products, what makes Adaptus the better solution?
Hand Held Products' 30-year commitment to innovation and the
study of customer's problems has now culminated with the launch
of Adaptus Imaging Technology 5.0; the new standard for data
collection performance and versatility. Hand Held Products has
been supplying data collection solutions for over 30 years.
During that time, we have been recognized as a leading innovator
in applying linear and area imaging to data collection
applications. Our fifth generation of data collection
architecture, Adaptus Imaging 5.0, is the result of years
research and development aimed at solving real world data
collection problems.

previous generation?
- Adaptus Imaging 5.0 sets a new standard for customer value.
When applied to today’s applications, Adaptus Imaging 5.0
delivers:
- Greater Depth of Field
- Increased Motion Tolerance
- Improved Low Light Reading
- Decreased Time to Read
- Increased Resolution and Image Quality
- Combined, these enhancements make Adaptus Imaging 5.0 easier
to use in real-world data collection applications.
- What does Adaptus stand for?
Adaptus is the imaging technology that delivers an optimized
combination of high performance and versatility into data
collection applications. In today's challenging data collection
environments, you want to be sure your data collection device
serves your needs as they change. The performance and
versatility of Adaptus allows you to use your data collection
device with confidence today and in the future.
- What is the difference
between linear and area imaging Adaptus solutions?
Linear imaging best demonstrates the high performance attribute
of Adaptus by delivering unmatched ease of use on linear
barcodes, even under the most challenging reading conditions
(i.e., poor and damaged barcodes, wide range of codes densities
in one application). The area imaging of Adaptus is also
characterized by high performance, but it best demonstrates
versatility. The ability to read linear barcodes very well, but
also 2D barcodes (i.e., PDF417, Data Matrix, QR Code). In
addition, picture taking establishes the area imaging of Adaptus
as a unique solution that delivers extraordinary value.
- Why aren't all Hand Held
Products devices powered by Adaptus?
Adaptus Imaging Technology represents the latest innovations in
optics, computing hardware, and image processing software. These
components combine to establish a new standard for high
performance and functionality at an affordable price. Recently
released products, and those soon to come, implement this latest
imaging technology which we call Adaptus.
- Why should I consider
Adaptus-powered imaging solutions?
You should consider Adaptus Imaging Technology if:
- You
would like greater value from your current data collection
device.
- You
need a data collection solution that is easy to use, even in
the most challenging reading environments.
