-- E1022 scan engine specifically designed to easily integrate into new and existing handheld computers and scanners
-- Matches or surpasses laser quality at competitive price
Worth Data, of Santa Cruz, Calif., has entered an agreement with Intermec Technologies to incorporate Intermec E1022 bar code scan engines into its handheld barcode scanners.
The Intermec E1022 scan engine is designed to replace standard-range laser scanners in new or existing handheld computers and scanners, providing more reliability and better performance at a competitive price.
Based on Intermec's best-selling ScanPlus Vista(TM) technology, the E1022 engine has a scan rate of up to 270 scans per second, rather than the 50 to 80 scans per second typical with most scanning lasers. Faster scan rates enable scanners to decipher poorly printed or damaged bar codes.
"Worth Data customers know to expect innovative capabilities they can't find anywhere else," said Warren Rainer, who leads Intermec's OEM team. "We're pleased to help Worth Data continue that tradition with the E1022. Its flexibility is that it can be used in so many forms. As the world's smallest solid state decoded scan engine, its suitability for data capture applications is unmatched. And it does not use laser-based technology, so it does not require the eye hazard warnings associated with laser scanners."
"We are very excited about using the E1022 scan engine in our products, especially our RF scanner products, where the E1022 gives our customers an advanced product at a significant cost savings when compared to using a laser engine," said Worth Data Vice President Monty Worthington.
The E1022 scan engine reads labels up to seven inches wide and works in any lighting condition, from total darkness to full sunlight (100,000 lux). It even can read bar codes through glass or directly from a computer display. The E1022 reliably reads bar codes up to 19.6 inches away, the typical scanning requirement of 80 percent of the market.
The 0.64 x 1.50 x 0.98-inch engine features embedded power management, a bi-directional serial link for dynamic configuration and a flash memory for firmware upgrade.
"The E1022 is a great fit, with form and function designed for integration into handheld computers and scanners," said Intermec OEM Account Manager Marilyn Quarders.
With no moving parts and no laser diode, the E1022 has a longer life than any laser scanner. Its rugged design means it can withstand 2000G shocks and 10G vibrations and can be used in temperatures from -22 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 to 70 degrees Celsius).
