Datalogic CODiScan Bluetooth Wearable Scanner

Brand - Datalogic

The Datalogic CODiScan is a compact Bluetooth wearable scanner designed for hands-free barcode scanning in warehouse, retail, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and healthcare environments. It is built for workers who need to scan frequently while keeping both hands free for picking, packing, sorting, put-away, assembly, verification or handling goods. Unlike a traditional handheld scanner, the CODiScan is worn or carried close to the operator and triggered through dedicated wearable or portable configurations. This reduces the need to repeatedly pick up and put down a scanner, helping remove non-value-added movements from scan-intensive workflows. The device is extremely compact and lightweight. It measures 53 x 44 x 19 mm and weighs only 44 g. This minimal footprint makes it comfortable for all-day use and less intrusive than many conventional handheld barcode readers. The CODiScan can be used in multiple mounting options, including hand, neck, belt or pocket configurations. The hand trigger is adjustable as a one-size-fits-all solution and is available for right- or left-hand use. Its modular construction allows the electronic part to be separated from the fabric part, so the fabric can be washed or replaced while reusing the trigger system. The scanner is designed to improve productivity and ergonomics. The source highlights that, compared with traditional handheld readers, CODiScan can reduce weight handled per shift by up to 1.5 tons, save up to 4 seconds per scan and reduce errors by up to 33%, depending on the workflow and implementation. Scanning performance is based on a 1280 x 960 pixel optical resolution and 1D / 2D decoding capability. The CODiScan supports standard 1D linear codes, including GS1 DataBar linear codes, and 2D codes including PDF417, MicroPDF417, Data Matrix, QR Code, Micro QR Code, Aztec and MaxiCode. Postal code support includes US PostNet, US Planet, UK Postal, Australia Postal, Japan Postal and Dutch Postal / KIX. Three reading configurations are listed: Standard Range, Mid Range and High Density Short Range. This allows the device to be matched to different workflows, from close-range high-density codes to standard item scanning and selected longer-distance reading. The Standard Range configuration provides a broad general-purpose scanning profile. Example ranges include EAN / UPC 13 mil from 4.5 to 74 cm, QR Code 15 mil from 4 to 37 cm and Code 39 20 mil from 40 to 110 cm. This makes it suitable for common picking, packing, retail and warehouse tasks. The Mid Range configuration extends reading capability for selected larger codes. Example ranges include UPCA 13 mil from 8 to 100 cm, Code 39 20 mil up to 160 cm and Code 39 100 mil up to 500 cm. This should be positioned carefully as code-size-dependent longer-range reading, not as universal long-range performance for every barcode. The High Density Short Range configuration is designed for smaller, denser codes at close range. Example ranges include Code 39 3 mil from 6.5 to 20 cm, Code 39 5 mil from 3.5 to 29 cm and Data Matrix 10 mil from 7.5 to 26 cm. This version is useful where compact or high-density labels are part of the workflow. The scanner includes a smart aiming system that helps the worker identify the framed barcode before scanning. This is important in environments where several barcodes are close together and the operator must avoid reading the wrong code. Feedback is one of the strongest parts of the CODiScan concept. Datalogic Green Spot projects good-read confirmation directly onto the scanned code. In addition, the device includes three high-visibility LEDs: two lateral blades and a rear LED spot, with separate on / off control. These LEDs can indicate good read, battery status and Bluetooth pairing. The feedback system also includes adjustable audio up to 85 dBA and optional vibration feedback. This gives users visual, acoustic and haptic confirmation, allowing the scanner to be used in noisy warehouses, quiet healthcare or laboratory environments, and fast-paced picking operations. Wireless communication is based on Bluetooth 5.2 with BLE and Classic Bluetooth support. The device supports Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2. Transmission range is listed as up to 100 m / 328 ft to host, depending on host and gateway connection. The CODiScan can also be integrated through a Datalogic Gateway. The gateway enables the scanner’s full capabilities through a USB interface and can manage connectivity for up to seven CODiScan devices. Via gateway, Wi-Fi connectivity is available using IEEE 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz, with WPA2 / WPA3 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise PEAP, TLS and TTLS security support, plus MQTT and WebSocket client support. Battery performance supports full-shift workflows. The scanner uses a 640 mAh rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Charging time is approximately 2.15 hours with a Datalogic charging station. Operating time is listed as up to 16 hours or 12,000 scans, depending on settings and environmental conditions. Charging options include 1-slot, 2-slot modular configurations expandable up to 6 slots, and 12-slot charging solutions. This allows the device to fit small teams, larger warehouse fleets and multi-shift operations. The device includes a multifunctional key that can support different mounting options and can be used to check battery status, connectivity and other custom functions. The scanner can be triggered through the device multifunctional key in portable configurations or through the Datalogic hand trigger, which is sold separately and rated for 5 million trigger hits. The CODiScan is designed for demanding daily use. It resists multiple drops from 1.8 m onto concrete according to IEC 60068-2-31, withstands 2,000 tumbles from 0.5 m, has impact resistance above IK06 / 1 J and offers IP54 sealing. Operating temperature is -20°C to 50°C, charging temperature is 0°C to 40°C and storage temperature is -20°C to 60°C. Configuration and device management are supported through Datalogic Aladdin tools. The Aladdin web page and stand-alone software can be used for barcode, interface, device and profile configuration, device management and barcode generation or file transfer-based setup. Android integration is supported through the Mobile Aladdin app and SDK. Pairing to Android mobile computers can be handled through the Aladdin app, with firmware updates, main parameters and symbology settings. The app is pre-installed on Datalogic Memor family devices, according to the source. Recommended paired devices include Datalogic Memor PDA models such as Memor 11, Memor 12, Memor 30 and Memor 35. This makes the CODiScan a natural companion for Android mobile computer-based workflows where the wearable scanner handles scanning and the mobile computer manages the application. Typical transportation and logistics applications include warehouse picking, packing, sorting, put-away, shipping and receiving. In retail, it fits click and collect, order fulfilment, receiving and back-of-store warehouse management. In manufacturing, it supports parts and assembly traceability, finished-goods verification and inventory management. In healthcare, it can be used in pharmacies, laboratories, hospital logistics and pharmaceutical logistics. Overall, the Datalogic CODiScan is a lightweight wearable scanner for organizations that want to improve hands-free productivity, ergonomics and scan accuracy. Its strongest value lies in the 44 g design, hand / neck / belt / pocket mounting options, 1D / 2D scanning, Standard Range / Mid Range / High Density Short Range configurations, smart aiming, Green Spot feedback, high-visibility LEDs, audio and vibration feedback, Bluetooth 5.2, up to 16-hour operation, 12,000-scan battery life, gateway integration, Android integration and Datalogic Aladdin configuration tools.
