The Intermec
Technologies name has
global recognition
coupled with a
reputation for being a
one source supplier of
complete AIDC solutions
(e.g. systems provider
printers, labels, data
collection terminals,
etc). Compared to
Brady, their company
focus remains heavily
geared toward RF
systems and terminals –
and less on labels and
printers.
