3 January 2012 Honeywell claims world first for colour scanner
Honeywell has launched a colour digital scanner that it claims is the first of its kind in the market. The Xenon 1900 doesn’t look especially different from classic pistol-grip units of today, but because it can colour barcodes such as a red bar code on a white background, Honeywell reckons it will save users from the need to use multiple image capture and storage devices. Particular appeal is seen in applications such as healthcare where identity codes need to be read, and for taking colour images for improved wound management and visual identification of patients without a wristband. The Xenon 1900 uses a variety of technologies, including Honeywell’s own Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0 and ColorFusion Technology, and says these also provide much improved reading performance on hard-to-read barcodes such as those on mobile device screens. The system is also available in a cordless version, the Xenon 1902 Color, and both models are available with disinfectant-ready housing for healthcare professionals, underlining the initial focus on this market
