Scanners are essential tools in industrial and automation applications, enabling rapid data capture, quality control, and inventory management. Common types include barcode scanners (1D/2D), RFID scanners, and industrial vision scanners for automated inspection. Key features often include rugged designs for harsh environments, high-speed decoding, long-range capabilities, and integration with PLCs or warehouse management systems. Popular models may include handheld scanners, fixed-mount scanners, or mobile computer-based scanners with advanced imaging technology. These devices support traceability, process automation, and error reduction in manufacturing, logistics, and maintenance operations.
