 | Barcode Label Printers
Printers used to print bar code labels that can be adhered to inventory items or other assets that require tracking. |  | Barcode Scanners
Barcode equipment designed to read imprinted barcodes or 2D matrix code symbologies and send the information to a host computer. Barcode scanners and decoders can be slot card scanners, wand scanners, CCD scanners, laser scanners, imagers, fixed mount scanners, or hands-free scanners. | |
 | Barcode Verifiers
Devices that make measurements of the bars, spaces, quiet zones and optical characteristics of a barcode symbol to determine if it meets the requirements of a specification or standard. Used to ensure barcodes can be read by barcode scanners. |  | Data Collection Terminals
Hand-held barcode equipment used to collect data by reading both 1D and 2D matrix barcodes. They store data for later processing or can be used as online terminals in a wireless LAN environment. | |
 | Magnetic Stripe Slot Readers
Input devices that read magnetic stripe media off of identity cards such as credit cards or ID cards. Typically consists of a reader, decoder, and host interface cable. |  | OCR/MICR Scanners
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) devices. These devices read specially encoded characters (OCR-A, OCR-B, E13B, EMCA-11, etc.) printed on forms or remittance stubs and transmits the information to a host computer. | |
 | Point of Sale (POS)
POS (Point of Sale) Systems that are equivalent to an electronic cash register. POS systems are used in hotels, restaurants, casinos, grocery stores and almost any type of retail business. |  | RFID
Wireless AIDC systems that use radio frequency signals to identify assets. As an alternative to barcode equipment, RFID uses non-contact readers to activate small radio transponders that emit a unique ID code or other information in its memory. | |
 | Software
AIDC software that utilizes barcode, OCR, MICR, RFID technologies to track inventory, assets or other property. Software is used to print bar codes, track items, perform time and attendance, and other functions. |  | Wireless Network (RF) Devices
Wireless devices that send and receive information by Radio Frequency (RF). Wireless LAN products extend the range of typical wired LANs to cover remote areas of a plant facility. Wireless LANs allow real-time, two-way exchange of data between workers on a plant floor and the host computer. |
