Image-based Barcode Readers for the Logistics Industry

DataMan barcode scanners consistently provide higher read rates than laser scanners and overcome other limitations of laser scanners, such as short product life, inability to adapt to variations in package size and/or quality of barcodes.

DataMan systems combine the performance of image-based equipment with the cost and ease of use of lasers and can help the logistics industry achieve:

• Higher read rates that can reduce costs and increase throughput,
• Visualization to access data for continuous process improvement,
• Lower equipment costs because imagers have no moving parts, and
• Future proofing as 2-D matrix codes are becoming more prevalent through all industries.

DataMan barcode scanners are used for code reading, tracking and sorting in a variety of industries. DataMan 500 was the first image-based reader to be able to successfully accomplish logistics applications that were traditionally dominated by laser scanners. DataMan barcode scanners are ideal for many retail and parcel distribution, postal and logistics applications.
