Duo Near & Far by Newland

Introducing Newland's Duo Near & Far technology, a groundbreaking solution that combines two 2D scan engines in one device. This technology seamlessly decodes barcodes at both near and far distances, making it ideal for a wide range of industries, including retail, manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and supply chain.

Overcoming the Limits of Traditional Barcode Scanning

While barcode scanning technology has advanced significantly, standard distance barcode scanners still face limitations, particularly with scanning barcodes from afar. Despite most scanning requirements being at close range, there are many instances where distant barcode scanning is necessary.

With Duo Near & Far, companies can consolidate their scanning technology into a single device, achieving cost savings and increased efficiency. This innovation allows workers to switch effortlessly between near and far scanning tasks, eliminating the need for multiple devices or task delegation.

How Duo Technology Works

Newland's Duo technology uses a sensor to determine the appropriate distance, automatically selecting either the near-distance engine or the long-focus far-distance engine. Strong LED lights adapt to ensure barcode visibility, while a bright laser aimer helps users center the barcode in the optimal field of view, especially at longer distances.

The effectiveness of far-distance scanning depends on the barcode's size, measured in "mil" (1/1000th of an inch). For instance, a standard 100mil Code 128 barcode can be scanned from up to 9.8 meters away, commonly used in warehouse and logistics applications. Larger barcodes, such as those printed at 200mil, can be scanned from even greater distances.

Benefits of Duo Technology

Duo technology is beneficial across various industries, enhancing efficiency, saving time, and reducing costs. In retail, it simplifies shelf replenishment and order fulfillment by allowing staff to scan items in hard-to-reach places. In manufacturing, components can be scanned from a safe distance, avoiding close contact with machinery. In warehousing, products on high shelves or pallets can be scanned without the need to climb or leave a forklift.

By integrating two scan engines into one device, Duo technology eliminates the need for multiple tools, improving workflow, efficiency, and safety. This technology is a powerful investment for businesses aiming to optimize their barcode scanning processes.
