Barcode and 2D scanners
In order to choose the most suitable scanner, it is vital to answer the following questions:
- How big or small will the size of the code be? Maybe they will be of different sizes?
- What will be the quality of the code? (damaged, blurry, tight). Is there a chance the need will be to scan partially damaged codes?
- In what conditions will the scanner be used? Outdoors, humid, dusty, very cold or hot, room temperature?
- What is the expected level of endurance of the scanner? Will it be used in extreem, industrial conditions (e.g. in production or storage premises), or in less sensitive environment (e.g. office, store, library, etc.)?
- What is the needed speed of scanning? Will it be needed to scan the codes seldomly with great ease of time interval in between, or at very high pace (e.g. on a production or packing lines)?
- At what distance will the codes be scanned from? Codes can be scanned from a single milimeter on to a distance of 10 meters (e.g. a cashier at a store or a warehouse worker in an electromobile). Certainly, size of the barcode is of importance.
- Will it be needed to cable-connect the scanner to a computer or a cash register, or would it be more convenient to use a wireless scanner? You may move around the premises and get as far as 10 meters from your work station with a wireless scanner (e.g. should you have large goods which inconvenient for moving to your work place for scanning).
We will help you choose the most suitable solution
Taking into account all the criteria mentioned above, we will recommend the most optimal scanner for your requirements. In order to be sure of the effectiveness of the scanner, as well as its quality and capabilities, we offer individual testing of the scanner before purchase in our or your office, shop or work premises.

We offer
Linear Imager un CCD technology scanners
These devices “take a photo” of the whole barcode and after that identifies the data embeded. Scanner is capabale of working with damaged, blurry and worn out barcodes. Thanks to the image recognition technology, the scanner can recognize barcodes also on computer screens and mobile devices.
Laser technology scanners
Movable, rotating mirror steers the laser beam to spotlight and read the barcode. These scanners can read barcodes from a long distance. For instance, stationary scanners with many moving mirrors are being used at your local supermarket cash registers, creating a few beams which allows to read the barcode faster when the product is moved closer to it at different angles. For these type of devices it is harder to read the barcode if it’s damaged.
2D barcode scanners
Precise and fast at scanning all sorts of 2D codes and barcodes. Good at reading damaged 2D codes and barcodes. Also good at scanning barcodes from computer screens and mobile devices.
