1D/14D code readers are a category of industrial barcode scanners, often associated with brands like Datalogic, Zebra Technologies, and Honeywell, which are leading manufacturers in this field. These companies are based in Italy (Datalogic), the USA (Zebra Technologies and Honeywell), and serve industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and retail. The primary products include handheld, fixed-mount, and mobile barcode scanners capable of reading 1D (linear) and 2D (matrix) barcodes, with '14D' likely being a typographical variation or niche specification. These devices are essential for inventory tracking, asset management, and process automation, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in industrial operations. They are widely available through industrial suppliers like Radwell and Grainger.
