What Is a Fixed-Mount Barcode Scanner?
A fixed-mount barcode scanner is a specialized device designed for the automatic scanning and decoding of barcodes. These scanners are typically installed in stationary positions, such as along conveyor belts or within specific scanning stations, where they automatically read the barcodes of items passing in front of them.
Utilizing light, typically from LEDs or lasers, fixed-mount barcode scanners capture and interpret the barcode’s data, transmitting this information to a connected system or database. This automation supports various operational needs, including product tracking, inventory management, and sales data aggregation, facilitating a seamless flow of information.
With their ability to deliver quick and precise barcode reading, fixed-mount scanners significantly contribute to operational efficiency. They employ advanced optical sensors and image processing technologies to decipher both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, making them versatile tools for various applications.
