Bar Code Scanners & Imagers

Scanners, Imagers & Mobile Computers

Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) – it’s been around for a long time, but then so has The Danby Group. Since 1982 Danby has made AIDC its niche, and our customers (some of whom have been customers since 1982) rely on us to provide the absolute best-in-class scanners, imagers and mobile computers for their particular applications.

Functionality has come a long way

Manufacturers have developed many innovative features such as:

Ability to read and decode both 1D and 2D symbologies, as well as RFID smart tags, in the same unit
Touch-screen controls to give the user the easy, intuitive feel of their tablet or phone devices
Ability to mount an iOS or Android device directly on a hand-held computer or scanner for efficient data collection anywhere
Ability to read complex or even damaged codes successfully at most any conceivable angle
Rugged handheld devices that are non-incendive and intrinsically safe, built to withstand heavy use and extreme conditions

Our hand-picked scanners and data terminals combine industry-leading, data capture technology for a diverse base of industrial users. The product lines include data capture for both barcode and RFID, hand-held and fixed units, for applications such as:

Asset Tracking & Management
Fire & EMS
DoD and FDA Compliance
Automated Document Handling
Quality/Process Control and Tracking
Inventory Control
Asset Tracking

Sharpest aiming pattern in its class, ideal for first-shot, accurate capture of barcodes in pick lists

Mobile Computers

Data Collection Any Place, Any Time

Selecting the optimal rugged mobile business solution that satisfies the needs and preferences of IT, operations, and the device user, often requires trade-offs: size vs. ruggedness; weight vs. battery life; support and maintenance of multiple devices and platforms vs. a streamlined, single solution to perform different jobs and functions. Our mobile computing solutions from the top device manufacturers mean you can have it all, with no compromises. For those who need power-packed computing in a compact form, we offer carefully chosen mobile computers optimized for warehouse, field, and retail mobility environments from industry leaders such as Zebra, Cipherlab, and Honeywell.

Intrinsically Safe Mobile Devices

If your mobile computing needs extend beyond the normal safe environment, you may need to consider a solution that can provide a range of integrated devices that are intrinsically safe under hazardous conditions. Having served the DoD and many of its contractors since 1982, The Danby Group has a family of solutions that will provide the safety, training and support required. We provide a complete range of non-incendive and intrinsically safe mobile computers that offer seamless integration across hazardous and non-hazardous environments that meet the safety requirements for UL, ATEX and IECEx standards.

RFID Hardware & Software Solutions

For those applications requiring non-line of sight data capture we offer a creative selection of RFID (Radio Frequency ID) products – both hardware, software and Smart Tags. To learn more about our RFID offerings, please navigate to RFID Solutions.
