Key Features
One device offers greater traceability and throughput for complex logistics operations
Run your logistics lines at the highest speeds while maintaining exceptional read rates even with close package proximity thanks to 1D/2D QuickSort. This embedded technology optimizes read rates during high-speed operations by using AI to quickly locate barcodes. The algorithm also enables faster throughput by simultaneously decoding 1D/2D codes.
Scan larger areas on your logistics and manufacturing lines with ease. A wide field of view minimizes the need for multiple readers, streamlining your setup while capturing more barcodes in a single image.
Advanced image formation technologies excel in low-contrast environments, adapting to varying package sizes and handling damaged codes with precision. The combination of a high-resolution imager and advanced decoding technologies enables the reader to cover larger areas and read damaged and obscured barcodes, increasing throughput and read rates.
Synchronize multiple barcode readers to extend your field of view or simultaneously capture every side of an object for multi-side barcode reading. Multi-reader sync technology seamlessly increases coverage by having a primary reader to collect data from secondary readers and communicate the results to a control system.

Extensive coverage and seamless deployments through advanced technology
Enhance code readability, even in low-contrast environments, to improve read rates and expand coverage for greater efficiencies. HDR+ automatically increases contrast to create a more uniform image, enabling greater depth-of-field, faster line speeds, and improved material handling.
Dynamic autofocus automatically adjusts to different sized packages without mechanical parts – allowing you to automate high-speed, high-variability applications using fewer cameras and in less time.
Maximize scanning coverage and improve code reading with the High-Powered Integrated Torch. The HPIT is available in red or white, ensuring optimal contrast for your application, greater depth of field, and high read rates in any environment.
Multicolor LED indicators provide real-time, color-coded feedback to operators.

Testimonials
"We think [the DataMan 380 is] really cool because they have a very large depth of field and field of view. It basically includes everything you could ever want. In the past, this has seemed unachievable because typically you’d need between seven and nine cameras and when they have read issues, it’s hard to pinpoint, hard to set up, and hard to figure out which is underperforming. One camera per side of the box is fantastic, so we’re keen to adopt this early on.”
