Rugged, Durable, and High-Performing Data collection is embedded in almost every workflow in every industrial activity: manufacturing, quality control, supply chain management, tracking/tracing, and many more. A barcode reader that is capable of reading all barcodes under tough conditions is mission critical in these enterprise processes. Code’s CR1500 is designed to overcome, exceed these challenges with ease by leveraging Code’s years of experience in image processing, decoding and optical design.

Whether you need to read poor-quality codes printed on varied surfaces, laser etched direct part marks (DPM) during manufacturing processes, or barcodes as small as 2 mil — there is a model of the CR1500 up to your task. And no matter your system requirements, Code’s unique JavaScript platform provides unlimited customization options to meet your application needs.

Powered by a proprietary microprocessor specifically designed for super-fast image processing and a best-in-class decoder, the CR1500 is the compact yet durable high-performance 2D barcode reader of choice for all your challenging data collection applications. Best Sensor in class for CR1500; CMOS 1.2 Megapixel 1280 x 960
