Advanced barcode reading for warehouse, distribution and fulfillment centers DataMan logistics barcode readers combine the benefits of image-based readers with the ease-of-use and cost of laser scanners for your postal, parcel and package sorting operations. The highest read rates Data Man readers have the proprietary barcode reading software with Hotbars image-analysis technology which enables them to read codes that laser scanners and other readers cannot, including damaged or poorly presented 1-D linear barcodes. Read rates that can meet and surpass 99.9%. DataMan readers can also read 2-D codes, which laser scanners cannot.
