When you need hands-free barcode scanning at a workstation or for scanning items on a conveyor, fixed mount barcodes are the ideal solution. At FOVEOS, we help you get the best fixed mount barcode scanners for your operation by offering numerous options and the ability customize your scanners for your needs. Whether you need to identify hard-to-scan direct product markings (DPM), scan from mobile displays, or integrate your scanner with older equipment, FOVEOS offers options that help you get the best fixed mount barcode scanners for your situation.
When you are looking for a fixed mount barcode scanner, you want to find one that will slip seamlessly into your operations. Whether you’re in a retail business, hospitality, warehousing, or manufacturing, you want a barcode scanner that will increase your efficiency, not require you to make costly modifications to your workstations, hardware, or processes.
With our exclusive Adaptive Systems Approach™, FOVEOS lets you customize your fixed mount barcode scanner solution. You’ll get barcode scanners that can integrate seamlessly into your application. We have barcode scanner experts that can walk you through the process of finding the best fixed mount barcode scanner for your operation.
At FOVEOS, you aren’t limited to the “off-the-shelf” barcode scanner options you find from other suppliers. We don’t simply pass on the product from the manufacturer, we have custom engineering capabilities to help you mix-and-match the right options so barcode scanners will work in your space and fit in your procedures.
At FOVEOS, you can select:
At FOVEOS, choose from three different scanner types:
Standard scanners work great for most basic barcode applications. They will read barcodes on boxes, packages, envelopes, mobile displays, and more, then send the information to a PLC (programmable logic controller) or computer.
Miniature scanners are designed to be small so they work in places where you have space constraints. Get big efficiency in a small package.
DPM scanners are specially made for reading barcodes put directly on products. Our DPM scanners don’t simply rely on software to try to interpret fuzzy images – we use advanced lighting and precise optics to improve the image, then apply powerful decoding software for maximum accuracy. This is a challenging application, and it can have tight tolerances. Mistakes can be costly, and you need a scanner you can rely on to give you accurate readings.
Most barcode scanners have built-in (integrated) LEDs to provide the necessary light for scanning. However, in some applications, you need precise lighting to enhance the contrast of certain codes, such as DPM. In this case, we offer external lighting that ensures consistant and rapid decoding of the most challenging barcodes.
FOVEOS offers four different lens options:
Integrated lenses are less expensive and can be effective in many situations. However, they require that the items to be a certain distance from the scanner so it can focus on them.
Autofocus lenses give your barcode scanner a range of distances it can work at. When you place a code in front of the scanner, it can recognize the need to focus and adjust its lens so the barcode is decodable.
Zoom with autofocus lenses give you a wider range of distances in which the scanner can accurately focus on the code. This gives you even greater flexibility for working with codes at different distances or with differing sizes.
C-Mount lenses are external lenses that let you manually change them to alter the focus, zoom and aperture size. Ensure Depth Of Field(DOF) Field Of View(FOV) and image brightness with a C-Mount code reader and one of many C-Mount lenses FOVEOS has to offer.
Your new barcode scanner will need to integrate smoothly with your current hardware and software, so we offer numerous interface options for your fixed mount barcode scanner. You can integrate your barcode scanner using:
The USB interface is becoming the most popular option by far, simply because it’s become so universal. Our barcode scanners can use USB connections to attach to computers, POS terminals, .
You can also integrate your fixed mount barcode scanner into your LAN using several different protocols. Our barcode scanners can easily integrate into TCP/IP, FTP, and POE networks.
RS232 serial connectivity for legacy systems and PLCs is available, as an option, for all fixed mount scanners. For a connection with higher bandwidth, longer cable, and better noise reduction FOVEOS offers RS485 serial on many fixed mount barcode readers.
At FOVEOS, we understand that your business doesn’t rotate around your barcode scanners. You need barcode scanners that will fit your business and integrate with your current hardware without fiddly adapters. That’s why we developed our Advanced Systems Approach™.
With our Advanced Systems Approach™, we take the time to understand your company’s systems and processes, as well as how you want your barcode to maintain or improve your operations. Then we will help you understand the barcode scanner options that might work for you. If necessary, we are able to deploy our custom engineering capabilities to design the best barcode scanner for your needs, including custom modules manufactured by our global partners. Then we can help you understand how to integrate that barcode scanner into your operations, and even use the power of your new scanner to improve efficiency and profitability.
