1D/11D code readers are industrial barcode scanning devices, not a specific brand, but a category of products used across various industries for automated identification and data capture. These readers are manufactured by multiple companies globally, including prominent brands like Honeywell (USA), Zebra Technologies (USA), Datalogic (Italy), and KEYENCE (Japan). They serve sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, retail, and healthcare, enabling efficient tracking of products, inventory, and assets. 1D readers scan traditional linear barcodes, while 2D (often referred to as "11D" in some contexts) readers handle complex QR codes and matrix codes. Leading manufacturers integrate advanced features like image-based scanning, wireless connectivity, and rugged designs for harsh environments. Products range from handheld scanners to fixed-mount industrial readers, often sold through distributors like Radwell and Grainger.
