Streamline data capture with flexible barcode scanning solutions

From handheld scanners to fixed systems, Reynolds offers advanced barcode scanning technologies to speed up data entry, improve traceability, and automate workflows across your production and logistics processes.

Whether you're scanning products on packing lines, inspecting cartons in warehouses, or verifying batches in dispatch areas, our scanning solutions ensure fast, reliable, and error-free operations.

 

How barcode scanning works

Our barcode scanning technologies range from mobile handheld units to fixed-position readers. These scanners decode 1D and 2D barcodes quickly, even on moving packaging or through shrink-wrap, and feed data directly into your systems or capture software.

 

Scanning Technology Options

Reynolds offers a range of barcode scanning systems to suit different production environments from manual operations to fully automated lines.

 

Handheld Scanners

Ideal for tasks like batch tracking, warehouse picking, or spot-checking products on the line, handheld scanners offer flexibility and ease of use.

Benefits:

  • Mobility for scanning across multiple areas
  • Ability to read both 1D and 2D barcodes
  • Durable designs suited to industrial environments
  • Compatible with handheld terminals or laptops

Fixed-Mount Scanners

Automated scanning with speed and precision

Fixed barcode readers can be mounted over conveyors or at pack stations to automate scanning, immediately verifying barcodes without slowing down your line.

 

Benefits:

  • High-speed, hands-free operation
  • Reads through shrink-wrap or variable packaging conditions
  • Seamless integration with conveyor and line controls
  • Ideal for final dispatch checks or case verification

Vision-Based Scanning Systems

Advanced imaging for complex or detailed inspections

Vision systems scan entire code structures using high-resolution cameras, perfect for verifying QR codes, DataMatrix, and inspecting label quality or presence.

Benefits:

  • Ability to verify print quality and detect damage
  • Reads complex 2D barcodes with high accuracy
  • Configurable for position, orientation, and contrast checks
  • Integrates with vision inspection workflows
