DS8100

The DS8100 is the most powerful bar code reader on the market encompassing all of the superior Datalogic performance advantages.. The DS8100 scanner has been designed to offer the best performance and advanced solutions for the most demanding applications in the Material Handling Applications. The DS8100 is the solution for all the common problems in material handling applications such as tilted barcodes, low print quality, barcodes covered by plastic film or tape and barcodes on irregular shaped objects.

ASTRA™ Technology

ASTRA™ (Automatically SwiTched Reading Area) is the Datalogic patented solution to a fundamental need in the Material Handling sector: to read medium-high density bar codes in a large reading area on very fast conveyors.   ASTRA™ is based on a multi-laser architecture and a fixed mounted optic system that concentrates the multiple laser emissions in a single laser beam, increasing the reading capability of a single scanner and providing an extended depth of field. Each laser emitter is focused on a specific range of the reading area and selected by means of a sophisticated electronic controller based on the actual position of the code to be read.

ACR Technology

The DS8100 is available with a real time linear decoder and an (Advanced Code Reconstruction) 2nd generation decoder. ACR technology is based on a powerful DSP able to carry out real time bar code image reconstruction and decoding, allowing the reading of non-oriented labels placed in various positions on objects. This code reconstruction capability also dramatically enhances the readability of poorly printed or damaged codes.

CDSquare™

With CDSQUARE™  Analog signal conditioning, Gain and  bandwidth can be  controlled as a function of distance.  Digitizer parameters can be adjusted to optimize code detection. Only the laser focused in the field in which the code is detected is active; no moving parts, very high speed reaction time. This Virtual autofocus extends the depth of field, as well as adding distance and dimension detection. Not only the code but additional information (distance, shape and volume estimation) can be given by the bar code reader.

PackTrack™

PackTrack™ is a DL patented system for parcel tracking supported by the DS8100.

Thanks to a sophisticated controller, PackTrack™ tracks the parcels as they pass through the reading station, matching the codes to the correct box. PackTrack™ can manage the most demanding applications, such as 6-sided reading systems, where traditional systems are unable to detect the real position of the code, necessary for tracking (for instance bar code labels on baggage in airport applications).

Today, the limitations of these applications are overcome by CD SQUARE™ and PackTrack™ that assure 100% correct bar code assignment with 50 mm minimum gap between objects. PackTrack™ eliminates the need for external accessories required by the traditional tracking systems, such as photocells, encoders and height detector barriers, making installation and setting of the whole transport system less expensive, faster and easier.
