1D/5D code readers are not a specific brand but a category of industrial devices used for reading barcodes and QR codes in various sectors. These readers are produced by multiple companies worldwide, including prominent manufacturers like Honeywell (USA), Zebra Technologies (USA), and Datalogic (Italy). They serve industries such as manufacturing, logistics, retail, and healthcare by enabling efficient tracking and inventory management. Key products include handheld scanners, fixed-mount readers, and mobile computers with advanced decoding capabilities for 1D (linear) and 2D (matrix) barcodes, often referred to as '5D' in marketing contexts for enhanced functionality.
