The new 2D imager series also includes models that can be used for medication administration, specimen tracking, patient admission, identification and verification applications in hospitals and outpatient facilities to boost workflow efficiency and improve the patient experience. Within electronics manufacturing environments, the DS4600 series can read virtually every kind of mark and barcode including tiny and dense laser-etched barcodes on plastic and metal subcomponents as well as ink mark, chemical etch, inkjet mold and thermal spray.
All models of the DS4600 series are available with Zebra’s DataCapture DNA suite of productivity, application development and visibility tools that simplify the integration, deployment and management of Zebra devices, lowering their total cost of ownership while maximizing worker productivity.
