    Barcode<\/a> and two-dimensional (2D) code technologies have become a permanent fixture in industry.<\/strong> Whether controlling the circulation of raw materials, the production process or the operation of a warehouse, a code scanner<\/strong> significantly speeds up work and increases its security.<\/p>

    In this article, we outline which devices to choose in order to fully exploit the potential of<\/strong> automatic identification technology, even in harsh environments<\/strong> such as the chemical and metallurgical industries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Selecting handheld<\/strong> barcode scanner<\/strong><\/a> or 2D code scanner<\/strong><\/a> for industrial applications, it is worth paying attention to a robust, durable housing. The standard in this category of devices is IP65\/IP67 waterproofing<\/strong>. This means full protection from dust and resistance to liquids, and in the case of the higher grade (IP67) – also the possibility of short-term immersion in water. <\/p>

    Another key feature is the scanning module, which allows fast and precise reading of<\/strong> both 1D and 2D codes – even from several meters away. Depending on your needs, industrial scanners<\/strong> can connect to the central system either wired or wirelessly (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi). This makes them a flexible tool in warehouse logistics<\/strong> and production. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Stationary industrial scanners<\/strong><\/a> are designed for processes that do not require constant operator support. They are ideal for a wide range of industries – from logistics to manufacturing. They can operate in linear, single-plane, omni-directional or image analysis mode. <\/p>
