How’s business? If you’re a retailer, your answer might be cautiously optimistic.

Honeywell Scanning & Mobility has heard that retailers are looking for more advanced ways to connect with their customers. Enter the new range of retail barcode scanners.

Lynn Huang Freeman, head of marketing and strategy, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility Asia Pacific, knows that:

“Mobile commerce continues to shape the retail industry across Asia Pacific and consumer shopping experience from on-line to off-line drives retailers’ transformation. Retailers are feeling more pressure than ever from consumers to deliver faster and smoother in-store experiences.”

Honeywell has launched a new suite of retail barcode scanners in whose DNA are forward thinking tools to help retailers connect better with customers, reduce checkout time, speed up loyalty program enrollment and age verification, and unlock the full potential of the customer’s mobile shopping experience. 

“With these new products, our goal is to give retail professionals the ability and freedom to select the right tools to enable innovative marketing programs and effortlessly run operations while improving the customer experience.” 

The new scanners include the Voyager 1202G, which is Honeywell’s first of many battery-free wireless laser scanners, the Voyager 1602g pocket 2D Bluetooth scanner and the Voyager 1450g tethered scanner and Voyager 1452g wireless scanner for linear barcode scanning.

The new Voyager 1202G is Honeywell’s first of many battery-free wireless laser scanners. It provides the same aggressive linear barcode scanning performance as a wired scanner but without the long recharge time, maintenance, or environmental disposal issues associated with traditional batteries.

The affordable Voyager 1602g pocket 2D Bluetooth scanner provides high performance area-imaging technology in a compact form. It teams perfectly with tablet retail POS systems.

For retailers anticipating the need for area imaging in the future – so they can scan coupons from customers’ smartphone screens, for example - the Voyager 1450g tethered scanner and Voyager 1452g wireless scanner deliver powerful linear barcode scanning out of the box, and both are available for upgrade at a competitive price to enable QR code and 2D barcode reading at the initial time of purchase or at any point in the future.
