Professional Scanning Specification. Without the Professional Price.
Most affordable barcode scanners read clean retail barcodes but struggle with damaged labels, low-contrast printing, and modern 2D codes. The Astrum Industrial 2D Barcode Scanner is built for demanding business environments, decoding damaged labels, reading advanced 2D symbologies, and surviving repeated 3-metre drops onto concrete.
Reads What Basic Scanners Miss
The industrial-grade imaging engine accurately reads scratched and torn labels, faded thermal prints, low-contrast barcodes, curved surfaces, and codes displayed on smartphone or computer screens. Every barcode that scans successfully is one less manual entry, helping reduce errors and improve productivity.
Reads 1D, 2D, QR, Micro QR, Data Matrix and PDF417
Supports all major retail and logistics barcode formats together with the advanced 2D symbologies used throughout manufacturing, healthcare, laboratories, and industrial environments. Micro QR support makes it suitable for scanning compact labels found on electronic components, PCBs, laboratory samples, and medical vials.
3-Metre Drop Rating
Engineered to withstand repeated drops from heights of up to 3 metres onto hard surfaces. Whether it falls from a checkout counter, packing station, or forklift, the scanner is built to handle the realities of busy working environments.
Auto-Scan Stand Included
Place the scanner into the included stand and it automatically switches into hands-free presentation mode. Simply present a barcode to the scanner for automatic reading without pressing the trigger. Remove it from the stand and it instantly returns to handheld trigger scanning.
Plug In and Go
Connect via USB and the scanner registers as a standard keyboard device, allowing scanned data to appear directly wherever the cursor is positioned. No drivers, middleware, software licences, or complicated integration are required. Compatible with POS systems, ERP software, warehouse management systems, and spreadsheets.
Ideal Applications
Suitable for retail and hospitality point-of-sale, warehousing, receiving and dispatch, stock takes, cycle counting, manufacturing, work-in-progress tracking, laboratories, healthcare, IT asset management, courier operations, and last-mile delivery.
