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 http://www.honeywellaidc.com/.

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.”

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.”

New and existing scanning and mobility products are on display under Honeywell's banner at booth #2231.

“NRF provides an ideal platform for Honeywell to exhibit its retail-oriented products and services as a new business,” said Darius Adamczyk, President of Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “Many people in the retail industry have come to know and trust both of the companies which are now part of Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. Combined, we provide one of the broadest product lines in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) space.”

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.

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.

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.

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

Los lectores de códigos de barras sin cables de Honeywell están entre los primeros en ofrecer encriptación certificada FIPS 140-2 para la mejorar en la seguridad de TI

Skaneateles Falls, NY / México DF – abril 21, 2008. - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) anunció que sus lectores de códigos de barras inalámbricos ya están certificados en forma independiente respecto al cumplimiento del nivel de seguridad 140-2 FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard, por sus siglas en inglés), requerido por las entidades del gobierno norteamericano. Honeywell es uno de los primeros fabricantes de equipos para la identificación automatizada y  captura de información (AIDC - Automatic Identification and Data Capture), que tiene disponibles sus escáner certificados con FIPS.

Los tres principales modelos de lectores sin cables de Honeywell – el escaner de imágenes lineales 3820, el escáner de imágenes 2D 4820 y el escáner industrial de imágenes 2D 4820i -, ahora están disponibles con la opción de un módulo de validación de seguridad FIPS.

Los especialistas gubernamentales de The Culver Group han confiado a lo largo de varios años en los escáner inalámbricos de Honeywell para proporcionar tecnología de captura de información confiable y de alto desempeño, a sus instalaciones de atención a la salud correspondientes al Department of Veteran’s Affaire (VA) .

“Necesitábamos un fabricante que tomara la iniciativa e implementara la certificación FIPS en sus escáner inalámbricos, que es exactamente lo que hizo Honeywell, lo cual nos permitió ayudar al VA para continuar con su iniciativa de seguridad y preservar la privacidad de sus pacientes”, explicó Brian Czawlytko, gerente de ventas gubernamentales en The Culver Group.

La validación FIPS 140-2 asegura que una tecnología específica de seguridad ha pasado rigurosas pruebas bajo los programas CAV (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation) y CMV (Cryptographic Module Validation), a través de un laboratorio acreditado independiente, y que puede ser usada para información sensible. La encripción FIPS, no obstante ser requerida en este momento sólo por el gobierno norteamericano, es valiosa para cualquier organización o negocio donde la información es transmitida inalámbricamente y existe la necesidad de mejorar laseguridad.

“Aunque en este momento FIPS sólo es requerido por el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos, nosotros encontramos que tiene gran valor poder proporcionar capacidades mejoradas de seguridad para todos nuestros clientes, aún cuando no sea un requerimiento de su industria”, dijo Don Flynn, VP y GM de Image Scanning, en Honeywell Imaging & Mobility. “La certificación FIPS nos permite entregar una solución más robusta al mercado.

Honeywell Cordless Barcode Scanners among First to Offer  FIPS 140-2 Certified Encryption for Enhanced IT Security

Skaneateles Falls, NY – April 21, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced its line of cordless handheld image scanners are now independently certified to meet the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 security level required by U.S. government departments. Honeywell is one of the first automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) manufacturers to deliver FIPS-certified cordless handheld barcode scanners.

Honeywell’s three main cordless scanners—the 3820 Cordless Linear Image Scanner, 4820  Cordless 2D Image Scanner and 4820i Industrial 2D Cordless Image Scanner—are now available with the option of a FIPS-validated security module.  

Government specialist The Culver Group has relied on Honeywell cordless scanners for several years to provide the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) healthcare facilities with reliable, high-performance data collection technology.

“We needed a manufacturer to take the initiative and implement FIPS into a cordless scanner, which is exactly what Honeywell did, enabling us to help the VA continue its IT security initiative and preserve the privacy of their patients,” said Brian Czawlytko, Government Sales Manager at The Culver Group.

FIPS 140-2 validation ensures that a specific security technology has passed rigorous testing under the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) and CMVP (Cryptographic Module Validation Program) by an accredited third-party laboratory, and can be used to secure sensitive information. FIPS encryption, while presently required only by the U.S. government, is valuable to any business or organization where data is transmitted wirelessly and there is a need for enhanced security.

“While required solely by the U.S. federal government at this point, we see great value in the ability to provide enhanced security capabilities to all of our customers, even if it’s not a mandate in their industry,” said Don Flynn, VP and GM of Image Scanning, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “FIPS certification enables us to deliver an overall more robust solution to the market.”

Esto disminuye para los usuarios la necesidad de doblar continuamente las muñecas durante su uso.

“Diseñamos cada aspecto del 7850 teniendo específicamente en mente la satisfacción de las necesidades del usuario y de sus aplicaciones”, dijo Scott Garmon. Mobility Systems Product Manager en Hand Held Products. “El 7850 fue construido desde su base para servir a los trabajadores móviles: otras computadoras móviles que existen en el mercado, son productos basados en otras aplicaciones y que no fueron diseñados para ser tomados por un mango de soporte integrado. Levanta un Dolphin 7850 y sentirás inmediatamente la diferencia”.

Con el avanzado Shift-PLUS™ Power Management, el 7850 hace posible el escaneo intensivo para aplicaciones que utilicen radio frecuencia en forma continua por 10 horas o más, con la entrega ininterrumpida de procesamiento de información y mejora en la productividad del trabajador. La tecnología Adaptus™ Imaging 5.0, le agrega una gran habilidad para el escaneo omnidireccional, rápido y efectivo, de todo tipo de códigos de barras, además de captura digital de imágenes y capacidades de configuración del dispositivo.

El 7850 está construido con especificaciones de tipo industrial que incluyen IP64 rating, múltiples caídas de 5 pies y está probada con más de 2 mil caídas desde un metro de altura. Los componentes industriales del 7850 mitigan la obsolescencia forzada, típica de los productos basados en tecnologías para el consumo no industrial.

El 7850 está dotado con Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 y con el procesador Intel® PXA270 520 MHz. Un radio integrado Wi-Fi certificado 802.11b/g, proporciona acceso a redes en tiempo real, para información de misión crítica, y soporta estándares avanzados de seguridad inalámbrica, que incluyen WPA y WPA2 Enterprise.

“La plataforma Windows Mobile equipa a los desarrolladores con las herramientas necesarias para crear aplicaciones de cómputo móvil enriquecidas, a la medida de las necesidades individuales de cada empresa”, explicó John Dietz, Group Product Manager en Microsoft Corp.”Estamos muy contentos de que Hand Held Products incorpore tecnología de Microsoft en un dispositivo fácil de usar que permite a los trabajadores colectar información específica, manteniendo su productividad mientras están en movimiento”.

Hand Held Products® and Pharmitas Partner to Enable Compliance with the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y., and Bellevue, Wash. – Aug. 8, 2007 – There’s a growing epidemic concerning over-the-counter medicines containing the ingredients ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine (PSE products), which are being used to produce the illegal drug methamphetamine.

The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (CMEA) regulates the sale and purchase of select non-prescription PSE products, and requires retailers to log, track and report these PSE product transactions. Logbooks must be retained for two years.
 
Pharmitas, Inc., and Hand Held Products have partnered to offer solutions that enable retailers and pharmacists to comply with the CMEA by electronically capturing and managing PSE product transactions.

Many retailers are using paper-based logbooks to manually record consumers’ driver’s license information, purchase details and signatures. But a paper system creates challenges for everyone involved. It’s time-consuming for consumers, presents risks to retailers if logs are not secure and accurate, and is difficult and time-consuming for law enforcement to monitor and identify illegal activity. 

The Pharmitas Pharmacy Solution allows retailers to replace their manual paper-based logbooks with its electronic data capture and management system. The Solution is driven by proprietary software developed by Pharmitas that can be used with the Hand Held Products Image Kiosk™ 8570 or the Dolphin® 7900 Mobile Computer. 

“Through our partnership with Pharmitas, retailers can fully comply with the CMEA mandate while serving more consumers faster. By eliminating cumbersome paper-based processes, pharmacists and retailers increase their productivity and save time,” said Garrison Gomez, Director, Mobility Systems Business Unit, Hand Held Products.

Using either the mini-kiosk or mobile computer, retailers scan the 2D barcode or swipe the magnetic stripe on the consumers’ driver’s license to auto-populate their ID information into the log. Retailers then scan the PSE product’s UPC label, which automatically and instantly confirms if the consumer is within the legal purchase limit.

The consumer verifies the sale with an electronic signature, and the transaction information is sent and stored to a secure database and server.

“Hand Held Products’ innovative technology and expansive customer base will provide unprecedented access to the pharmacy channel for our software solutions,” said Chris Parsons, President and Chief Executive Officer at Pharmitas, Inc. “Given the potential growth opportunities, we expect this partnership to significantly expand our market share.”

Powered by Adaptus® Imaging Technology 5.0, the IK8570 and Dolphin 7900 enable fast, omni-directional scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes. Plus, both have the option of an integrated magnetic stripe reader. The compact IK8570 has a small footprint ideal for the point-of-sale. The Dolphin 7900 is compact, ergonomic, wireless and rugged, providing ease of use and reliability.

Adicionalmente, la utiliería de software IK8570 WebScan™ habilita la integración simplificada de la función de escaneo de código de barras en aplicaciones basadas en web, eliminando la necesidad de realizar procesos adicionales por parte del cliente, ayudando así a que la integración del proceso sea más rápida y eficiente.

“El Kiosko para captura de imágenes de Hand Held Products es un gran ejemplo de lo que se puede hacer con Microsoft Windows embebido, en beneficio de una mejor experiencia de compra para los consumidores”, dijo Ilya Bukshteyn, director de mercadotecnia para Windows embebido, en Microsoft Corp. ”Windows CE embebido ofrece un juego robusto de capacidades intraconstruidas, que incluyen multimedia y el barrido Web que permite a los socios de Microsoft dar soporte a un amplio rango de funcionalidades, así como proporcionar soluciones efectivas a sus clientes”.

“Los clientes actuales están más ocupados que nunca y demandan servicio rápido y eficiente. Con el Kiosko para captura de imágenes 8570, pueden evitarse la búsqueda de alguien que les dé información, ya que la encuentran rápidamente a través de un escaneo o bien, de oprimir un botón”, comentó Jessica Penizotto, gerente de producto IK8570 en Hand Held Products. “Este Kiosko le da a los detallistas la oportunidad de proveer un mejor nivel de servicio a sus clientes en una forma efectiva y a costo razonable”.

El modelo IK 8570 viene equipado con procesador Intel® Xscale 200 MHz, y 64 MB de Flash y SDRAM, lo que proporciona gran desempeño en todas las aplicaciones. Un diseño robusto y una funda protectora de pantalla que evita los daños comunes que pueden ser ocasionados a equipos con mínimo mantenimiento, que a su vez aportan máxima confiabilidad, reduciendo el costo total de propiedad

50 compañías para trabajar

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. / México, D.F. – Julio 20 de 2007 - Hand Held Products, Inc., proveedor líder en soluciones móviles de captura de información basada en imágenes, dio a conocer que fue nombrada como una de las 50 mejores empresas, medianas y pequeñas, para trabajar en los Estados Unidos. Esta calificación le fue otorgada por parte del Instituto Great Place to Work®.

Hand Held Products aparece por primera vez en esta lista, ocupando el lugar 25. Elanuncio acerca de todas las compañías clasificadas en la lista 2007 fue hecho en el contexto de la Conferencia Anual número 59 de la Sociedad para la Administración de Recursos Humanos de los Estados Unidos.

La lista anual, ahora en su cuarta edición, clasifica a las 50 mejores pequeñas y medianas empresas en los Estados Unidos; el factor común es que se trata de aquellas que utilizan estrategias inteligentes de administración de personal, para el desarrollo de organizaciones exitosas, con fuerzas de trabajo altamente productivas y satisfechas. Cada compañía evaluada obtuvo un marcador en base a las respuestas que dieron sus empleados a un cuestionario detallado acerca de la cultura organizacional existente en su lugar de trabajo.

“Estamos orgullosos de ser considerados uno de los mejores lugares para trabajar en los Estados Unidos”, comentó Kevin Jost, presidente y CEO de Hand Held Products. “Lo que hace a Hand Held Products un gran sitio para trabajar es la cultura. Estamos dedicados a crear un ambiente de trabajo de alta calidad para nuestros empleados, un ambiente que sea amistoso, orientado a la familia y que le otorga importancia a la salud y el bienestar”.

Hand Held Products introdujo la iniciativa Worklife Improvement Teams (WIT) en la década de 1990, para mejorar la calidad de sus productos. En tanto WIT apoyaba la mejora en la calidad de productos, se modificó el foco de atención para crear un ambiente positivo de trabajo para los empleados. A través de WIT, los empleados están motivados para identificar e implementar las cosas que hacen de Hand Held Products un gran lugar para trabajar. Esto incluye alcanzar el balance en el trabajo y la vida personal, asegurando a los empleados su reconocimiento por el trabajo bien hecho, tiempo para divertirse y al mismo tiempo, comunicar aquellos asuntos que son de interés para ellos mismos.

Algunos de los programas que se ofrecen a través de WIT incluyen: Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day®; ceremonias de premiación en honor de los empleados; campañas internas para obtener fondos destinados a obras de caridad. WIT ofrece una gran oportunidad para los empleados que buscan desarrollar o perfeccionar su liderazgo y habilidades para el trabajo en equipo, ya que, por ejemplo, cada grupo de trabajo es encabezado por un empleado, de acuerdo con una propuesta de voluntarios.

“Nuestro crecimiento como compañía está alimentado por un compromiso continuo con la calidad, no solo en términos de los productos que diseñamos y manufacturamos, sino en el ambiente que proporcionamos a nuestros valorados empleados”. Kevin Jost enfatizó que “En Hand Held Products, los empleados tienen la oportunidad de trabajar en un ambiente positivo y altamente energizado. Nuestro foco está en la educación, el desarrollo de carreras y el crecimiento profesional de nuestros empleados. Estamos comprometidos con la creación de oportunidades para el crecimiento personal de ellos y el desarrollo de sus habilidades”.

En México, Miguel Gerberoff, director de la subsidiaria local, explicó que "La cultura organizacional orientada a favorecer el desempeño tanto laboral como personal de los empleados, así como su salud y bienestar, es una importante característica de la compañía en todo el mundo. Aún cuando el reconocimiento como uno de los mejores lugares para trabajar fue hecho en los Estados Unidos, podemos afirmar sin lugar a dudas que Hand Held Products es un gran sitio de trabajo en cada uno de los países y regiones donde tiene presencia."

Hand Held Products®, una de las mejores

vidas con BloodTrack®

Junio de 2007 - Una solución basada en la captura digital de imágenes está ayudando a salvar vidas y reducir el nivel de desperdicio en los hospitales. BloodTrack Courier®, un sofisticado equipo PC kiosko, controla y registra elacceso a los refrigeradores de almacenamiento para sangre en los hospitales. El sistema acaba de ser mejorado con un dispositivo óptico de la serie 5X80 de Hand Held Products.

BloodTrack Courier® fue desarrollado por Datalog International y Neoteric Technology, junto con Geoff Bullen Electronics (GBE) y Olympus OsYris. Ganó el premio a la Innovación en Producto por parte del Instituto de Ingenieros Mecánicos (en Inglaterra), y su instalación en el Hospital John Radcliffe en Oxford, ganó el premio principal de los GC a la Innovación 2007.

El sistema fue desarrollado porque los errores humanos son la causa predominante en el uso de suministros de sangre equivocados en las transfusiones, lo que en ocasiones ha provocado la muerte de pacientes. BloodTrack® utiliza un sistema de código de barras para controlar el acceso a los refrigeradores con bolsas de sangre, y para asegurar que en cada ocasión
la bolsa que se retira es la correcta.

Para cumplir con la nueva legislación en los Estados Unidos, GBE decidió actualizar el dispositivo de lectura de imágenes de BloodTrack®. Mark Bullen, Director de GBE, comentó que “Necesitábamos una unidad que fuera lo suficientemente pequeña para colocarse en el kiosko, al mismo tiempo que rápida, robusta y que pudiera trabajar con todos lo niveles de luz”.

GBE optó por el dispositivo óptico 5X80 de Hand Held Products, que es compacto, ligero y de la más avanzada tecnología. La unidad, habilitada con la tecnología Adaptus Imaging, puede leer virtualmente todos los códigos de barras y puede capturar digitalmente imágenes. Mark Bullen agregó que “es confiable y sencilla para el servicio, además de que el soporte por parte de Hand Held Products ha sido excelente”.

Antes de una cirugía, el paciente pasa por un chequeo médico y si se requiere sangre, se le toma una muestra. Con un equipo PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) se captura la información de identificación del paciente que está impresa en su pulsera, luego se producen etiquetas precisas para la identificación de las muestras tomadas. Las muestras son procesadas y lasangre es identificada para el paciente en cuestión, además de escaneada por BloodTrack® antes de ser colocada en el refrigerador correspondiente.

Todos los movimientos de entrada y salida de los refrigeradores son capturados usando este sistema. Si un paciente necesita sangre, una papeleta de requisición es impresa y entregada a una enfermera o portador. En la papeleta se lee un código de barras PDF 417 que contiene la información necesaria para identificar tanto al paciente como el producto requerido.

El dispositivo óptico 5X80 en BloodTrack® escanea la identificación del portador o la enfermera, así como la papeleta (con la requisición). Esto desbloquea el refrigerador y se puede tomar la bolsa de sangre, que también es escaneada para verificar que sea la correcta. Cuando la sangre llega a su destino, la enfermera vuelve a verificarla utilizando la PDA.

Bullen concluye que “Este sistema está ahorrando dinero y tiempo en los hospitales. Pero sobre todo, está salvando las vidas de los pacientes”.

Roel Vreeburg, Gerente General de Hand Held Products en Europa, destaca que “Adaptus 5.0 le ha dado mayor versatilidad y poder que nunca antes a nuestros dispositivos ópticos para captura de imágenes. Es particularmente gratificante ver que en este caso, no sólo elevan la eficiencia y productividad, sino que están ayudando a salvar vidas”.

NOTA: Junto con este documento se está enviando una imagen del dispositivo óptico 5X80 de Hand Held Products.

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. – February 26, 2007 – Hand Held Products®, a leader in image-based data collection systems for mobile applications, helps Children’s Medical Center Dallas provide greater patient safety through its Dolphin® 7900 Mobile Computers, which clinicians use at the point-of-care for verification of medication and patient identification via bar code scanning. 

One of the nation’s largest pediatric healthcare providers, Children’s Medical Center Dallas serves approximately 300,000 children each year. Children’s provides care ranging from eye exams to specialized treatment in areas such as heart disease, hematology-oncology and cystic fibrosis. Children’s is also a major pediatric kidney, liver, intestine, heart and bone marrow transplant center.

In 2005, Children’s launched a large-scale mobile and wireless point-of-care solution. Joining a nationwide effort led by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, Children’s aimed to make advancements in the entire range of patient safety, including system design, product safety, safety of services, environment of care and utilizing proactive solutions.

The initial challenge was to build an application that supports specialized workflow and minimizes errors that could potentially lead to mistakes in medication administration. The Dolphin 7900s give Children’s the ability to access, document and transmit critical patient information in real time.

“Accuracy and safety are two things we are not willing to compromise when it comes to our patients, who are our number one priority,” says Debbie Schumann, RN, BSN, MBA, group manager, Children’s. “Scanning the barcodes helps ensure we are safely giving patients the right medications following the 5 Rights.”

Clinicians at Children’s use more than 250 mobile computers to scan bar codes on their employee ID badges and patients’ medication packets, and wristbands. Clinicians are alerted if they scan the wrong patient’s wristband or wrong dose of medication minimizing potential medication errors. This system ensures the “5 Rights” in patient safety are met: The right patient receives the right medication at the right time in the right dose via the right route. 

“Nowhere else are data accuracy and ease of data acquisition more crucial than in the healthcare environment. Our goal is to provide medical staff with a solution that makes bar code scanning and data communication fast and easy, enabling them to provide the highest level of care and safety possible,” said Kevin Jost, CEO of Hand Held Products.

New 2D Imager provides fly-by presentation scanning and enables advanced, imaging-based POS applications

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. – January 15, 2007 – Hand Held Products, Inc., a leader in image-based data collection systems for mobile applications, introduced at the 2007 National Retail Federation Convention, the new 4600r 2D Image Scanner, designed for high performance point-of-service (POS) scanning with the capability to read complex 1D and 2D bar codes and capture digital images.
Powered by Adaptus™ Imaging Technology 5.0, the 4600r combines omni-directional reading, advanced illumination, and Streaming Presentation™ mode technology to provide true fly-by and presentation scanning performance — a first for any 2D imager.
The 4600r empowers retailers with new capabilities at the POS by combining high-performance linear bar code reading along with the value-add functionality only possible with a 2D imager including:
· Driver’s license reading for auto-populating electronic forms with customer information, or verifying age and identity for the sale of controlled goods
· Digital signature capture
· Capturing digital images of paper documents, such as pharmacy prescription scripts, for paperless workflow and simplified storage and retrieval.

“The 4600r is a breakthrough 2D image scanner. It addresses the requirements of today’s fast-paced retail environments and enables new applications that add tremendous value to a company’s operations,” said Don Flynn, Vice President Product Management & Market Development Imaging Systems SBU, Hand Held Products. “Even if a customer uses the 4600r today purely for its high-performance linear scanning capabilities, they’ll have the on-demand flexibility to use it for any number of advanced 2D or image capture applications when they’re ready to do so. Many top U.S. retailers are already using this 2D technology with great success. Simply put, we’re empowering retailers to do more with a single solution — greatly enhancing their return on investment.”
“In the retail industry, we are seeing retailers become increasingly more creative, leveraging these and other strategies to streamline in-store operations, boost sales and differentiate themselves from the competition,” said Andrew Nathanson, Venture Development Corporation, analyst. “By upgrading to 2D imaging technology, retailers will have the ability to drive greater ROI by using a piece of IT hardware that’s already embedded in their IT infrastructures.”

February 7, 2007 – Rochester, NY – Bio-Optronics announced today it would unveil a handheld PDA version of AdministratOR, the company’s bar-coded medication administration solution at this year’s HIMSS conference in New Orleans.  Hand Held Products of Skaneateles, NY is partnering with Bio-Optronics to provide a bundled point of care solution to the midsize hospital and long-term care market.  The two companies will join forces to demonstrate the application at the healthcare IT conference on Hand Held Products compact and durable handheld devices, the Dolphin® 7600, 7900 and 9500 Mobile Computers. 

AdministratOR is a cost-effective bar-coded point of care solution which ensures that mid-size hospitals and long-term care facilities can afford to comply with the ‘5 Rights of Patient Safety’, which states that the right patient receives the right drug, at the right time, in the right dosage and in the right form.  Ensuring the ‘5 Rights’ prevents costly and potentially fatal adverse drug events in the healthcare environment.  AdministratOR customers can now select from several platforms to best suit their needs: tablet computers, laptops on medication carts, or the new handheld module, which will premiere at the conference.  In addition, AdministratOR’s handheld version enables point of care providers to track specimen collection and vital sign monitoring.

“In developing the handheld application, we were concerned about usability.  We wanted to ensure that nurses without perfect vision or experience using PDAs could still master the application,” said Jeremy Reitz, Bio-Optronics’ Director of Development and Architecture.  “We were successful in achieving this goal.  The AdministratOR handheld module contains the same trademark usability found in the tablet version,” Reitz added.

Bio-Optronics will demonstrate the AdministratOR handheld software in the Hand Held Products booth, #2863, at the HIMSS Conference in New Orleans from February 25th to March 1st.
