Datalogic continues to assign great importance to the activities of research and development, directed at the pursuit of continuous technological innovation. Datalogic, in fact, invests 8% of its turnover in this, and already has almost 200 patents on a world level.

During 2000, an "E-business unit" is created in order to be present on the market with CRM solutions for modern distribution.
These are solutions for self-shopping, such as Shopevolution, which includes the use of a small handheld computer with an integrated bar code reader, allowing one to shop quickly, enjoyably and above all without any queue.

In March 2001 Datalogic is quoted on the New Market of the Milan stock exchange, an event which is to coincide with the process of renewal of the company's institutional image.

In the same year it begins the ACTIVE PROJECT, a path towards profound change and innovation both in organizational and technological terms, based on redesigning vital Datalogic processes, the implementation of a new ERP application system and support for change.

In the meantime, the company's expansion continues both outside, with important acquisitions in the world (such as the acquisition of the Swedish company, Minec) and inside, with the enlargement of its headquarters.

In May 2004 a new factory for mobile computers is inaugurated, unique in Europe, at Quinto in Treviso.

In December 2004 the acquisition of Laservall S.p.a. is concluded, a company active in the field of laser marking systems and personal identification and security.
