    PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (June 30, 2006) - Accu-Sort Systems, Inc. introduces the AccuVision® HandsFree(TM) CCD camera and decoder that offer a low-cost solution and allow for greater processing rates in applications where packages are now scanned by hand. CCD technology meets the needs of demanding high-speed hand sortation applications. With a first pass read rate of more than 99 percent (compared to 90-96 percent for lasers), HandsFree provides the accuracy of a camera at the price of a laser scanner, while increasing product throughput. Quick set-up and low maintenance enable HandsFree to provide the lowest total cost of ownership of any bar code scanning option.

    HandsFree is Accu-Sort's smallest linear and 2D reader with a footprint that easily fits on a production line or hand picking area, providing the coverage needed to accommodate a variety of products without having to relocate the camera. HandsFree also has a large depth of field, which is ideal for hand induction.

    The AccuVision HandsFree camera system, when combined with the AccuVision decoder for Mid-Range Cameras, incorporates robust decode software that reads 2D and linear bar codes on stationary or moving objects. The decode software and integrated LED illumination ensure that HandsFree delivers the best possible read rates even on poor contrast and damaged bar codes in any orientation.
