Barcode Scanners – Buy online in South Africa

Barcode scanners capture and decode barcodes - both linear (1D) and matrix (2D) - for seamless inventory, retail, logistics, healthcare and industrial workflows. Available in handheld, presentation, fixed-mount, wearable and mobile terminal formats, scanners connect via USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to match every environment.

Why choose a barcode scanner

• Speeds up checkout, inventory audits and asset tracking
 
• Supports both 1D (e.g., UPC, EAN) and 2D (e.g., QR, Data Matrix) codes
 
• Options for tough environments with rugged, IP-rated models
 
• Hands-free presentation scanners for retail counters
 
• Wireless models extend scanning range and mobility

Types of barcode scanners

• Handheld scanners – Ergonomic guns, corded or wireless, ideal for general POS and warehouse use
 
• Presentation (on-counter) scanners – Hands-free window for fast customer scanning at retail checkouts
 
• Fixed-mount scanners – Integrated into production or sorter lines for automatic, high-speed scanning

Scanning technology

• Laser – Fast 1D scanning via reflected beam; reliable in well-lit conditions
 
• CCD / LED (linear imagers) – Solid-state array for close-range scanning of 1D codes
 
• Image / area imager – Captures barcode as an image; reads both 1D and 2D codes and works off screens or damaged prints
