Fixed mount

Cognex DataMan fixed-mount barcode readers offer unmatched 1D and 2D code reading performance. Advanced technology, processing power, modularity, and ease of use make DataMan barcode readers the ideal solution for challenging manufacturing and logistics applications.

Handheld

There are multiple types of barcode scanners, including fixed-mount and handheld. Companies often choose handheld barcode readers when they need flexibility and freedom of movement. 

Typically, manufacturing environments in industries such as automotive, medical device, electronics, aerospace, and product security require rugged, high performing, and easy to use handheld barcode reading technology to ensure component traceability and productivity.

Cognex's DataMan handheld barcode readers can accommodate 1D and 2D label-based barcodes as well as direct part marked (DPM) codes for the widest variety of surfaces and marking methods. They are equipped with the latest patented technology, rugged housing, and modular communication options to withstand the harshest manufacturing and logistics environments.

Verifiers

“Barcode verification is the process of grading the quality of 1D, 2D, and direct part mark (DPM) codes. An increasing number of regulated industries require barcode verification. Barcode verifiers provide guidance through the marking process to create codes which meet minimum quality standards. Cognex barcode verifiers use high quality optics, advanced algorithms, and simple software to demonstrate compliance to industry standard guidelines.”
