Datalogic PowerScan Barcode Scanner

The product pictured is a rugged handheld industrial barcode scanner from the Datalogic PowerScan 9000 series (commonly recognizable by its distinctive bright lime-green and black rubberized housing designed for demanding retail checkout, warehousing, and manufacturing environments).

Datalogic was founded in 1972 by Romano Volta in Quinto di Treviso, Italy, and quickly grew into an international leader in automatic data capture and process automation solutions. The company pioneered several advancements in optical barcode reading, machine vision, and laser marking.

Datalogic remains headquartered in Lippo di Calderara di Reno (Bologna), Italy, and is publicly traded on the Borsa Italiana (Euronext STAR Milan) under the control of Hydra S.p.A. (the Volta family holding company). Its industrial scanning hardware is engineered in Europe and the United States and assembled across global manufacturing facilities, primarily located in Europe (such as Slovakia and Hungary) and Southeast Asia.
