Zebra Technologies has introduced the DS2200 Series barcode scanner, a handheld device aimed at simplifying scanning tasks for retail workers, according to Ad-hoc-news.de.
Anthony Blears, Director of Barcodes Philippines, noted that the arrival of scanners like the DS2200 Series signals growing readiness for 2D barcodes in Philippine retail: 'The transition to 2D barcodes will transform retail, but adoption is likely to be slower than some forecasts because retailers and manufacturers must upgrade POS, ERP, production-line printing, inspection, and data workflows.' He highlighted that Barcodes Philippines provides free IBN Link access for customers to generate GS1 Digital Link/2D barcode landing pages from their GTINs, available at their 2D barcode subscription service.
The DS2200 Series is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, supporting both 1D and 2D barcodes for versatile scanning in retail environments. As reported by Google News, the scanner aims to improve efficiency at checkout and inventory management, addressing the need for reliable hardware in fast-paced retail settings.
The launch comes as retailers increasingly adopt advanced scanning technology to streamline operations and enhance customer experience. The DS2200 Series is expected to be available through Zebra's distribution channels, offering an affordable option for businesses seeking to upgrade their point-of-sale systems.
