilidad de uso y conveniencia a los usuarios de nicho, al mismo tiempo que mantienen las confiables características del legado 3800g: diseño durable y ergonómico sin partes móviles, alto desempeño de la tecnología Adaptus® Imaging 5.0 y 5 años de garantía. El lector de códigos de barras 3800gPDF es capaz de leer indistintamente los ampliamente utilizados códigos de barras bidimensionales PDF147 y los códigos de barras lineales estándar, en tanto el 3800gHD está optimizado para la captura de códigos de barras pequeños de alta densidad, en rango cerrado.

“Es mucho más fácil vender un producto cuando tenemos la confianza en que proporcionará al cliente años de uso eficiente; es por ello que elegimos los 3800g de Honeywell Imaging & Mobility”, comentó Bill Egert, presidente de SSE Technologies, importante proveedor de soluciones de captura automatizada de información y distribuidor de los productos Honeywell. “Con estos dos nuevos equipos, SSE puede ofrecer la misma propuesta de valor a clientes quem tiene requerimientos especiales en cuanto a captura de información, fortaleciendo nuestra penetración en el mercado”.

Ambos equipos, el 3800gPDF y el 3800gHD, comparten características que los hacen de uso fácil e intuitivo en una amplia variedad de ambientes. Los lectores de códigos de barras son lo bastante poderosos para asegurar precisión en su uso, aún en aplicaciones donde los códigos de barras pueden estar dañados, sucios o pobremente impresos. Una eficaz, delgada línea de trayectoria, asegura la precisión y uso intuitivo, incluso en aplicaciones donde los códigos de barras están colocados muy juntos, ya que un aviso sonoro de “buena lectura” confirma claramente una lectura exitosa.

“Estos dos nuevos productos cumplen un importante papel para proveer a nuestro clientes con la solución correcta, de acuerdo con sus necesidades”, dijo Lisa Danese, gerente de producto en Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “Los clientes que se benefician con las capacidades mejoradas de los códigos de barras PDF147, pero no tienen la necesidad o el presupuesto para una solución completa de captura de información bidimensional, ahora tienen una respuesta efectiva y accesible en costo gracias al lector de códigos de barras 3800gPDF. Además, tienen la opción del lector de códigos de barras 3800gHD, que ofrece una solución sin compromisos en los casos donde los códigos de barras de alta densidad son la parte central del flujo de trabajo para el cliente.” Para más información de Honeywell Imaging & Mobility, visite www.honeywell.com/aidc

With integrated voice and data communication, GPS and advanced Adaptus® Imaging Technology for barcode scanning and picture taking, the Dolphin 9900 lets businesses stay connected with their employees, supply chain and customers more effectively and more efficiently.

“Coming off the tremendous worldwide success of its predecessor, the Dolphin 9500, our target customer for the Dolphin 9900 are businesses that value a mobile computing platform with the latest technologies as well as comfortable and reliable use for the mobile worker all day long,” said Greg Payne, Manager of Product Marketing, Mobility Systems, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “While many manufacturers have migrated to less durable PDA-like solutions, the Dolphin 9900 class of product is being adopted across all core vertical segments, including transportation, retail, warehousing, logistics and healthcare. The 9900 fills a significant customer requirement for a device built specifically to serve applications in harsh environments that require high levels of both barcode scanning and keypad data entry. Additionally, the Dolphin 9900 delivers full Shift Plus™ battery performance—10+ hours—virtually eliminating the need to replace batteries during most work shifts. You simply cannot find this optimized balance of performance, durability and ease of use from any other mobile computing manufacturer.”

The Dolphin 9900 is Honeywell’s first solution that enables customers to capitalize on the company’s lifecycle strategy for backwards compatibility. This platform allows customers using the 

Dolphin 9500 to migrate to the next-generation Dolphin 9900 while keeping much of their legacy infrastructure—accessories, batteries and device peripherals—in place, creating the potential for significant cost savings. Additionally, user interaction with the Dolphin 9900 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.

“Our goal is to earn customers for life,” said Garrison Gomez, Director of Product Marketing, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “A major part of that strategy is creating a lifecycle model that makes it easy for a customer to upgrade to a next-generation solution. Through interface similarity and backwards compatibility with our previous generation device, we can help make migrating to the latest technology a less costly and less resource-intensive process for customers.”

The industrial-grade Dolphin 9900 is built to be an extremely reliable solution with a highly rugged design and advanced power management technology to ensure uninterrupted performance in heavy-use environments. Specifications include an IP64 rating, 5-foot drops to concrete and testing to withstand more than 2,000 3-foot tumbles. 

The Dolphin 9900’s computing architecture is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 with an Intel® PXA 270 624 MHz processor with 256MB RAM x 1GB FLASH memory to ensure fast performance in data intensive applications. An integrated Wi-Fi certified 802.11b/g radio delivers real-time network access to mission-critical information and supports advanced wireless security standards. The Dolphin 9900 is Cisco CCX v4 certified and offers multi-mode wireless connectivity (GSM/GPRS, WLAN and Bluetooth).

“Windows Mobile enables businesses to mobilize their workforces and equip them with the applications they need to optimize productivity in the field,” said Scott Horn, general manager of the Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft Corp. “The Dolphin 9900 is a great example of a mobile device that leverages our software to empower industrial mobility customers with powerful customer service-enhancing capabilities.”
