DataMan 290 Fixed-Mount Series
AI-powered barcode reader for any code, application, or environment, built to solve a range of scanning challenges with ease
Fast, accurate scanning for the most demanding supply chains
In industries like consumer packaged goods (CPG) and logistics, where speed and accuracy are critical, every second counts. Reliable 1D and 2D barcode reading of individual and multiple codes is essential to ensure seamless operations, meet compliance, protect quality, and prevent disruptions.
Advanced, image-based scanning technologies help overcome challenges, keeping workflows efficient and error-free, while maintaining end-to-end visibility across the supply chain:
CPG: Barcodes often appear on multiple sides of packaging and must be scanned quickly, sometimes from sharp angles or in tough conditions like poorly lit environments. Damaged, low-contrast, or incomplete labels can disrupt operations, causing costly delays, product waste, reprints, and chargebacks.
Logistics: Packages often arrive in bulk, stacked irregularly, or moving rapidly on conveyors. Barcodes may be obscured, wrinkled, or printed on reflective surfaces. Inconsistent lighting, dust, and vibration further complicate scanning. Unreadable or misread labels can lead to misrouted shipments, inventory discrepancies, delivery delays, and increased operational costs.
The drive for faster automation and tighter delivery schedules is making labeling more complex, increasing the need for high-speed barcode scanners that ensure maximum accuracy and throughput across the supply chain.
Scan multiple codes in a single pass
On busy production lines, conventional barcode readers can’t process multiple codes quickly enough, struggle with motion blur, and miss codes that aren’t perfectly placed. Cognex DataMan barcode readers offer a fast and accurate way to automate data capture, boosting inventory accuracy and streamlining workflows to get the job done.
Powered by advanced decoding algorithms and industry-leading 99.9% read rates, Cognex readers reliably capture both 1D and 2D barcodes, even when codes are degraded, unevenly applied, recessed, or printed on curved or reflective surfaces.
With a wide field of view and large depth of field, these scanners can read many codes simultaneously, making them ideal for high-throughput applications like serialization, packaging, and traceability, while reducing scan times, manual repositioning, and read errors.
Cognex barcode readers reliably scan multiple codes at high volumes.
Cognex ensures every read, at any speed
From high-throughput packaging lines to complex distribution centers, Cognex DataMan barcode readers deliver unmatched performance in 1D and 2D code decoding - whether you're scanning a single label or capturing multiple barcodes in seconds.
Available in fixed-mount and handheld models, these readers give you:
- Improved readability, traceability, and supply chain visibility
- High-performance scanning with minimal setup
- Easy integration with existing systems and fast-moving production lines
And with Cognex expert support – online, on-site, or on-demand – you have the resources you need to stay ahead.
