YES!! WE DID IT! 1,000,000 !!!!!!!!!

Like a proud parent, we are pleased to announce the 1,000,000th Magellan bi-optic scanner entered the world at 11:14 am PST on April 30, 2010! 

Thanks a ‘million' to each of our customers and make sure to check our Facebook winner at "The One Millionth Magellan Birthday Countdown".

After sixteen years of designing and manufacturing the world's best selling bi-optic scanner, Datalogic Scanning has produced the one millionth Magellan^TM bi-optic scanner. This milestone is not only significant for Datalogic Scanning, but for our customers and the AIDC industry as a whole.

In 1994, we introduced the first Magellan bi-optic scanner to the world, called simply "The Magellan Scanner." Named after the explorer who was the first to venture around the world, the Magellan Scanner was the industry's front-runner as the first scanner with 360-degree scanning technology. Although this feature is standard in most high volume retail scanners today, at the time, it set the stage for incredible innovations for the point-of-sale in the retail supermarket industry in the past and for years to come.

Since its introduction, the original Magellan scanner has evolved into eight different models, ending with the latest and greatest, Magellan 8500Xt and has been sold or shipped to 97 different countries and further distributed with the help of our global partner network. You can happily find a Magellan scanner on every continent except Antarctica! Hmmm...anyone got a parka?
