Intermec, Inc. has introduced two new scanning solutions, the SF61B, and SR31T. SF61B is a compact wireless mobility scanner optimized for distribution center (DC), transportation and logistics, field service and healthcare operations, and the SR31T is a robust tethered scanner for general purpose and light industrial environments. According to the company, both scanners feature premium performance and the quickest time-to-read 2D imaging technology in their class, enabling fast and dependable data collection.

SF61B is a uniquely designed wireless mobility scanner ideal for users that require uncompromised scanning performance, long battery life and ruggedness in a compact form factor similar to a small flashlight. The SF61B features a magnetic attach/release system that allows the device to be quickly accessed or securely stowed away as needed enhancing worker agility, safety and efficiency. Additionally, with integrated Bluetooth wireless, the SF61B is a perfect companion to Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile tablets and smartphones already deployed in field service, customer service, or mobile point-of-sale applications.

Also available as a healthcare-optimized model, the SF61HC features a disinfectant-ready housing optimal for point of care, patient admissions, medicine dispensing, food service and other hygiene-sensitive environments. The SF61B offers full-size scanning performance. Integrated Intermec EA30/31 scan engines deliver extreme motion tolerance (up to 500 in/sec) for hassle-free scans, and all models include a Bluetooth Class 1 radio providing up to 100 meters (325 feet) of wireless range.

All of this comes with no compromise to battery performance; the SF61B features a user-replaceable battery capable of lasting well beyond a full eight-hour shift, even in scan-intensive applications. The SR31T tethered handheld scanner provides premium performance, durability and ease of use for a wide variety of scan-intensive applications and was designed to maximize user productivity. Ready to address scanning needs now and into the future, the SR31T can read all common 1D, PDF, 2D and postal symbologies, and can also reliably read codes from smartphones, tablets, or computer displays.

Rated IP53 and built to withstand 26 drops from 1.8 meters (6 feet), the SR31T is ideal for retail, office and light industrial environments.
