Flexrange offers the quick capturing of bar codes within a close, medium and long range, and is based on two- lens technology, each lens covering a specified range. the unit’s design therefore dispenses with zoom and movable parts, which ultimately makes the devices more robust. the 4.7-inch touch display in HD resolution was compelling, allowing more room for information than previous versions. Finally, the large batteries ensure that the devices do not need charging cradles in the delivery trucks. Horst mollik, general manager of
Honeywell’s productivity Solutions and Services in europe, says: “As we are working towards shorter delivery timeframes, it’s essential to equip warehouses and distribution centres with the right technology that can increase worker productivity.
