requirement was that several scanners 
should be in use simultaneously without 
interfering with each other. to render the 
solution simple and quick and open to 
future extensions, Daimler asked for an 
integrated solution.
It was decided that the industrial hand-
held reader, Dragon™, from Datalogic, 
fulfils the requirements in the plant 
at sindelfingen. this rF reader has a 
coverage of 50 meters and can be used 
without problem on the production line. 
All security-relevant components can 
be easily scanned while moving or in 
positions which are difficult to reach, e.g. 
in the engine compartment or under the 
seat. the operator can move around the 
car without a cable interfering, and the 
production process is not disrupted. the 
maximum possible flexibility is assured. 
All readers in the plant are standards 
products an can be used anytime 
without special adaptations.
several point-to-point systems installed 
in one room render the use of several 
readers at the same time possible. With 
this system each scanner is assigned to 
a determined workstation and a distinct 
address is assigned for each scanner, so 
that even when all readers send at the 
same time, the respective data arrives at 
the right place.
A quick and qualitative secure rF 
transmission is ensured by means of 
the csMA/cA protocol. As soon as 
the Dragon™ sends the data to the 
base station, the system carries out 
a plausibility check. If the entry is 
successful, then an acknowledgement 
occurs in the form of a notification on the 
display and an acoustic tone. 
Meanwhile 200 units of the follow-up 
model Powerscan 8300 with an IP56 
rating have been installed in the plant. 
Narrow band radio communications 
with Datalogic’s stAr cordless system™ 
is the key to increased productivity and 
flexibility in the workplace. It offers 
scalable solutions from simple point-
to-point applications to networking 
capabilities combined with seamless 
roaming for complex installations. An 
optional display with a 3-button keypad 
provides time and battery status and 
enables operator interaction with the 
host system.
The Results
Now it is possible for Daimler not only 
to complete traceability in the supply 
chain by associating installed parts with a 
supplier, but also precisely define recalls 
of cars in which a security risk has been 
detected.
