Omnidirectional Scanners...

Barcodes have (literally) become a distinguishing mark of the modern era. The familiar stripes are almost everywhere in everyday life; libraries, retail stores, supermarkets, post offices, law firms, shipping companies, couriers, manufacturers, hospitals, etc. The benefits of bar coding are obvious. Improved data accuracy and accessibility enable a company to make correct decisions about future needs and actions. Although the applicable areas of barcode are extremely varied, the purpose is the same, improving data/materials management and reducing operation costs. This requires a high performance barcode scanning solution.

Omnidirectional scanning uses a series of scanning lines of varying directions in the form of a starburst or other multiangle arrangement projected at the symbol. One or more of these beams will cross all of the symbol's bars and spaces. The Scantech ID range of scanners use a laser pattern of beams in varying orientations allowing them to read barcodes presented at different angles. Omnidirectional scanners are most familiar through the flatbed scanners used at the supermarket checkout where packages are slid across a glass window. There are a range of different units available for varying scanning applications, from close range retail to industrial conveyor scanning where the unit might be fixed several metres away from the code. Omni-directional scanners are also better at reading poorly printed, wrinkled, or even torn barcodes.
