The AIDC market has undergone momentous change over the last 18 months. Consolidation, outsourcing, and end-user purchase patterns have reshaped the competitive landscape within the scanner and printer markets. AutoID, GPS, wireless networking and sensing technologies have converged to improve supply chain visibility for end-users and have suppliers scrambling to position themselves for the coming wave. Some of the repositioning is taking the form of acquisitions such as Zebra?s acquisitions of Wherenet, Navis, Proveo and MSS to gain entry into the RTLS space, Honeywell?s acquisitions of Hand Held Products and Metrologic, as well as TEC?s acquisition of Tohoku Ricoh?s AIDC printer business.
