Barcode Readers

Unmatched 1D and 2D code reading performance

Barcode readers acquire and report vast amounts of information quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. They are the backbone of industrial connectivity, from factory automation to point of sale (POS) at retail stores.  

Cognex’s extensive line of industrial barcode readers are durable, reliable, and deliver industry-leading read rates. Our barcode readers decode all types of 1D and 2D codes and marking methods, from printed labels to the hardest to read direct part mark (DPM) codes, even for codes with limited contrast, significant damage, or missing elements.

Cognex is the brand of choice thanks to advanced technology, modular options, rugged design, and intuitive set up. Plus, DataMan barcode readers contain no moving parts that can wear out or fail, making them ideal for industrial settings. No matter the application, Cognex barcode sensors help you reduce costs, optimize performance, increase throughput, and control traceability. Cognex offers fixed-mount, handheld, verifiers, and ESD-safe scanners.
