PowerScan® PD7100 Industrial Corded Handheld Linear Imager Bar Code Reader
The PowerScan 7100/7000 product series are Datalogic Scanning’s entry-level line of rugged industrial handheld data collection products. The PowerScan D7100 linear imaging corded bar code reader combines rugged durability and extremely snappy reading performance all at an affordable price.
Datalogic Scanning’s innovative and unique optical design of the PowerScan 7100 series of bar code readers combines scanner features that are normally available on different scanner models into a single device: up to 3 mils maximum code resolution; contact to about 3.0 m / 9.8 ft bar code reading distance; and wide angle code reading. The result is a versatile, easy to use and intuitive bar code scanner that simplifies any code reading activity.
Together high-speed digital hardware and Datalogic Scanning’s advanced bar code decoding algorithms produce read rates up to 390 scans per second, making the PowerScan 7100 readers the fastest industrial bar code scanners available. This is why the 7100’s are especially suitable for “high-speed” applications where thousands of bar codes have to be read in a very short period of time
As with all PowerScan products, the 7100 bar code readers’ mechanics have been developed and tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions while maintaining consistent reading performance. A loud beeper and Datalogic’s exclusive and patented ‘Green Spot’ directly on the code, provide intuitive good bar code read feedback in noisy environments.
The PowerScan 7100 bar code readers are offered with two different multi-interface combinations; the Standard multi-interface includes RS-232, Keyboard Wedge and USB; the second multi-interface set includes RS-232, IBM46xx and USB.
Lightweight and instinctive usage combined with outstanding speed-to-read makes the 7100 barcode product series the ideal solution for intensive code reading applications.

Case Study - Admenta Italia Spa
Admenta Italia Spa is the Italian holding company of the German Celesio AG, a European leader in retail and intermediate pharmaceutical distribution. Admenta Italia Spa manages 162 Communal Pharmacies in Emili, Romagna, Tuscany, and Lombardy.
Beginning January 4, 2005, all Italian Communal Pharmacies, along with their branches and distributors, are required to comply with a new law instituting a Central Database aimed at tracing pharmaceutical packages to monitor healthcare expenses. This law decree issued by the Health Ministry on July 15th 2004 was published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale.
In order to be tracked in the distribution channel, packages distributed by the National Health Service are labeled with a clear identification label composed of two bar codes: an A.I.C. code identifying the single pharmaceutical compound and another ministerial code carrying the progressive compound numbering. Prior to January 2005, it was sufficient to provide only the identifying compound bar code, but now, Italian pharmacies must have the capacity to read and track the
ministerial bar code as well.
To comply with the tracking requirements, the Council Pharmacies, managed by Admenta, adopted a Datalogic Scanning solution using the Heron™ Farma handheld scanner. After evaluating several competitive solutions, Admenta chose the Datalogic Heron™ Farma scanners as it is equipped with the most innovative technical features, had the best ease-of-use, and guaranteed error-free data collection.
The Heron™ Farma scanner has been specifically designed to read the new prescription pads and to meet the new requirements of the pharmaceutical industry in Italy. When a patient goes to a Council Admenta Pharmacy to fill a prescription, the pharmacist can now associate the prescription, with the patient and the prescribed medication. Heron™ Farma scanner was the best solution for this application, as it reads progressive bar code numbers, including the bar code on the patient’s card and the bar codes on the medicine package.
“Every prescription can have up to six labels, resulting in up to 12 bar codes, as well as the prescription’s ID bar codes. The Datalogic Heron™ Farma scanner reads the correct labels in any situation, thanks to its features,” According to Doctor Raffaella Pesaresi of the Central council Pharmacy in Bologna.
Heron™ Farma handheld scanner is equipped with a special pointer, patented by Datalogic, that indicates which code is being read, making the tracking easier even when there are several codes on the prescription, a great help to pharmacists. The Heron™ Farma scanner has been designed to read one code after another and then concatenate the information. This guarantees that both codes are correctly detected and prevents incorrect matches. This process insures that the information sent to the Central Database is correct.
By using Heron™ Farma scanners supplied by Datalogic Scanning, the 162 Communal Pharmacies managed from Admenta, Italy are now all in compliance with the ministerial decree.
