All major brands
1D + 2D + imaging
Pre-configured for your environment
Fleet repair programs included
Conti Systems supports the entire barcode ecosystem including barcode scanners, mobile computers, barcode printers, labels, RFID solutions, repair services, and software integration. Customers can work with a single partner rather than managing multiple vendors.
Scanner choice depends on what you’re scanning, where you’re scanning it, and how often. A pharmacy counting pill bottles ten times an hour needs a different tool than a 3PL warehouse running 2,000 picks a shift. A receiving operation that scans long-range pallet labels from a forklift cab needs a different scanner than a fixed-station shipping desk. The wrong scanner doesn’t fail loudly — it just slows the operation down a fraction of a second per scan, every shift, forever.
Conti Systems has been deploying barcode scanners since 1993 — handheld, wireless, fixed-mount, and wearable, across every major brand. We pre-configure scanners for your environment before they ship: scan modes, host connection, suffix/prefix programming, beep and vibrate settings. We match scanners to your existing fleet so triggers and configuration stay consistent. And we repair what we sell, with fleet repair programs for warehouses running 25 or more units. See our Mobile Computers lineup of products.

Types of Barcode Scanners
TECHNOLOGY
1D vs. 2D vs. Imaging
Which Type Do You Need? One of the most common scanner-choice mistakes is over-buying or under-buying on read technology. Quick framework:
Read traditional linear barcodes (UPC, Code 128). Lowest cost. Limitation: doesn’t read 2D codes or damaged barcodes well.
Read both 1D and 2D codes (QR, Data Matrix). Slightly higher cost. Reads damaged barcodes and codes on screens. The default choice for most warehouse applications today.
Read at extended distances (15–50+ ft). Required for forklift scanning of overhead aisle signs and long-distance rack labels. Higher cost.
When in doubt: 2D area imager. It reads everything 1D scanners read, plus future-proofs for QR codes, marketplace labels, and any 2D application that lands on your dock next year.

THE CONTI DIFFERENCE
What’s Included When You Buy From Conti
VERSATILITY
Industries We Serve
Conti supplies barcode scanners to 3PL and logistics operations, manufacturing plants, e-commerce fulfillment centers, cold storage warehouses, and distribution centers. Each industry stresses scanners differently — 3PL runs continuous-duty triggers, cold storage murders batteries, manufacturing exposes triggers to chemicals — and we spec accordingly.
