Nearly 1,500 resellers of automatic identification devices, voting in the “Best Channel Product” ranking, chose three Intermec products as leaders in their categories. The SR61 handheld scanner, the PM4i barcode printer, and the PB32 rugged mobile printer were distinguished. These devices received the highest marks in the categories of reliability, durability, and functionality. The winners of the annual “Best Channel Product” ranking, announced in the August issue of the magazine, were selected through an electronic survey conducted among auto ID equipment resellers. Participants in the ranking voted for devices in seven categories, including: functionality, durability, ease of integration, availability of updates, and convenient service. This year, 1,416 resellers took part in the ranking, casting 16,656 votes. The survey methodology was developed in cooperation with Penn State University.
The SR61 handheld scanner is characterized by above-standard resistance to dust, humidity, and varied temperatures, typical for devices used in harsh industrial conditions or the military industry. The scanner enables, among other things, the reading of damaged barcodes.
A unique feature of the PM4i printer is its high label resolution: up to 400 dpi. Thanks to this, it is possible to print a 2D barcode on a smaller surface area than before. The printer can operate as an intelligent client device, eliminating the need for a PC. This means that it can be used to operate additional devices, such as scanners, other printers, or conveyors.
The PB32 is a rugged mobile printer that performs well in the difficult conditions of warehouse distribution or retail. Unique design elements, such as gap sensors and label take sensors, help maintain high work efficiency.
All distinguished Intermec devices are available in Poland.
