Datalogic Matrix 930 High-Performance Industrial 2D Reader

Brand - Datalogic

The Datalogic Matrix 930 is a high-performance industrial 2D image-based reader designed for the most demanding transportation, logistics, distribution and retail automation applications. It is built for high-throughput conveyor systems, automated sorting, dimension-weigh-scan systems, carton and tote traceability, parcel analytics, OCR-related workflows and extended image saving. The Matrix 930 is not a handheld scanner and not a mobile computer. It is a fixed industrial image-based code reader for automated data capture stations, logistics conveyors, distribution centers, non-conveyable auto-dimension systems and high-speed sorting applications. The Matrix 930 is positioned above the Matrix 830 when the application requires even higher image resolution, wider transport coverage, stronger support for high-density barcodes or higher-DPI images, and more advanced image-based logistics features. A key strength of the Matrix 930 is its 28 megapixel CMOS image sensor. The reader can capture up to 30 frames per second at full resolution. This gives it very high image detail for 1D and 2D barcode reading, as well as image-based functions beyond traditional barcode decoding. The sensor is 8000 pixels wide. According to the source, a single Matrix 930 can cover transports up to 1200 mm wide. This makes it especially valuable in logistics and distribution environments where wide belts, large parcels or variable label positions would otherwise require more complex multi-reader or optical configurations. The Matrix 930 is designed for high-speed transportation systems with conveyor speeds up to 3.2 m/s. This makes it suitable for fast parcel sorting, baggage handling, distribution center workflows and other high-throughput applications where reliable reading must happen within a short time window. The reader supports three focusing approaches: dynamic focus, sequential focus and software-adjustable focus. An optional integrated range sensor can support dynamic focus. This can eliminate the need for an external dimensioning device to provide focus input, depending on the selected configuration. Dynamic and sequential focusing help the Matrix 930 maintain in-focus images across variable object heights and reading distances. This is especially important in parcel and distribution environments where packages may vary significantly in size and position. The Matrix 930 supports 16 mm, 25 mm and 35 mm C-Mount lens options according to the technical data. The model list specifically includes 25 mm and 35 mm versions, with standard and Premium configurations, and selected 25 mm models with integrated range sensor. The correct lens and range-sensor configuration should be selected based on conveyor width, object height, label position, code size and required image detail. Illumination is integrated white light. The illumination is continuous and non-flashing, with a rectangular shape optimized for reading on wide belts. This supports stable image capture and helps avoid the limitations of flashing illumination in logistics environments. Region of Interest windowing allows higher frame rates when only selected parts of the image need to be processed. This can improve performance when the application has predictable code zones or when only a portion of the full image is relevant. The Matrix 930 uses next-generation decoding algorithms for 1D, 2D, stacked and postal symbologies. This makes it suitable for parcel labels, shipping labels, cartons, totes and logistics documents that may contain different code types. Supported 1D and stacked codes include Code 128 / GS1-128, Code 39, Code 32, MSI, Standard 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar, Code 93, Pharmacode, EAN-8 / EAN-13, UPC-A / UPC-E, GS1 DataBar family and PDF417 / Micro PDF417. Supported 2D codes include Data Matrix ECC 200, including standard, GS1 and direct marking versions, QR Code, including standard and direct marking versions, Micro QR Code and MaxiCode. Postal code support includes Aztec Code Postal, Australia Post, Royal Mail 4 State Customer, Kix Code, Japan Post, PLANET, POSTNET, POSTNET with BB, Intelligent Mail and Swedish Post. PackTrack capability is a key logistics function. It allows the Matrix 930 to minimize the gap between objects and increase system productivity by supporting object tracking and code assignment in conveyor-based reading applications. The Matrix 930 is also relevant for image-based features beyond barcode reading. The source lists OCR, Hazmat, package analytics, cross-belt cell inspection, label blurring and extended image saving. These should be positioned as system-level logistics capabilities depending on the software workflow and complete installation. Multiple-format image saving is supported, from full-definition images to highly compressed JPEG files. Captured images can be stored on-board and optionally transferred to external systems through the integrated Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This is useful for diagnostics, traceability, dispute resolution, analytics and performance review.FPGA hardware acceleration supports real-time image processing. This helps the reader process high-resolution 28 MP images efficiently in demanding logistics applications. Connectivity is designed for high-speed industrial data capture. The Matrix 930 provides three 1 GB Ethernet TCP/IP interfaces and two serial communication interfaces. Gigabit Ethernet supports high-speed communication and image transfer. SyncNet4 technology simplifies networking multiple devices in one solution through a single interface. A dedicated high-speed image-saving port for all devices in a solution further improves integration in larger automated data capture systems. Connectivity modes include Primary / Secondary and Ethernet Point-to-Point. This allows the Matrix 930 to be used in both single-reader and multi-reader system architectures. Configuration and diagnostics are handled through e-GENIUS, a multi-language browser-based on-board HTML web server interface. Because it is browser-based, the system can be accessed from different operating systems and hardware platforms, including PCs and tablets, without requiring dedicated configuration software. Installation is supported by the X-PRESS setup interface and integrated dual laser aiming. These tools help simplify alignment, positioning and commissioning in conveyor and logistics environments. The Matrix 930 is compatible with WebSentinel Plus for real-time performance monitoring. This allows operators and integrators to supervise reading performance, diagnostics and operational status across logistics and distribution systems. The reader includes Datalogic’s 360-degree RGB LED bezel feedback technology. Programmable color feedback provides visible status indication from multiple angles, making it easier for operators to understand system and read status in large industrial installations. The system runs on Linux. Real-time clock functionality supports time and date stamping under software control or through battery-backed RTC, with optional NTP synchronization. This is useful for traceability, image records and system diagnostics. The Matrix 930 is built for harsh industrial environments. It uses a die-cast aluminum chassis and has IP65 protection. Operating temperature is 0°C to 50°C, with storage and transport temperature from -20°C to 70°C. Humidity tolerance is 95% non-condensing. The device is specified for vibration and shock resistance. Vibration resistance is listed according to EN60068-2-6, and shock resistance according to EN60068-2-27. This supports deployment in logistics and industrial environments where mechanical stress is part of normal operation. The physical size is 31.7 x 41.9 x 15.9 cm, and the weight is 9.7 kg. This makes the Matrix 930 a large, station-level industrial reader rather than a compact OEM or machine-embedded imager. It should be positioned for conveyor, portal and data-capture station integration. Power supply is 24 VDC ±20%. Power consumption is listed as 5.5 A, with 8 A maximum. The Matrix 930 includes a 2-year factory warranty. Typical transportation and logistics applications include automated sorting, dimension-weigh-scan systems, non-conveyable auto-dimension systems, carton and tote traceability, OCR, Hazmat, package analytics, cross-belt cell inspection, label blurring and extended image saving. In distribution and retail environments, the Matrix 930 supports order fulfilment and verification, multimedia sorting and reverse logistics processes. These applications benefit from high-resolution image capture, high-speed decoding and image records that can support process control and traceability. Overall, the Datalogic Matrix 930 is a top-tier high-throughput industrial 2D reader for logistics and distribution systems that need very high image resolution, wide transport coverage and advanced image-based data capture. Its strongest value lies in the 28 MP sensor, up to 30 fps full-resolution capture, 8000-pixel-wide imaging, coverage of transports up to 1200 mm, dynamic / sequential / software-adjustable focus, optional integrated range sensor, continuous white illumination, PackTrack capability, FPGA hardware acceleration, multiple-format image saving, Gigabit Ethernet, SyncNet4, e-GENIUS browser configuration, WebSentinel Plus compatibility, 360-degree RGB bezel feedback and rugged IP65 die-cast aluminum construction.
