The First Digital Imaging Grocery Scanner - Datalogic Magellan 9800i Scanner

Premium bi-optic with market-leading performance

The Datalogic Magellan 9800i scanner provides cutting-edge imaging with high reliability, allowing for maximum throughput for both 1D and 2D bar codes. This is the world's first grocery checkout bar code scanner that is entirely powered by high-performance digital imaging.

With a reduced height, the design increases ergonomics by allowing for better positioning of POS or Self-Checkout touchscreens, payment terminals, and receipt printers. The centered speaker provides auditory feedback using WAV files that can be customized for improved fidelity. Both standing and seated cashiers will benefit from the broad horizontal window.

The TDR (Top Down Reader) is a unique optional function that allows for smooth scanning of top-marked goods. A customer-facing imager on the Magellan 9800i scanner with TDR allows shoppers to swiftly and simply self-scan digital coupons from mobile devices, paper-based coupons, and loyalty cards.

Magellan 9800i performance

The arrival of the Magellan 9800i TDi has given the best-selling Magellan 9800i a tremendous boost. It's a simple camera device that goes beyond reading 1D and 2D barcodes in self-checkout and retail operations. You can now simply collect photos, and when combined with the latest AI and machine learning technologies, you can effortlessly identify produce. The Magellan 9800i TDi helps your check-out operators work faster and with minimized reading errors.

Use AI for the latest cutting edge technology

Color cameras are becoming more popular, and they are already providing extra benefits in terms of better understanding and meeting customer expectations. The Magellan 9800i TDi's expanded view of the scan base speeds up the process of identifying the products. Datalogic has already formed partnerships with the most widely used AI software providers, guaranteeing that the client road to recognition is as simple as possible.

Enable easy identification of produce at check-out

The image capture capability of the Magellan 9800i TDi is designed with AI in mind. Using a color imager with AI can ensure that produce is quickly and easily recognized, especially during self check-out. It takes only 2 seconds to capture an image that will allow you to correctly identify the produce. The check-out process will take much longer without this feature, resulting in poor or unrecognizable production photographs. The result is lost revenues and lost confidence due to incorrect produce matches. 

Carry on without any disruption

The Magellan 9800i TDi is well-made, with the same tough body and mounting connectors as the previous Top Down Reader (TDR). It's made to slot into the Magellan 9800i scanner quickly and easily. There is no disrupting your operations with long equipment downtime. Simply connect the Magellan 9800i TDi and carry out a fast firmware update, you will be back up and running within minutes.
