Datalogic

Datalogic is the largest European manufacturer of bar code readers and portable data collection terminals and one of the largest in the world. Through its subsidiary EMS Inc. (California) Datalogic is also present in the promising RFID market. The company started operating on the market in 1972 with a range of photoelectric sensors. Towards the end of the seventies Datalogic realised the huge potential of bar code technology and decided to invest in it, becoming the first manufacturer of bar code readers in Europe. In more than 30 years, Datalogic has built an unquestioned world-wide leadership in the AIDC sector, thanks to the high quality of its products, their utmost versatility and careful design. Datalogic assigns utmost importance to research activities and invests over 8% of its sales in this area. More than 120 engineers study basic technologies for possible future use within our products. Research would, however, be sterile if it were not combined with the capability to make products characterised by superior quality. This is why Datalogic has three manufacturing plants based on state-of-the-art automation technologies and managed through highly innovative processes. The quality of all processes is guaranteed by ISO9001 Quality Certification for the Datalogic Group.
