New 36-page handbook
“Auto ID in the Material Handling Industry”
is a convenient reference for experienced engineers
and a great primer for those new to auto-ID.
It offers a comprehensive overview of technologies
used in auto-ID systems, including bar coding
and RFID applications.
Lots of vendors will tell you their material handling equipment is ready to "plug and play." But the reality is, there will still be a need for systems integrators for a long time to come.
Accu-Sort Systems has undergone a complete makeover since being acquired. President Gregg Branning tells Keith Regan how the new corporate DNA has changed the company for the better.
Pittsburgh International Airport installed 8 baggage identification and sorting arrays using AXIOM™ linear laser scanners and AXIOM-X™ omnidirectional laser scanners. The Accu-Sort laser-scanning installation has improved read rate to more than 90 percent from 62 to 65 percent, drastically reducing manual handling of baggage, reducing labor costs and improving passenger satisfaction.

The Rales brothers' sprawling conglomerate makes everything--especially money.
The company's industrial-tools division, though it only accounts for about 14% of sales, houses Danaher's most well-known brand, Craftsman hand tools. The rest of Danaher's business comes from industrial technologies, including machinery components and product-id devices, such as Accu-Sort package scanners.
The Allegheny County Airport Authority voted Friday to spend up to $303,215 to buy new scanners for the baggage system used by US Airways, which accounts for more than half of all passengers at the airport.
Multiple laser, omnidirectional Axiom X™ reads high density bar codes at rates to 1,120 scans/sec. Bar code reader provides serial, Ethernet TCP/IP, UDP, and EtherNet/IP(TM) connectivity and can be networked using client/controller configuration.
