Datalogic Automation, Inc. Implements Its Bar Code Readers throughout Barnes & Nobles' West Coast Distribution Center
Barnes & Noble to improve the operations of its west coast distribution center using a variety of Datalogic's cutting-edge fixed position bar code readers.
Hebron, KY May 9, 2007 - Datalogic Automation, Inc. has the pleasure to announce that it recently successfully implemented a variety of Datalogic's fixed position bar code readers for book giant Barnes & Noble to improve the operations of its west coast distribution center. The west coast center distributes its merchandise not only to all of Barnes & Noble's retail stores on the west coast but also to Internet buyers in this region as well.
"Servicing both retail stores and Internet customers makes B&N's distribution quite complicated and thus it is essential that bar codes are read correctly so that the right customer gets the right order on time. That's where we here at Datalogic come in." describes Fabio Peruzzi, Project Manager for Datalogic Automation, Inc.
Barnes & Noble chose Datalogic scanners to use in its Reno, Nevada distribution facility, replacing a competitor's equipment that was formerly used in the facility. This implementation includes Datalogic's DS2400A, DS6300, DS6400, DX8200A scanners. Immediately upon implementation, Barnes & Noble saw improved bar code read-rates in the whole building - their retail shipping sorter went from 20% no-reads to 97% good reads with Datalogic scanners. In addition, Datalogic's scanners are able to read bar codes that are difficult to read by other scanners - i.e. those that are different colors or resolutions - and so B&N will not lose track, misplace, or delay a package because a bar code is non-standard.
"The professionals at B&N have been very easy to work with and they have a forward-thinking approach in choosing to partner with and implement Datalogic scanners to improve their distribution process," says Craig Kristoff, Datalogic Automation, Inc.'s Northeast Regional Manager. "We are excited to be working with Barnes & Noble and are glad to provide reliable equipment to replace our competitor's systems. Datalogic's long history of success implementing our top-of-the-line fixed position scanners in distribution centers around the world helped us win this sale. Datalogic Automation offers the best products available, incomparable service as well as tremendous long-term value for businesses that implement our scanners," says Darrell Owen, the newly appointed American president of Datalogic Automation, Inc.
