JADAK Now Offers OEMs a “One-Stop Shop”

General Scanning Printer Technologies has become part of JADAK, a manufacturer of machine vision, radio-frequency identification (RFID) and barcode products for health care and life science industries.

With the addition of General Scanning Printer Technologies, JADAK now develops and sells real-time chart recorder and thermal printer technology for time-based data logging. Both companies are owned by GSI Group and work extensively with medical device original equipment manufacturers(OEMs).

“General Scanning Chart Recorders are known all over the world as the industry standard for elite chart recording solutions, with sharp data output with resolutions up to 800 dots per inch,” said David Miller, president of JADAK. “By joining forces with General Scanning, JADAK is able to bring additional value to our medical customers, many of whom also have a need for chart recorders. It gives them a ‘one-stop shop’ for their data collection, chart recorder and thermal printer needs. Furthermore, this move demonstrates our deep commitment to helping reduce medical errors, increase patient safety and improve the efficiency of health care across a broad spectrum of applications and procedures.”

“JADAK is a leader for best-in-class data collection platforms and a wide-range of customer support solutions,” said Scott Oppenheim, director of product management, printer technologies, JADAK. “In addition to offering elite chart recorder and thermal printer platforms, we’re excited that General Scanning Printer Technologies customers will now have access to JADAK’s data collection experience and expertise, world-class engineering resources and larger service team.”

The combination of these two solutions-oriented companies will also benefit customers who need to collect and document data in other industries, such as industrial automation, lottery and gaming, kiosk and customer engagement, law enforcement, telemetry and environmental sciences.

Facilities will remain at JADAK’s headquarters in Syracuse and at the General Scanning facilities in Bedford, Massachusetts.
