Bar Code Reader Tunes in Via Radio Waves

By combining bar code reading, radio transmission and batch functionality, Sick’s IT5620 device claims to set new standards in mobile hand-held scanning, offering users new levels of freedom in a variety of data collection operations. Developed for data detection in commissioning and production processes, this device offers a long radio range and the reading power of a linear image capture module. It is easy to use — via a ‘Presentation Mode’ — and is robust, being able to survive a drop of almost 2m onto a concrete floor and handling 5G vibrations at a variety of frequencies.

The IT5620 can be used wherever bar codes require mobile detection. Its imaging module handles poor quality bar codes, offers a reading distance of more than 1m and, with programmable scanning speeds up to 270 scans/second, readings can take place three times faster than with conventional laser scanners.

The unit has a data radio module for transmitting bar code data. Its integrated ‘frequency hopping process’ guarantees secure data transmission, which can be to a radio data-enabled host or to a base station that can communicate with up to seven IT 5620 units. The base station, as well as charging the unit, also serves as a mounting for stationary use.
