DENSO Releases Handheld Wireless Barcode Terminals

DENSO ADC announced its new BHT-1200 Series of 1-D and 2-D handheld wireless barcode terminals. The terminals’ ergonomic design, which features a slim handle and built-in hand strap, makes them easy to hold for long periods of time. A specially arranged keypad, including 12 function keys, allows the devices to be operated with only one hand or even with just a thumb. A large, 3.5-inch HVGA color display lets the operator quickly see large amounts of information at a single glance.

DENSO’s advanced charge-coupled device (CCD) technology enables the BHT-1200 terminals to read codes at 400 scans per second, three times as fast as conventional laser scanners. The devices can read even complicated or damaged codes at high speed, permitting fast, uninterrupted scanning. In addition, they can read codes from as far away as 25 feet or more, allowing the operator to scan items on all shelves from floor to ceiling without having to change position or use a stepladder. A built-in 5.0-megapixel camera enables photos of defective or mislabeled products to be taken without the need to carry a separate camera.

The devices also feature wireless communication that supports the latest IEEE802.11b/g/n standards, eliminating bottlenecks due to slow data transmission. Highly reliable WPA/WPA2 network security prevents unauthorized access to data. The devices have been tested to resist damage after being dropped onto a concrete floor 30 times from 1.5 meters (4.9 feet).
