NEW DATALOGIC AV500
INDUSTRIAL SCANNER
ENHANCES EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY OF UNATTENDED DATA CAPTURE SOLUTIONS
A new industrial
scanner that extends
the functionality
of unattended
data capture solutions is being
introduced to Australasia and South
East Asia by automatic data capture
and process automation leader,
Datalogic.
The new AV500 2D image-based
reader incorporates several
industry-leading features that
allow the scanner to be used in a
wider range of logistics, transport,
distribution, retail and airport
applications than were previously
possible, without compromising on
accuracy.
Automated data capture systems
radically advance the efficiency
and reliability of inputting data,
which used to be a time-consuming
manual practice. Unattended data
capture advances this further,
with the automated processes
and technology not requiring
supervision from a person.
“Advantages of unattended
data capture solutions include
improved accuracy and speed,
improved cost-efficiency, reduced
errors, faster turnaround times
and reduced frustrations with
paperwork or tedious tasks,”
says Mike Svetal, senior product
manager, Datalogic.
“Datalogic’s new AV500 scanner
enables unattended data capture
to function to the highest levels of
precision and efficiency, due to its
industry-leading high-resolution
5 MP sensor, image acquisition at
32 frames per second, dynamic or
adjustable focus, and multiple lens
options,” he says.
“The AV500 means that multiple
reading attempts are no longer
needed, because this powerful
scanner covers a large area within
a single image,” says Mr Svetal.
“Additionally, the variable dynamic
focus of the optical system
increases the working depth of
field of the camera, and its toggle
mode provides variable focus for
applications without the need for
distance input, reducing overall
system costs without sacrificing
performance.”
The rugged scanners come with
IP65 rated metal enclosures,
suitable for harsh environments
with operating temperatures
from 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 ºF).
In-built active cooling maintains
optimal processor performance
and ensures a long lifecycle, even
in the most extreme operating
environments.
