High-speed 1-D barcode scanning

The new DataMan 300 barcode reader for high speed logistics applications, available to take on fixed 1-D code reading for high speed tote scanning, label print and apply verification and carton code reading, complements the powerful DataMan 500 reader for the logistics, retail fulfilment and distribution markets.

With this new release, the Cognex algorithm, 1DMax+? is paired with Hotbars? technology, which uses texture to locate barcodes at any orientation, and then extracts high-resolution 1-D signals for decoding. Hotbars combines superior signal fidelity with lightning speed, giving this next generation of readers unprecedented performance.

Lower-priced camera-based barcode readers achieve future proofing as 2-D matrix codes are becoming more prevalent through all industries. Higher read rates also reduce costs and increase throughput.
