ROCHESTER, NY – Videk, Inc. announces the launch of their newest product, the VisionSensor 2020, an all-in-one handheld postal code (4-CB, Postnet, Planet) and bar code (1D & 2D) reader. The VisionSensor 2020 incorporates all the postal code reading capabilities offered in Videk’s Verifier HX model currently in use by the USPS with the addition of intelligent codes. To date, no other single device performs as many code reading functions! “We were aware that the Postal Service was moving forward with offering the 4-State Customer Barcode (4-CB) to mailers by September 2006,” said Tom Slechta, president of Videk. “Understanding the needs of our customers who now want to replace their POSTNET and PLANET barcodes into a single “one code” and read it with a high value, cost effective solution is the cornerstone of our business.” Mailpiece Design Analysts and Document Creators would stand to benefit most from this technology. Since the 4-CB cannot be decoded manually, the VisionSensor 2020 is a necessary quality control device. The VisionSensor 2020 can read intelligent codes, like the 4-CB, or something as common as a data matrix. The VisionSensor 2020 is also an essential tool for companies doing transactional mailing and time based marketing. The VisionSensor 2020 comes standard with USB cabling, a pistol grip handle, and complete instructions offering easy set-up and use. To engage the device a user simply “points and shoots.” Information in the barcode is transmitted to a PC through the USB cable. Cordless operation is also available, and allows the user to store codes for future downloads to the PC. Videk offers the VisionSensor 2020 at $995 MSRP. Additional accessories include a rechargeable battery, external battery charger, RS-232 interface cable, and a workstation presentation stand.
