Handheld reader for data-matrix and barcode PEPPERL FUCHS
Barcodes and data matrix code are pure fixed code systems. The code is applied to a label (e.g., in the form of a bar code or a 2D matrix code). These labels are scanned / recorded optically according to the reflection principle. The code is then read based on the sequential differences in intensity. Barcodes are read using scanning equipment (laser scanners or CCD technology) and matrix codes using an image recognition process with a camera. Both optical code types can be created with commercially-available printers and are therefore unbeatably inexpensive.
