Barcode Scanners & Data Capture
Industrial and commercial scanning solutions for counters, production lines, warehouses and fixed scanning points.
Overview
Scanner types
Barcode scanning remains the most widely used automatic identification method: it is fast, inexpensive per label and supported by almost every business system.
The right scanner depends on the code types, scanning distance, volume, environment and how the scanner connects to the host. Novatelia reviews these factors and coordinates options with technology partners.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
01What is the difference between barcode and RFID?
Barcode scanning reads one printed label at a time and needs line of sight. RFID reads radio tags without line of sight and can read many tags at once, which speeds up counting and tracking. Barcodes cost less per item; RFID suits high-volume counting, asset tracking and automated portals. Many operations use both.
02Do I need a 2D scanner?
A 2D imager is needed to read QR codes, Data Matrix codes or codes shown on phone screens, and it also reads most 1D barcodes. If only traditional linear barcodes are used, a 1D scanner can be sufficient.
03Can a scanner connect to our existing software?
Most scanners act as a keyboard input over USB or Bluetooth, so they work with existing applications without software changes. Specific integrations, such as serial protocols or SDKs, are confirmed during requirement review.
