Barcode Scanner System

Overview

Description

E‑commerce and logistics growth worldwide has increased the volume of assets and the need for real‑time visibility into inventory and asset management. Industrial barcode scanners are instrumental across logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, retail, and other industries for efficient inventory and asset tracking.

This barcode scanner system can read both 1D and 2D barcodes, as well as NFC, using an integrated image‑based scanner with optional object detection enabled by a high‑performance image processor. Flexible data sharing via RS‑232, USB, or wireless communication allows integration across a wide range of industries and management systems. In addition, a broad set of optional HMI features enables scalable designs with support for audio feedback, display interfaces, and more. The system can be based on a variety of processors from the RZ MPU family, depending on the end application.

System Benefits​:

  • Optional advanced object detection with DRP‑AI acceleration provides edge intelligence for complex scanning scenarios, including multi‑code recognition and optical character recognition (OCR).
  • Robust and reliable scanning performance under varying ambient light conditions, supported by illumination flash LEDs.
    • IR LED illumination helps avoid visible flashing and reduces eye discomfort during operation.
    • Red LED aiming is used instead of a laser for safer operation.
  • Power‑efficient design reduces power consumption by using a proximity sensor to wake the system from standby when an object is detected, combined with low‑power components featuring smart wake‑up capabilities.

Grape Systems provides a wide range of source code libraries for encoding and decoding one‑dimensional barcodes and two‑dimensional codes. By using the dynamically reconfigurable processor (DRP) unique to the Renesas RZ/A2M MPU, a multi‑code reading demo (using GR‑MANGO Gadget Renesas Board) demonstrates high accuracy by reading and comparing results with the open‑source ZXing library. This also enables high‑speed scanning performance.
