MVP Series Product Guide - 27 - Competitive Analysis
Brady MVP Series versus Intermec E4
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.
