Renovotec's Barcode Bunny Talks LXE Marathon, Zebra Receipt Printers and Bank Holidays
While most of us have settled happily into the bank holiday weekend (or for those lucky enough to have the 3 days in the middle of the bank holidays off work - 11 days break!), lets spare a thought for those working in emergency services, on checkouts to ensure we have our fill of Easter treats and even to postal couriers rushing to deliver our chocolatey good wishes country-wide!
Happy Easter!
When I spotted the postman this morning with a spring in his step, delivering our mail and collecting a signature for a tracked item, I thought -- here he is, happily bobbing around scanning the barcodes on our Easter mail what we need is a blog, not about the Easter Bunny but about the 'Barcode Bunny'! Outwardly much the same as the Easter Bunny, but enjoys discussing barcodes and the products needed to scan said barcodes. Whether you're taking full advantage of the LXE 8500 series in a well-known supermarket near you or having a receipt printed from one of the Zebra receipt printers, it's likely that you'll have taken advantage of the Barcode Bunny at some point during the Spring Bank Holiday. If you're in the barcoding business, you will already be perfectly aware of this.
LXE Marathon Field Computer
What you may not know is that barcodes and barcode scanning equipment is increasingly utlised among the emergency services. The LXE Marathon could literally be a lifesaver as it immediately, allows its medical-professional-user to use the GPS to find the location of the emergency. Temporary details about the patient and their condition can then be stored in the Marathon and printed from a USB-attached mobile printer. Police offices can use the biometric mouse on the LXE Marathon to finger print suspects, to allow the Gobi WWAN radio to check these prints against the internal database of criminals and missing persons. Add to these features of 2MP camera and its rugged IP65 rated design and you're really backing a winner.
Zebra HC100
Some hospitals also use specialist equipment such as the Zebra HC100 to print out accurate patient wrist bands, when they are admitted into hospital.
From everyone at Renovotec (and the Barcode Bunny), we'd like to wish you a very Happy Easter and we look forward to speaking to you shortly.
