Whatever industry you are in, Triton has the right barcode scanning and imaging scanning technology for your organisation. We have a huge range of label scanners, from fixed to mobile scanners, rugged barcode scanners for harsh environments, and mobile terminals for mobile intelligence.
Within these categories are selections for 1D and 2D barcode scanners and for all different environments to best suit your needs. Complementing this range are additional products for fixed imaging and sensors to cater for manufacturing traceability and validation.
Barcode scanners are devices that can read and decode the data stored in a barcode. These innovative electronic devices simplify the process of data capturing and identification, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently.
Barcode scanners have a wide range of applications, such as.
Barcode scanners work on the basic principles of light reflection and absorption.
A barcode scanner has a built-in light source, typically a laser, which is shone on the barcode. The barcode absorbs some light and reflects the rest back to the scanner. This reflected light is then picked up by a photoelectric sensor, which detects the different patterns of light and dark bars in the barcode.
Once the reflected light is captured, it is sent to a decoder that reads the data encoded in the barcode and converts it into a readable format. The decoder then sends this information to the computer or other device connected to the scanner for further processing.
Refer to our guide on how barcode scanner work to get a better understanding of the working of barcode scanners.
There are several types of barcode scanners, each suited to different applications and environments. Here are the types of barcode scanners you can find at the Triton Store.
Mobile Terminals, also called Mobile Computers barcode scanners, are handheld devices that combine barcode scanning with the features of a mobile computer. These devices are lightweight and ergonomic, making them easier to carry and handle.
Mobile Terminals run on either Windows or Android operating systems. They have built-in large memory capacity (RAM and flash memory), powerful processors, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology, and advanced barcode reading capabilities. Mobile Terminals also feature a touchscreen display and an integrated keyboard to facilitate data entry and documentation.
Mobile Terminals are designed with a focus on toughness. They have robust bodies made of reinforced plastic or metal with sturdy housing and rubber grips and bumpers for added durability. These devices come with Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, tumble ratings and certified drop tests, which make them ideal for tough working environments and outdoor applications.
Utilising a Mobile Barcode Scanning Terminal either in hand or attached to a forklift or other vehicle, employees can access a vast range of pertinent information, applications and services while on the move. The outcome? Enhanced effectiveness through mobility, getting the job done more effectively in less time.

Application Examples
General barcode scanners are devices that quickly and accurately scan barcodes. They come with features like fast scan speed, ergonomic design, and long-range scanning, making them reliable for various purposes.
General-purpose barcode scanners help employees streamline reading multiple barcodes at once, enabling them to work faster and far more efficiently. Any task from retail point of sale systems to backroom inventory is greatly enhanced by utilising this category of barcode scanners.
General scanners are not built to endure rough handling beyond minor events like accidental drops, limiting their ability to function in high-intensity environments. However, these devices are still appropriate for low-intensity environments, such as convenience stores, hardware shops, bottle shops, and general stores.
Check out Triton’s general barcode scanner homepage for our full range of general-purpose barcode scanners.
Application Examples
Rugged barcode scanners are scanners that have the same features as general barcode scanners but with added design characteristics of resilience and toughness. They are built using high-grade materials like reinforced plastics and metal.
Rugged barcode scanners have protective bumpers, rubber frames, and resistant casings or coatings for extra protection. They come with IP ratings, tumble test certification, drop-impact tests and other certifications that enhance their durability. With such features, rugged scanners are suitable for tough working environments like warehouses, factories and freight transport.

Application Examples
2D barcode scanners are devices that are designed to scan both two-dimensional barcodes and traditional 1D barcodes. These scanners come with the same features as general barcode scanners but with added functionality to read 2D barcodes. 2D barcode scanners are also available in rugged models.
2D barcode scanners are suitable for almost any industry, as they can process a variety of high-density codes like QR codes, Aztec codes, Maxicode, Data Matrix codes and PDF417. These scanners are best suited for the healthcare, logistics, and travel industries.

Application Examples
Universal Serial Bus (USB) barcode scanners are a type of wired barcode scanners that connect to a host device (like a computer) via a USB port. These scanner devices rely on USB connections for power supply and transferring barcoded information.
USB barcode scanners do not have an onboard processor or memory and, therefore, always require a host device to perform their scanning and decoding functions. These devices are designed for a simple plug-and-play experience and require minimal setup efforts.
USB scanners are a cost-effective option that delivers the same top-notch performance as wireless scanners. They are ideal for retail and warehouse settings and used for inventory tracking and management, point-of-sale applications, order entry and tracking, and other such tasks.
Triton’s USB barcode scanner homepage showcases a range of powerful and reliable USB barcode scanners at competitive prices.
Application Examples
Wireless barcode scanners are a type of barcode scanner that uses radio frequency like WiFi or Bluetooth to wirelessly send barcode information from the scanner device to the host device. These scanners have built-in rechargeable batteries that power the device and send the decoded data from one point to another.
A wireless barcode scanner can communicate with its host device in two ways.
Wireless scanners are best suited for applications where mobility is required, such as in warehouses, medical facilities, libraries, and retail stores.
Visit Triton’s wireless barcode scanners homepage to check out a collection of reliable and efficient wireless scanners.
Application Examples
Bluetooth barcode scanners are a type of wireless barcode scanners that use Bluetooth technology to send barcoded information from the scanner device to a host device. These scanners offer the same features as traditional barcode scanners but use Bluetooth to connect with other devices.
Check out Triton’s Bluetooth barcode scanner homepage to explore a range of high-performance, easy-to-use Bluetooth scanners.
Application Examples
Fixed scanners and sensors are scanning equipment that is designed to be permanently positioned in one location and offer fast, accurate and reliable scanning of barcodes of products that pass by. These devices are primarily used in warehouses, distribution centres, factories, and manufacturing plants where products move on conveyors or assembly lines.
At Triton, we provide image-based 1D as well as 2D code scanners. Visit Triton’s fixed scanner and sensor homepage to shop for the perfect scanning device for your needs.
