Showcase: Datalogic PowerScan 9600 RFID Series Overview
Going hybrid? The Datalogic PowerScan 9600 RFID Series builds upon its rugged lineage by adding UHF RFID capability alongside barcode scanning and image capture. This hybrid scanner is designed to reduce inefficiencies in high-volume industrial settings, improve traceability, and enhance device management. With configurable scanning modes and smart infrastructure support, it delivers performance and flexibility in even the most demanding environments.
Face Supply Chain Challenges Head-On
- Inventory Blind Spots & Inaccuracy
RFID enhances real-time inventory tracking by simultaneously reading multiple items without requiring a line of sight. This significantly reduces manual scanning errors and enhances inventory visibility throughout the supply chain. - Time-Consuming Scanning Processes
With hybrid scanning, operators can read RFID tags and barcodes in a single motion. This reduces scan cycles, improves throughput, and reduces task time, especially important in fast-paced logistics and production lines. - Loss Prevention & Asset Misplacement
The ability to log and trace tagged items helps reduce theft and misplacement. RFID enables better accountability and stock location tracking, eliminating the need for sole reliance on physical inspection. - Equipment Downtime Due to Battery Failures
Smart batteries with charge monitoring and predictive maintenance alerts help prevent sudden power failures and unplanned downtime, which is crucial for 24/7 operations. - Fragmented Tech Ecosystems
Modular connectivity and embedded fieldbus support enable the scanner to integrate seamlessly with various industrial systems, from Android POS terminals to vehicle-mounted PCs—futureproofing your investment. - Operational Complexity & Training Time
Datalogic's DataCapture Suite simplifies configuration, while visual LED feedback (green, blue, purple) for different read outcomes reduces errors and shortens training cycles for new operators. With over 20 years of experience, DecisionPoint Technologies can help implement, deploy, support, and maintain your Datalogic devices.
