It redefines operational efficiency by eliminating the clutter of managing multiple devices. The PowerScan 9600 RFID series enables workers to capture both barcode data and RFID tags with a single trigger pull. This dual-technology solution streamlines workflows, eliminates the need to switch between devices and significantly reduces inventory cycle times — effectively halving the time spent on this crucial task.
Continuing the legacy of PowerScan's unmatched durability, the 9600 RFID series is engineered to thrive in the most demanding industrial settings. This robust scanner withstands multiple drops to concrete, operates reliably in extreme temperatures, and boasts superior resistance to dust and water penetration (IP65 and IP67 rating). When downtime is not an option, the PowerScan 9600 RFID series delivers uninterrupted performance, shift after shift.
Gain unprecedented visibility into tagged items, even when they are not in direct line of sight. The advanced RFID technology can read tags through packaging, identify items inside sealed boxes and track assets in close proximity without requiring direct visual access. This capability dramatically reduces search times and significantly improves inventory accuracy.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID series is designed for seamless integration with existing systems while preparing businesses for future technological advancements. It supports both retail and industrial standard communication protocols, ensuring maximum flexibility. In addition, device configuration and management are easily handled through Datalogic Aladdin, a dedicated configuration tool that helps customers maintain optimal performance and minimize potential disruptions.
Experience measurable returns and significant cost savings by eliminating redundant processes. The PowerScan 9600 RFID series transforms a scanning solution into a powerful competitive advantage. For retail applications, the simultaneous reading of RFID tags and label barcodes with real-time operator feedback significantly enhances loss prevention and ensures error-free operations.
The PowerScan 9600 RFID series will be available as a cordless model with standard range scan engine, or as a cordless model with 16-key keypad and OLED display (document capture scan engine).
The PowerScan 9600 RFID series is fully compatible with all base stations and accessories of the existing PowerScan 9600 family. It also features Datalogic’s Wireless Charging System and a plug-and-play architecture for effortless device interface.
