Powered by Smart Vision Suite for Retail, Datalogic’s new embedded AI solution for real-time loss prevention, Magellan scanners bring intelligence directly to the checkout.

The best-selling in-counter scanners for assisted and self-checkout just became even more powerful. With embedded AI, cutting-edge styling, a rugged design, and industry-leading scanning performance, the Magellan 9900i redefines the modern checkout. Backed by more than 40 years of Datalogic innovation, this new generation introduces AI-ready models and Edge-based Loss Prevention solutions that transform the checkout into a strategic point of efficiency and shrink control. 

Datalogic is releasing a next-generation proprietary suite of AI-powered Loss Prevention functions embedded directly into the Magellan™ 9900i. The result? Enhanced loss prevention at the checkout through a combination of advanced vision and AI that detects and deters common sources of shrinkage.

• Produce Recognition: Accurately identifies non-barcoded items to boost checkout productivity and protect margins by preventing incorrect item selection.
  
  
• Mis-scan: Detects behavioral patterns that indicate products are being moved across the platter area without scanning.
  
  
• Label Switching: Identifies barcode manipulation or overlapping items that may cause price discrepancies or missed scans.
  
  
• Multiple Items: Detects multiple stacked products that could bypass individual barcode reads.

The AI-enabled 9900i variant expands capabilities with Edge-based intelligence for advanced shrink detection.

• Two integrated high-resolution color cameras, one embedded in the platter and one in the Top-Down Reader (TDR), capture and stream images for advanced product detection through visual checks.
  
  
• A Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch enables seamless and easy connectivity for up to five cameras or accessories, supporting advanced AI capabilities.
  
  
• A comprehensive SDK (Software Development Kit) empowers third-party developers to create tailored applications and integrations.
  
  
• A built-in Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) and high-performance neural processor enable AI-based applications at the Edge.
  
  
• An API set allows the straightforward integration of Loss Prevention services into POS/SCO solutions.
  
  
• Flexible camera integration supports overhead and under-basket configurations, ensuring complete visual coverage in and around the checkout to enhance accuracy and security.

The 9900i offers the following amazing features as standard:

• Up to 50% faster 2D barcode reading compared with legacy models, reducing line times and boosting operational efficiency through QuadVision™ multicore processing.
  
  
• GS1 2D Digital Link and Digimarc ready, ensuring a future-proof solution for front-end retail applications.
  
  
• The easiest 6-sided scanning experience, reading all item surfaces without reorientation thanks to true Top-Down Reader (TDR) technology.
  
  
• Optional Customer-Facing Reader for loyalty card and coupon scanning.
  
  
• Drop-in replacement designed to fit any checkout layout and featuring a lower bonnet for improved ADA accessibility.
  
  
• Choose between traditional Loss Prevention with ScaleSentry ™, ScanSentry™, and EAS interlock, improving the bottom line with these inclusive features, or AI-assisted Loss Prevention with Beyond Barcode or Loss Prevention models.
  
  
• Low-profile bonnet enhances product visibility and accessibility for a better checkout experience.
  
  

Regardless of the model variant, every Magellan 9900i boasts an industry-leading ROI, continuing Datalogic’s domination of the scanner market. Each unit is protected by multiple levels of coverage through the Ease of Care service program, ensuring comprehensive support and protection throughout the product lifecycle. Datalogic continues to partner with leading global retailers, delivering pioneering solutions that drive greater efficiency, enable effective loss prevention, and ensure the most seamless checkout experience for both retailers and customers.
