Driving Sustainable, Standards-Ready Scanning with Datalogic’s Gryphon™ 4600 Series

Datalogic Gryphon scanner

As industries across Singapore accelerate digitalization and sustainability efforts, reliable and standards-based data capture is becoming essential. From retail checkout counters to hospital wards and factory floors, organizations need scanning solutions that deliver speed, accuracy, and future readiness without compromising environmental responsibility.

As a GS1 Singapore Solution Partner, Datalogic partners with GS1 Singapore to address these needs with the launch of the Gryphon™ 4600 series, a premium range of high-performance handheld scanners designed for advanced applications across Retail, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Transportation & Logistics.

High-Performance Scanning for Real-World Operations

The Gryphon™ 4600 series deliver fast, accurate first-pass reads of all common 1D and 2D barcodes, including GS1 Digital Link, digital watermarking, and dense high-resolution codes.

Powered by a dual-core processor, AI-driven neural decoding and enhanced motion tolerance, the scanners perform reliably even when barcodes are damaged, reflective, curved, or poorly printed.

This performance allows organizations to strengthen product identification, traceability, and data accuracy, which are key pillars of GS1 Standards.

 

Designed for Ease of Use and Productivity

  • Precise targeting with bright green central cross LED aimer
  • Clear good-read feedback via Green Spot, 3GL™ (3 Green Lights), and vibration
  • Adaptive illumination: warm white or red LED for screen and printed codes
  • Wireless freedom: Bluetooth® 5.2, STAR Cordless System, inductive charging for 24/7 operation

The Gryphon™ 4600 ergonomic design and intuitive interface make high-volume scanning effortless while minimizing operator fatigue and maintenance needs.

 

Sustainability Built into the Design

Sustainability is now becoming a competitive advantage and is no longer considered optional. Therefore, the Gryphon™ 4600 series is the first product in its category developed using an Eco-Design, LCA-based approach, reflecting Datalogic’s long-term sustainability strategy and supporting ESG priorities across GS1 Singapore members.

Key sustainability achievements include:

  • Significant reductions in plastic, rubber, and packaging materials
  • Up to 86% reduction in virgin plastic, replaced with high PCR recycled materials
  • Fully recyclable casing and optimised, lighter packaging
  • Enhanced durability, modularity, and ease of repair

By adopting eco-designed scanners, GS1 Singapore members can reduce environmental footprint, lower total cost of ownership, and support circular economy objectives.
