WCMI——What is the working principle of those barcode scanners in supermarkets?

"A handheld laser scanner emits a beam of light through a laser diode, which shines on a rotating prism or a back-and-forth oscillating mirror. The reflected light passes through the reading window and shines on the barcode surface. After being reflected by the bars or spaces, the light returns to the reader, is collected and focused by a mirror, and is converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric converter. This signal is then decoded by the decoding software on the scanner or terminal."

"The laser head emits a laser beam onto a reflector, which is then reflected onto a quasi-mirror. The quasi-mirror vibrates due to the attraction and release of an electromagnet behind it, causing the reflection path and angle of the laser to change. This is equivalent to uniformly projecting a laser beam onto the barcode. The contrast between the barcode and the background color is detected by the sensor, allowing the barcode to be identified. The use of a laser to project a straight line is applied in many places."

Barcode scanners are efficient and accurate data collection tools, with core value lying in improving efficiency, ensuring accuracy, and enabling traceability.

Application scenarios cover the following areas:

Retail E-commerce: Used for fast checkout, inventory management, and warehouse picking.

Logistics and Warehousing: Used for end-to-end tracking and automated sorting of express parcels.

Medical and Pharmaceutical: Used for patient identification, drug management, and specimen traceability, ensuring safety.

Industrial Production: Used for tracking production processes, material management, and equipment maintenance.

Ticketing and Identification: Used for ticket verification and identity authentication.

We are a barcode scanner manufacturer and are looking for barcode scanner distributors and suppliers. We also offer custom and OEM barcode scanner services.
