Scanning, processing, and directly printing barcodes and data matrix codes

Marking often needs to be created and printed based on existing markings in industry, services, and logistics, e.g. when marking parts in plain text rather than barcodes or when marking the outer packaging. Several work steps are typically required for this. First, the existing code needs to be scanned. Subsequently, it must be fed into a database that creates the appropriate new code from it before it finally needs to be applied to the product or packaging safely and reliably.

A single step can replace this time-consuming and error-prone procedure with the help of REINER®’s jetStamp® 1025 sense barcode reader. The barcode reader expands the mobile handheld jetStamp® 1025 sense printer, an industrial scanner that reads barcodes and QR codes quickly and easily. It sends the corresponding information directly to the integrated mobile printer, where a new print image is created based on your presettings. The result can be printed directly on virtually any material or surface.

Overview of the special features of jetStamp® 1025 sense with sensor 1D/2D Code Reader:

Safe and cost-efficient marking of goods is important across virtually all industries, through the marking purpose may differ significantly. Multi-stage manufacturing processes, for example, use markings to identify individual components for the corresponding processing steps. Markings are essential for further processing of pallets in the field of warehouse logistics, and unique marking is equally important for traceability in the food industry.

No matter the differences between application areas, they all rely on machine-readable codes that can only be read with a scanner.

The scanner and printer must interact if 1D and 2D codes are to be recreated and printed in the same work step in addition to being read out. REINER®’s jetStamp® 1025 sense barcode reader/printer combines both functions in a single fully mobile industrial application device to save time and costs due to needing only a single device for the entire process.

REINER®’s barcode reader is a scanner that can be attached to another device for virtually any applications. It is equally suitable for 2D codes (data matrix codes) and 1D codes (barcodes), while also being network-compatible in any industrial environment. On top of their functions, our products are always aligned with comfortable handling, which makes our mobile scanner-and-printer solution particularly easy and intuitive to use.

REINER®’s robust, lightweight, and mobile printers with scanner blend harmoniously into any existing work environment. Not least due to their very robust build, the printer-scanners can be used as a mobile marking solution in virtually any conceivable working environment. They efficiently link analogue processes to digital applications. Find a number of example industries where our mobile marking solutions have proven themselves below.

Many industries continue to use labels to mark their components, products, and packaging, even though this form of marking has a number of disadvantages. Labels are extremely inflexible in their application. A sufficient stock of correct labels must be kept at all times. Spontaneous marking changes generally are not possible. Labels also do not meet the high reliability requirements of permanent marking. They may be rendered illegible or detached due to moisture, dirt, or abrasion, preventing identification or traceability.

Last but not least, labels represent avoidable waste. After all, REINER®’s mobile printer-scanner solution renders them entirely obsolete. Barcodes, data matrix codes, and QR codes, as well as plain text and images, can be printed directly onto the respective products for greatest flexibility in marking that eventually reduces overhead expenses.

There is a general distinction between one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional codes that encode information in the form of an area in two dimensions. Find a brief overview of the most common types of codes below.
