In the modern healthcare industry, the widespread application of barcode technology has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of medical services. Especially in areas like drug management, patient identification, and asset tracking, the role of barcode scanners is indispensable. With the continuous advancement of technology, embedded barcode scanners have gradually become important tools in the healthcare sector due to their small size, high integration, and fast decoding speed. However, choosing which one is suitable for close-range decoding in the healthcare industry remains a topic worth discussing.
In fact, choosing the right embedded barcode scanner for close-range decoding in the healthcare industry requires comprehensive consideration of decoding performance, size integration, durability, interface compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. Only by connecting through various interface options provided by the barcode scanner manufacturer, such as USB, RS232, TTL232, and easily integrating into existing equipment after proper setup can the embedded scanner achieve the ability to quickly and accurately read barcodes and QR codes. Considering the usage needs in various complex healthcare environments, the scanner should also possess waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant capabilities to cope with frequent use and various environmental challenges. So, which embedded one-dimensional and two-dimensional scanner offers better cost-effectiveness?
Shenzhen Rakin Technology Co., Ltd. suggests that users might consider using the Newland FM510 one-dimensional linear scanner and the Rakin LV3396 embedded two-dimensional barcode scanning module.
The FM510 series is a dedicated one-dimensional linear scanner for the medical testing field, primarily integrated into in vitro diagnostic instruments in laboratories, hospitals, and assembly lines for the fast and reliable reading of one-dimensional paper barcodes on test tubes or reagent bottles at close range. The Newland FM510 series has two versions, FM510-V and FM510-H, with the main difference being the light emission direction; FM510-V emits light from the side, while FM510-H emits light straight.
The Rakin LV3396 embedded two-dimensional barcode scanning module is a compact barcode scanner head featuring TTL-232 and USB interfaces, with a scanning speed of 300 scans per second. This scanning module is suitable for medical device management; by embedding it into medical equipment (such as diagnostic and analytical devices), it can quickly and accurately record the usage and inventory of medical supplies, improving management efficiency. Its small size and light weight (5g) make it very suitable for use in space-constrained environments.
Both of these scanners meet the needs of the healthcare industry, especially for applications requiring close-range decoding, as they can provide efficient and accurate barcode scanning services while considering the special requirements of healthcare environments, such as patient comfort and equipment space limitations.
