THE HISTORIC FIRST SCAN: A LEGACY OF INNOVATION AND EFFICIENCY
On June 26th, 1974, a cashier in Troy, Ohio, scanned a 10-pack of Wrigley's gum with the Magellan Model A, the world's first fixed retail scanner. This pivotal moment revolutionized retail with speed and accuracy. As a pioneer, Datalogic has evolved from the iconic Model A to today’s advanced imaging scanners, solidifying its leadership in fixed retail scanning technology.
