What the SP72 is for

The SP72 Series speeds up checkout in grocery, convenience, pharmacy and specialty stores, for both manned lanes and self-checkout. It gives the throughput retailers need without the cost and bulk of a full bioptic scanner, and adds vision features that help reduce shrink at self-checkout. It anchors the counter end of the labelling and barcoding setups Sirap builds for retail.

Who it is for

Maltese grocery, convenience, pharmacy and specialty retailers wanting fast in-counter or on-counter scanning and self-checkout integration in a compact footprint. For a full high-volume bioptic scanner/scale, see the MP72; for handheld POS scanning, the DS8100 or DS2200; for hands-free presentation, the DS9300.

Fast checkouts, manned or self-service

Fits where you need it. The vertical SP72-V sits on a counter, wall or table and drops into self-checkout enclosures and kiosks; the horizontal SP72-H has a zero-footprint in-counter design and is a drop-in for popular legacy installs.

Swipe and go. High swipe speeds and a large reading area capture barcodes as fast as they are presented, so cashiers focus on the customer and self-checkout users get a seamless experience.

Reads it all. A 2.3 MP sensor and PRZM intelligent imaging capture virtually any 1D, 2D, Digimarc, paper and mobile barcode, even poorly printed, damaged or faded, with offset illumination for reflective codes on bottles, phones and cellophane.

Higher self-checkout ROI, less shrink

Vision applications (SP7208). An optional 2.3 MP colour camera enables vision-based loss prevention, for example detecting a cheap barcode placed on an expensive item, and the live video stream deters fraud.

Non-decode alerts. Trigger an alert when an item passes the field of view but no barcode is scanned, whether an accidental miss or a deliberate bypass.

Works with your loss-prevention systems. Upward-facing good-decode LEDs are visible to attendants and overhead cameras, and optional Checkpoint/Sensormatic EAS with Interlock deactivates tags only when the barcode is scanned, preventing sweethearting.

Better experience, lower cost of ownership

Eye-friendly and configurable. Recessed deep-red illumination activates only in the scan zone, with adjustable levels and custom feedback tones.

Flexible and reliable. An auxiliary port adds a handheld scanner for bulky items; IP52 sealing protects against spills and dust; the SP72-H offers Sapphire or DLC glass to match durability and budget.

Easy to deploy and manage. Multiple on-board interfaces, auto-host-detect cables, USB power (no external supply), DataCapture DNA tools (123Scan, SMS) and IoT Connector for real-time data.
