Long Range Barcode Scanners

Scan Farther, Work Smarter, Move Faster.

Long range barcode scanners are built for environments where standard scanners can’t reach—like large warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, or loading docks. With the ability to scan barcodes from as far as 20+ meters, these rugged devices provide powerful performance in demanding, high-volume workflows.

🔍 What is a Long Range Barcode Scanner?

A long range barcode scanner uses enhanced optics and powerful decoding algorithms to read 1D and 2D barcodes from a distance—whether they’re on high warehouse shelves, across conveyors, or in harsh lighting conditions. These scanners are usually cordless and designed for durability in industrial settings.
