Until today, businesses were required to choose between a high performance laser engine for 1D bar code scanning or a 2D imager that offered expanded functionality — but reduced performance. The revolutionary SE4500 from Zebra eliminates this disparity, offering a comprehensive feature set that completely re-defines imaging technology. Stunning performance on 1D and 2D bar codes combines with the ability to capture still images and video, allowing businesses to deploy a world of new applications. The patent pending fast-pulse illumination and fast sensor shutter speed enable image capture at a full 60 frames per second, delivering outstanding motion tolerance. The result is the extraordinary scanning speed required to boost productivity in many industries — from retail and healthcare to transportation and logistics and public safety.
DECODE OPTIONS PROVIDE MAXIMUM INTEGRATION FLEXIBILITY
Hardware and software decode options allow you to choose the decoder strategy that best fits your product designs. Our PL hardware decoder family allows you to choose the features and form factor you need. Choose the data capture capabilities and performance level your applications require. You can also choose the form factor that best meets the needs of your product designs — a standalone circuit board that connects to your board or a microchip that is soldered to the main circuit board. In addition, we offer a purely software decode option — no hardware required — that allows you to lower your component costs, conserve battery power and improve product margins.
EASY INTEGRATION INTO A WIDE VARIETY OF PRODUCTS
Designed for easy integration, the SE4500 reduces development time and cost, paving the way for highly cost-effective mobility solutions. Low power requirements help preserve ample battery power for a full shift. At less than three tenths of an ounce and approximately a quarter cubic inch, this small, lightweight device can be easily integrated into even the most space-constrained products, including mobile computers, handheld scanners, self-service kiosks, medical and diagnostic instruments, lottery terminals and more.
Provides flexibility for many applications; enables design of devices that offer multiple types of data capture; enables standardization on a single engine to streamline and reduce the cost of product development. Superior performance on 1D and 2D bar codes, improving productivity in a wide variety of applications.
