DENSO ADC  announces the BHT-1100 Series of handheld wireless  barcode terminals. The new devices offer several outstanding features  that make barcode scanning quicker and easier, thus increasing operator  efficiency.  DENSO’s Advanced Scan Plus CCD technology can read barcodes  three times faster than a laser scanner and from up to 25 feet or more  away, allowing the operator to quickly and continuously scan stock shelves from floor to ceiling without having to use a stepladder. In addition, the BHT-1100 terminals have an expanded scan pattern, resulting in accurate scanning of even smeared barcodes or those that  have become partially obscured by dirt.  

The terminals’ ergonomic design features a large, easy-to-read screen  and a slim, easy-to-hold grip, to reduce operator fatigue. A specially  designed scan angle, based on studies of units in actual operation,  minimizes screen glare and provides high readability under varying  lighting conditions, helping prevent eyestrain.  Wide-area 802.11b/g/n wireless coverage and high-speed data transmission  make communication quicker and easier even in large stores or  warehouses. An optional built-in digital camera allows the operator to  take photos of defective goods during inspection, eliminating the need  to carry a separate camera.  

The highly durable and rugged construction of the BHT-1100 Series  includes shock-absorbent material molded onto the terminal’s head, to  prevent damage due to bumping or dropping, as well as wear-resistant  lettering on the keys. The devices have been tested to withstand being  dropped onto concrete 60 times from a height of 1.5 meters (5 ft.).
