Image-based barcode readers utilize optical recognition technology to scan and decode barcodes by capturing an image using a camera or image sensor, rather than employing traditional laser scanning methods. These devices capture an image of the barcode, employ software to extract encoded information, and interpret it for various applications such as inventory management, logistics, and retail operations.
The primary categories of image-based barcode readers include handheld and stationary types. A handheld barcode reader is a portable device equipped with a scanner that uses either laser or camera technology to capture and decode barcode data. These devices employ different technologies such as S-mounted and C-mounted lenses, and offer connectivity options such as USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Power over Ethernet (PoE). They are used across retail, wholesale, logistics, warehouse management, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, food and beverage, semiconductors, general manufacturing, commercial aviation, and defense sectors.
