The Datalogic Kyman Line Comes To An End
After many years of great success and results, Datalogic is now announcing the worldwide obsolescence of the Kyman mobile computer product line, due to electronic component availability. This will apply to all
special versions of the Kyman mobile computer as well.
The new Falcon X3 mobile computer delivers the ultimate in ruggedness, ergonomics, computing and data capture technologies and a perfect replacement for the Kyman.
Datalogic is Now 40 Years Old!
Datalogic is celebrating its 40th birthday. Thanks to Romano Volta’s vision and initiative, this small Auto-ID company that started out in a church rectory on the outskirts of Bologna, Italy, in 1972, is now a colossus with over 2,400 employees in 30 countries, more than 1,000 patents and a partner network that reaches every corner of the world.
This milestone was reached thanks to Datalogic’s constant commitment to delivering world-class, reliable and innovative solutions, which – over the past four decades – has led the company to the status it enjoys today as a global expert in Automatic Identification technology. “The key to our overall success and optimum sales growth year-on-year has first and foremost been our reputation for knowing our customers and understanding their needs,” stated Mauro Sacchetto, Datalogic Group’s CEO.
With a wide range of products from handheld scanners, mobile computers, and fixed readers, Datalogic has devices for any application.
The New Datalogic Touch TD1100 Linear Imager
Datalogic has announced the availability of the new Touch TD1100 linear imager contact reader. The Touch TD1100 reader is a linear imager alternative to low-cost laser scanners. It has been developed to enhance the very successful (but dated) Touch 65/90 Pro and Lite models. The Pro and Lite readers have been very successful in the last 10 years and are among the major revenue generators of all time for Datalogic’s handheld product range.
The Touch TD1100 readers feature a stylish new design combined with enhanced performance and durability to provide the new Touch readers with all the requisites needed in
order to compete with a higher-range class of competitive products.
The Touch TD1100 series of linear imaging contact readers represents Datalogic’s solution for customers who require a cost-effective solution for close-contact bar code reading without sacrificing quality or performance. Designed for low throughput applications within multiple markets, the Touch TD1100 readers provide the guarantee of contact reading with an excellent reading capability on virtually all linear bar codes, including damaged or poorly printed codes. Small, lightweight and low on energy consumption, the Touch TD1100 readers continue to provide robustness with a 1.5 m / 5.0 ft drop resistance, which is typical of higher range products.
Reduce Bottom-of-Basket Loss with the Datalogic LaneHawk
LaneHawk InCart presents one of several solutions provided by the LaneHawk family product line. InCart does from above that which LaneHawk BOB does from below. It recognizes the items going through the check-out lane and notifies the cashier in real time when the item has not yet been paid for. InCart uses the same patented ViPR recognition engine as LaneHawk BOB. This allows it to run on the same server to capture items left on the top basket of a shopping cart, in parallel with LaneHawk BOB detecting items on the bottom of the basket. When InCart recognizes an item, it first checks to see whether the item has already been rung up in the POS system. If, by the end of the transaction, the item has not been scanned, LaneHawk notifies the cashier that the item was missed. Like LaneHawk BOB, InCart can produce several different reports to track cashier usage in order to target suspicious activities and reinforce best practices.
Datalogic Memor helps Improve the Service Pipeline at Wildkamp
Wildkamp started selling PVC pipes in the Netherlands 40 years ago. Over the years, the company has become a specialist in the production of pipes, tubes and all related products. Customers can also get support and advice for projects in which the creation of tubes, pipes and pavement play a role. This service requires a high level of knowledge and skill on the part of the company’s employees, especially when one considers that the company houses an assortment of 50,000 articles in the distribution center in Coevorden with an average of 7000 articles in each of the more than 40 branches.
Wildkamp had never used an automated system for controlling stock in the past, but with volumes increasing continuously, it decided it was time to turn to automation.

Puma uses Datalogic Mobile’s Elf PDA to Help Run Its Warehouse
PUMA is one of the world’s leading sport lifestyle companies that designs and develops footwear, apparel and accessories. The Salzburg Branch of Puma in Austria handles inventory management for Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

It also has extensive RAM, scans quickly with no errors and transfers collected data in real time. “Datalogic Mobile and its partner, advised us very well, offering us the Elf, which fully satisfied our requirements, all at a low cost to us!”
