HONEYWELL UNVEILS NEXT GENERATION VUQUEST 3310g

Powerful and compact area-imaging scanner offers superior performance with industry-leading Adaptus 6.0

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the availability of the Vuquest™ 3310g, a powerful area-imaging scanner housed in a sleek and compact shell. The device combines aggressive scanning of virtually any bar code, even on highly reflective surfaces such as mobile phone screens, with a stylish design that blends seamlessly across a variety of retail environments.
The next generation Vuquest 3310g is a direct replacement for Honeywell’s Vuquest 4980. It delivers exceptional bar code scanning and digital image capture, plus the integration of industry-leading Adaptus™ Imaging Technology 6.0. The newly improved Vuquest 3310g also incorporates reduced illumination that minimizes the annoyance often associated with the illumination used in area-imaging scanners, without sacrificing scan performance.

Designed for versatility, the Vuquest 3310g can be quickly and easily installed in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) kiosks or price checking systems. The device is also ideal for use in space constrained environments, including in law enforcement vehicles for e-citations, at airline gates for passenger boarding, and in specialty retail stores for under-the-counter point-of-sale scanning. Within the light industrial sector, the Vuquest 3310g can be used in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing done on manual assembly lines or slow moving conveyors.

For enhanced product stability and a longer lifecycle, the Vuquest 3310g is built around a custom sensor optimized specifically for bar code reading. This custom sensor delivers improved scanning aggressiveness and supply chain stability, as the sensor is manufactured specifically for Honeywell scanning products. In addition, Honeywell’s Remote MasterMind™ for Scanning software option allows enterprises to update and manage Vuquest 3310g devices deployed across a network from one centralized location, resulting in improved efficiency and lower device management and support costs. Powered by Honeywell’s TotalFreedom™ 2.0 development platform, the Vuquest 3310g allows enterprises to expand the functionality of the scanner to meet their changing needs by developing decoding and formatting plug-ins that can be loaded directly onto the scanner.

Mr. Shailesh Deshmukh, Country Manager, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility explains that, “I am confident that the Vuquest 3310g continues to arm the enterprise with a compact and flexible scanning solution paired with industry-leading Adaptus 6.0 Imaging Technology. With its ability to merge innovative scanning technologies into one versatile device, the Vuquest 3310g showcases Honeywell’s position as a global leader in imaging.”

The Vuquest 3310g will begin shipping in North America and Europe in December. For more information on TotalFreedom plug-ins, please visit www.ISVstore.com. For more information on the Vuquest 3310g, please visit www.honeywellaidc.com.
