My dot join for the month. This may not have any relation to Prophesee and/or us. But it may be worth keeping an eye on.
Remember this partnership between Prophesee and Datalogic?
Datalogic, on the leading-edge of the most innovative technologies, partners with Prophesee to bring the performance and efficiency of neuromorphic vision to its industrial products

Datalogic is joining forces with Paris-based Prophesee, a company that invented advanced neuromorphic vision systems and is working to build the next generation of industrial products.
“We are conducting a very fruitful partnership with Prophesee,” said Michele Benedetti, chief technology officer at Datalogic. “Neuromorphic vision is a fascinating technology inspired by the behavior of the human biological system, exactly like neural networks. We believe that the combination of these technologies will provide innovative solutions to our customers.”
Their newly released product - Magellan 9900i

The Next Generation is Here
The #1 selling ‘in counter’ scanner for
assisted and
self-checkout scanning just got better. Fresh styling, rugged design, industry-leading scanning performance and new options that enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the checkout place the Magellan 9900i portfolio in a class of its own!
In 2013, Datalogic established a unique scanner style with our 2.7 inch / 6.8 cm tower (bonnet), and the 9900i continues to support this popular form factor. The lower height allows customers to better meet ADA compliance and improve the customer experience. Three chassis lengths, multiple check stand mounting options and the addition of a Top Down Reader (TDR) allows customers to customize a solution that best meets their
assisted and
self-checkout needs.
With basic and advanced configurations, the 9900i scanners and
multi-plane imaging scanner/scales are the perfect Point of Sale (POS) companion for all high-volume check-out environments.
Improve the Cashier or Customer Experience
Packed with the latest imaging technology, the 9900i scanners offer the highest scan volume in its class. This ensures the fastest read rates and ease-of-use regardless of 1D, 2D, GS1 or Digimarc symbologies.
The new Magellan scanners feature capacitive touch buttons and smooth surfaces to ensure the above counter areas are easy to clean and sanitize.
The upcoming 9900i TDR option increases scan volume by 20% and adds an industry-unique sixth-side view of items crossing the platter for the ultimate scanning experience. The TDR is available in 3 heights and offers an optional integrated customer facing reader, allowing customers to scan mobile devices and coupons independent of a cashier in assisted lanes, improving efficiency.
Features for Today and the Future
Magellan 9900i is powered by QuadVision™, a multi-core processor and multi-camera system with an embedded Linux operating system to future-proof the platform.
ScanSentry™ color camera options and neural processors (available in 2023) will result in a checkout fully capable of supporting Artificial Intelligence (AI) software that will increase customer satisfaction and improve loss prevention.
Unique Features
- 2.7” / 6.8 cm bonnet height allows for layout flexibility at the POS or SCO.
- The Magellan 9900i features QuadVision™, a powerful IMX8 multi-core processor with 4 cameras (2 horizontal and 2 vertical) that brings world-class processing power to the scanner. The 9900i delivers multiple high resolution images with each scan. Combine the powerful processors, 5-sided image capture and Datalogic’s legendary software and you have unprecedented performance to decode the most difficult and/or damaged barcodes. In addition, future optional integrated color cameras and color TDRs can be used for machine learning image capture and simultaneous video streaming via USB 3.0 for loss prevention.
- Optional built-in neural processors and accelerators enable trillions of operations per second inside the scanner, eliminating the need for additional servers or cloud connections at the checkout.
- Note that performance has already been optimized for the future GS1 Digital Link symbology, which associates valuable manufacturing and health safety details with each transaction. However, the final GS1 decoding will be updated during pilot testing.
