ProScan Distribution, a member of the ProScan Group, announced the release of the new affordable PowerScan PD7100 handheld industrial scanners from Datalogic, the perfect solution for users who need a snappy, rugged and durable handheld solution.

Offering best-in-class performance, the PowerScan PD7100 reader is well-suited for high-volume industrial applications at instinctive reading distances - from contact to long-range.

“The PowerScan PD7100 handheld imager is Datalogic Scanning's updated industrial value line, built on the legacy of the PowerScan 7000 SRI rugged handheld reader," said ProScan Group's Managing Director, Andrew Fosbrook. “Lightweight, ergonomic and robust, this imager combines advanced optics with all the best features in one device. Snappy performance makes this scanner ideal for scan-intensive barcode reading applications.”

According to Fosbrook, the new rugged PowerScan PD7100 was specifically designed for automating data capture in manufacturing, warehouse, transportation and logistics environments.

"It's ideal for work-in-progress, forklift, stocking, shipping, receiving, and retail point-of-sale check-out applications in tough environments, such as DIY and Cash & Carry stores. Postal environments are a growing sector where the PowerScan PD7100 linear imager is the perfect solution for sorting postal and parcel codes, where high-volume throughput is a key factor to increasing efficiency."

Impressive specifications include a speed of 390 scans per second for outstanding high-volume reading performance of real life (damaged or poorly printed) barcodes. A key feature is instinctive reading from contact to over three meters away, with superior depth-of-field and field-of-view performance enabling the reading of wider barcodes, as well as three mils high resolution barcodes with ease at standard distances.
