Cologne (Germany), 14 April 2009 / PANMOBIL, Germany's leading Auto-ID technology manufacturer announces the launch of its new product named SCANNDY: a lightweight 1-D and 2-D barcode and RFID scanner.

139g of advanced technology in one solid body – that's SCANNDY, the lightest 1-D/2-D - Barcode and LF/HF/UHF - RFID scanner in the world. The light weight is particularly convincing because of its flexibility and user-friendliness. Modularity creates customer value, which was the main purpose in creating the new scanner series. The SCANNDY allows users to adjust their scanners according to individual needs. In addition, the large assortment of accessories is one of the keys to meeting different application requirements.

The barcode scanner reads 1-D and 2-D barcodes and reads and writes LF, HF and UHF RFID. The SCANNDY reads up to 170 tags per second. The UHF version SCANNDYgun has a reading range of up to 4 meters, while the version SCANNDYbasic reaches up to 30 cm in a small mobile phone-type casing. The OLED display on our SCANNDYbasic guarantees a 170 º view angle.

SCANNDYbasic as well as the gun-type SCANNDY can be custom equipped, i.e with or without display, with a 7 or a 19-key keypad. All versions are also available with different cable interfaces (PS2, RS232, USB) and RF communication such as Bluetooth / GPRS / WiFi / 433MHz / ZigBee.

Scanning data is only one of its features!

Getting the data into applications is the more important detail! The SCANNDY always comes complementary with an easy-to-use and quick-to-install software package.

Once automatically or manually installed, anytime the SCANNDY connects to the PC, the scanned data will be transferred into the chosen application, such as Excel, Word, or any ASCII file or web-based server.

Using SCANNDY is more than just hearing it beep, it’s a complete data-collecting System!

Flexibility in modular Auto-ID hardware and communication is the basics, but how can you make it into a complete solution? The easy to use SDK Developer Kit empowers any developer to get the targeted system running in the snap of a finger.

With its light weight and extremely solid design, SCANNDY is the ideal tool to be used in the whole logistics field. The mobile RFID and barcode scanner SCANNDY with its variety of applications and product properties is the ideal always-at-your-side partner for field technicians, maintenance services and facility management companies, healthcare and any other industries where light weight, flexibility, ruggedness, reliability and cost are key requirements.
