Zebra vs Datalogic — Which Is Right for You?
Both brands are used across the UAE and wider Middle East. The choice usually comes down to your industry, existing IT ecosystem, and total cost of ownership.
What is the difference between a 1D and 2D barcode scanner?
1D Scanners read linear (traditional) barcodes such as EAN-13, Code 128, Code 39, ITF-14 and more. 2D Scanners read 1D codes as well as 2D codes such as QR Codes found on products, invoices, applications on your mobile phone etc. Also DataMatrix codes found on pharmaceuticals and health care products. For most applications 2D Scanners are now the standard as they are cost effective and offer more versatility.
What is the difference between a laser barcode scanner and an imager?
A laser scanner uses a moving laser beam to read 1D barcodes only, and excels at long-range scanning — up to 10m in some models. An imager (CCD or CMOS) takes a picture of the barcode and decodes it digitally, which means it can read both 1D and 2D codes, handle damaged or poorly printed labels, and scan codes on mobile phone screens. Imagers also have no moving parts, making them more durable over time. For most new deployments, a 2D imager is the recommended choice.
Is Zebra or Datalogic better for warehouse use?
Both Zebra and Datalogic present excellent solutions to warehouse environments and we recommend Zebra for large and management through a deep integration with a WMS (Warehouse Management System) and a large service network, whilst the Datalogic PowerScan series provides a cost effective solution for medium size operations based in the
Do I need a wired or wireless barcode scanner?
The most cost-effective types of barcode scanners are wired USB barcode scanners. They are always connected to the computer they are used on and therefore do not have the possibility of running out of battery at the most critical time. The vast majority of wired USB barcode scanners are designed for use in fixed workstations and are used in a wide variety of environments such as retail stores, warehouses, factories and healthcare. Most wired USB barcode scanners are used at reception desks, cash desks and checkout counters.
Can barcode scanners read QR codes on a mobile phone screen?
Modern scanners from both Zebra and Datalogic have area imagers which are capable of reading 2D QR codes from the screen of a mobile phone. Such scanners can also read one-dimensional (1D) barcodes as well. These scanners are widely used in retail in order to read barcodes such as those found on loyalty apps, digital boarding passes, and also from e-wallets. Therefore the use of such scanners
What is Datalogic's "Green Spot" technology?
Datalogic also comes with a great feature called the “Green Spot” which is displayed on the screen great feature in noisy warehouse environments and factory floors as it is easier to see the “Green Spot” than hear the scanner beep. The Green Spot is one of the Datalogic features that are greatly appreciated by its users. This is also one of the reasons why Datalogic barcode scanners are preferred over other competitors.
