Case Study: Price Chopper improves POS efficiency and sustainability with Datalogic Magellan 8400 scanners

Price Chopper cuts scanner power use by 63% with Datalogic

Price Chopper, a supermarket chain in the northeastern United States, sought to upgrade its point-of-sale scanning equipment to support new GS1 DataBar codes, reduce energy consumption for LEED certification, and maintain cost-effectiveness. The challenge was to find a scanner that met these three key attributes for their new environmentally-conscious stores, replacing their older Datalogic Magellan SL scanners.

Datalogic provided its Magellan 8400 bi-optic scanner as the solution. This scanner could read GS1 DataBar codes, consumed an average of only 7 watts (a significant reduction from previous models), and offered advanced features at a cost-effective price point. The results included improved front-end operations, support for Price Chopper's LEED Gold Certification goals, and continued satisfaction as a long-term customer of Datalogic.
