1D/24D code readers are industrial barcode scanning devices used for automated identification and data capture (AIDC). These readers belong to various brands, primarily from global manufacturers like Honeywell (USA), Zebra Technologies (USA), Datalogic (Italy), and Keyence (Japan). They serve industries such as manufacturing, logistics, retail, and healthcare, enabling efficient tracking of products, assets, and inventory. Key products include handheld scanners, fixed-mount readers, and mobile computers with advanced decoding capabilities for 1D (linear) and 2D (QR, Data Matrix) barcodes. Brands like Cognex (USA) and SICK (Germany) also offer high-performance variants for harsh environments. These devices are critical for supply chain automation and operational efficiency.
