Two dimensional bar codes have quietly revolutionised many production, tracking and maintenance processes. Now, 2D bar coding is undergoing a revolution, thanks to important scanning technology advances and growing use in multiple industries.
2D applications are being adopted at more than double the rate of traditional 1D bar code technology, according to market research firm Frost & Sullivan.
Adoption is growing because companies are taking a fresh look at how 2D bar codes can meet their information, identification and traceability needs. The fundamentals of 2D technology capabilities, limitations and compatibility with legacy bar code processes have changed – and have changed faster than perceptions about the technology.
This white paper identifies leading and emerging 2D bar code uses and benefits, explains why some commonly held perceptions about 2D scanning technology no longer apply, and shows how standards, regulatory requirements, business needs and technology advances are driving 2D adoption throughout the supply chain.

The new 8650 Bluetooth Ring Scanner is for use by mobile workers in a multitude of supply chain
The small, lightweight 8650 ring scanner rests on the finger, with the Bluetooth module worn comfortably on the back of the hand or the wrist. The Bluetooth module pairs with any Bluetooth enabled handheld, wearable, fixed station or vehicle mount computer and reliably transmits critical data from up to 30 feet away.
The 8650 weighs only 4.8 ounces - lighter than most cell phones. While being compact and lightweight, the 8650 Bluetooth Ring Scanner is “born rugged, not made rugged”™ with a tough magnesium housing and specialised electronics designed for use in harsh industrial environments.
The entire system is sealed to IP54 standards and can withstand multiple drops to concrete from up to 4 feet. It is available in two scanning options; standard laser and 1D/2D imager and has battery power to operate for up to 24 hours, delivering up to 17,000 scans on a single charge.
The 8650 joins LXE’s family of wearable and voice computing solutions, and can be used with the full range of LXE computers including the HX2 wearable computer.
With the addition of the Bluetooth Ring Scanner option, a new range of high-visibility keypads and a low-profile arm-mounting system, the HX2 wearable computer can be configured with a broad range of options tailored to the needs of individual operators.
The first handheld cordless scanner to incorporate Intermec near far area imaging, the rugged SR61ex delivers unparalleled productivity for warehouse data collection.
In addition, the SR61ex features a personal area network (PAN) radio based on Bluetooth® communication protocol, making scanning easier and safer with no costly cables to damage or become entangled. Users gain hassle free mobility up to 100 feet from the host.
The SR61ex includes Intermec’s EasySet™ software setup tool for easy configuration and personalisation to meet the specific needs of the user’s environment.
* Highly versatile scanning with integrated near far area imaging technology. * Image capture capability eliminates need for digital camera. * Omni directional scanning increases productivity. * Ready for the increased use of 2D and stacked symbologies. * Bluetooth® radio communication eliminates cables and facilitates complete mobility. * Interfaces with Intermec terminals and personal computers. * Easy configuration and personalisation. * Industrial durability stands up to harsh environments.
