Imagine the scene: awell established cosmetics shop in London’s West End, the buzz of a newrefurbishment hangs in the air. Chic lighting and fine décor now announce tocustomers that they have entered a superior establishment. And at the heart ofthe refit – the Innova Z-6170 scanner from ZEBEX. This is the awardwinning scanner that blends graceful design with ZEBEX’ powerful Z-SCAN+system, giving both elegance and efficiency.

-- A product designed for in-store performance

Release Date : 2011

The first reason that the Innova was chosen is the nature of the stock. Cosmetics products often use small odd-shaped barcodes, making fast accurate scanning difficult. The Innova Z-6170 meets this need with a single laser providing 20 scan lines at 1, 400 omnidirectional scans per second, ensuring the fastest scan rates. This is combined with ZEBEX unique Z-SCAN+ system and a high speed CPU; giving unbeatable rapid recognition even for reduced sized or damaged barcodes.

With aesthetics that enhance premier décor
The store refit sought to create a superior customer experience and the subtle elegance of the scanner’s design complements the décor and matches this experience. A soft pod-like shape creates an impression of quality that is only enhanced by indicators glow and soft tones created by the built in speaker. The beauty of the product was recognized when it won a Good Design Award and a Taiwan Excellence Award 2010.
Additional practical design touches include a large easy to use trigger button, replaceable cabling, and a unique plastic cup for flexible mounting.

But what does having the Innova hands-free scanner mean to the store’s staff and customers?
To gain a little more insight, let’s listen in on a concocted conversation between one of the shops most friendly assistants, Alice, and a regular customer, Sandra as they discuss the scanner in use.

AliceHi, Sandra, nice to see you again.
SandraHi Alice, wow you’ve been busy, this place looks stunning; I almost walked past the store.
AliceThe 20th anniversary refit, good excuse to give the shop a facelift.
SandraIt feels like a new shop, very classy. What’s neat gray thing perched on the side of the shelf?
AliceOur new scanner. It’s part of the updated POS system. There’s a plastic sucker on the bottom so it can stick at any angle and a hinge. Do you remember the old one we had?
Sandra  Yes, I always felt sorry bringing so many things to you with that one. You always needed to type in the barcodes on the little bottles because it never seemed to read them. Is this one better?
Alice     No comparison - this is far nicer, the laser picks up everything and if I press this it gives me a single line for those really tiny barcodes on the eyeliners.
Sandra It sounds nicer too, more of a chime that a beep.
AliceI think that the management chose that, they wanted the tone to match the style of the refit.
Sandra  You can see their point. The design does bring a certain modern elegance to the shop. Although there is one big disadvantage with your new classy scanner … it might be quicker and more efficient, but we get far less time to chat…
