DeviceMaster - Datalogic

Challenge

Datalogic, one of the largest manufacturers of bar code readers and portable data collection terminals in the world, is always seeking better communication tools. When Datalogic needed a cost-effective way to connect their customer’s existing office and manufacturing environments, they turned to Comtrol.

Technology Solution

Comtrol’s DeviceMaster® edge server was used to connect warehouse scanners with the company’s corporate shipping and distribution servers. This enabled Datalogic to translate the communications data coming from the scanner to TCP/IP format, resulting in improved visibility to plant floor devices at an enterprise level while reducing integration costs. As a result, Datalogic’s customer realized:

• Improved inventory management and supply chain visibility
• Higher distribution throughput
• Lower operational costs
