Johannesburg, 04 May 2007

ProScan Systems, value-added distributor for Datalogic products in South Africa, announced the release of the new Dragon family of industrial bar code readers, developed to provide a solution for the most demanding and toughest industrial applications.

Flexible and easy to install and use, reliable and accurate in the long-term for all industrial applications, the new Dragon from Datalogic is suitable for warehouse management and industrial applications, such as shop-floor and work-in-progress.

The renewed Dragon family is designed to withstand even the toughest environmental conditions while maintaining its accurate reading performance and reliability, meeting the market demand for performance and reliability without compromise.

Operator comfort and productivity, essential in any scan-intensive application, is facilitated by the ergonomic handle and the well-balanced weight. The successful and patented Datalogic "Green Spot" in included in the new Dragon, giving "good read" feedback directly to the user on the bar code.

Dragon's superior reading performance, further strengthened by the patented Puzzle Solver Technology, allows fast and accurate reading of all standard symbologies and bar codes from low to very high resolution, poorly printed or damaged, frequently recurring in the industrial environment.

The rugged mechanics have been developed and tested to withstand even extreme shock conditions, while reading performance and accuracy remain unchanged in the long-term. The Dragon has a rating of IP64, meaning it is totally protected against dust and water.

The Dragon is available either with a cable or cordless for operators requiring mobility in the manufacturing plant, warehouse or distribution centre.
