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.
