At the beginning of the year, VDC Research Group listed 2D imagers as one of the top 5 trends for the bar code solution market in 2011, saying that “mobile marketing initiatives and continued investment in both retail and industrial use environments will be key drivers for 2D imaging solutions in 2011.”  And VDC expects the investment in 2D imagers to outpace laser scanners and linear imagers in the coming years.

There are several key factors driving the growth of 2D imagers, one in particular is to address anticipated application requirements.  The use of 2D symbologies has increased and 2D imagers “future proof” investments by providing a flexible scanning solution.  Businesses looking to provide more information and documentation will find that 2D imagers capture more types of data, such as:

• Images that can be associated with data
• Signatures
• Mobile bar codes
• Videos

With a growing variety of bar codes being used today, it is necessary to have one solution that can scan virtually any type of code. The hands-free Motorola DS457 Fixed Mount Imager can scan 1D and 2D barcodes, as well as Direct Part Marks and mobile bar codes. Mobile bar codes are being used for a variety of applications such as mobile ticketing, mobile boarding passes, mobile loyalty cards and mobile coupons. The DS457 delivers high-volume scanning for all of these applications and many more—while saving space.

The sleek design makes the DS457 ideal for POS applications and can even be mounted under the counter. The small form factor is also useful for embedded kiosk applications and manufacturing conveyor lines.

In past posts I’ve provided information about the benefits of kiosks in retail and also a variety of other industries such as healthcare kiosks and hospitality kiosks.  Recycling kiosks are the new trend in kiosk applications and they’re not only providing benefits to businesses, but also the environment.

Recycling kiosks are designed for on-the-go recycling and aren’t intended for bulk recycling, but instead provide a way for users to quickly recycle single bottles and cans and earn rewards.  Simply scan the items bar code at the kiosk to identify the recyclable item, drop the item in the holding bin and receive reward points.  Users can also print coupon rewards via the kiosk and receipts for recycling transactions.

In a previous post I provided information about the MAX Keypad feature for the MC9500-K mobile computer which provides users with the ability to swap keypads in a matter of minutes.  Motorola Solutions recently announced the release of two new keypad options for the MC9500 product family.  The new field replaceable keypads offer Terminal Emulation functionality when combined with the Wavelink TE client for the MC9500.

When combined with the Wavelink software, the two new keypads support F1-F20 function keys and other emulation functionalities.  Additionally, both keypads can serve as an emulation keypad when the application is running or as a standard alpha numeric keypad when the terminal emulation application is not running.
