OEM Embedded Barcode Solutions – Board Level

Our embedded barcode scan engine solutions are optimized for integration into OEM equipment including lab instrumentation, medical devices, kiosks, robotic systems, and a range of customer facing applications.

By integrating  a scan module or scan engine into your devices you can increase value, prevent the use of non authorized consumables, collect and expedite the input of data, and integrate your device into IoT to allow for easier tracking of data and data integrity.

With one of the largest selections of scan modules, and scan engines in the industry, and over 25 years of experience in the field, our barcode readers can be enclosed with plastic housing or come as a board level solution. We have scan modules and scan engines optimized for cost and performance and we have significant experience in designing solutions to meet a range of OEM embedded barcode applications.

Give us a call to explore how our engineering group can support your project and specific barcode scan engine and barcode scan module requirements.

OEM Scan Engines and Scan Modules

Scan modules or scan engines are small scanners that are designed to be easily embedded or integrated into a variety of machines, systems, or applications in order to add barcode reading capabilities to their host. These scan engines can be either a board level miniature scanner or an enclosed module in a housing when needed for protective reasons.  These scan modules provide a host of benefits including but not limited to:

• Consumables Authentication

  

In medical or lab equipment it can be critical to ensure that the user of a device is using a correct or approved consumable. Using a scan module that is embedded within a machine can help reduce or eliminate fraudulent consumable use by disabling operation or notifying a user when a barcode scan module detects a consumable is missing or contains the wrong data.

• Identity Verification

  

A popular use of a scan engine is to add identity verification to kiosks, terminals, and even package delivery lockers. In airports for example, passengers can present their tickets to be scanned while boarding. Scan modules can also be used in mail drop offs and autonomous lockers in the same manner.

• Sample Identification

  

Scan engines are also used to correctly identify, record, and track medical samples throughout testing processes and procedures. In the medical industry it is critical to maintain accurate records of sample collection, storage, and testing. Scan engines and embedded scan modules serve as a well proven and reliable solution for medical and lab instruments.

• Increase Throughput 

  

Whether reading passenger tickets in a kiosk or allowing entry to an automated locker, barcode scan modules and barcode scan engines significantly improve information collection and data flow increasing throughput in a host of applications. While increasing throughput scan modules also eliminate human error by providing accurate and instant information reading capabilities.

• Traceability 

  

Manufacturers need to trace every step of production in order to quickly find and identify the source of mistakes or contamination. To do this, items can be scanned and tracked at every step throughout their manufacturing process with different types of handheld or mounted scan engines and scan modules.

Our engineering group can assist you in choosing, implementing, and designing any of our scan modules or scan engines into your systems. Do not hesitate to contact us and speak to an engineer today.
