What is the maximum transmission distance of a Bluetooth barcode scanner?

2025-05-28

Wireless barcode scanners can move freely during use, and are not bound by the cables of wired barcode scanners, allowing operators to move freely to scan items within a certain range such as between shelves and warehouses. Our common wireless barcode scanners are generally connected through Bluetooth, WIFI, 2.4G, etc., with wide applicability, and are used in scenarios such as mobile cashiering, inventory counting, and logistics sorting.

When we use a Bluetooth barcode scanner, what is the farthest transmission distance? The farthest theoretical distance of a Bluetooth barcode scanner mainly depends on the Bluetooth version and RF power level of the barcode scanner used, and the actual effective distance is affected by the use environment. Common Bluetooth barcode scanners have a theoretical distance of 100 meters and a theoretical distance of 200-400 meters within 10 meters. The theoretical distance of our commonly used Bluetooth barcode scanners is 10-30 meters.

When we use a Bluetooth barcode scanner, the effective distance is usually 3-15 meters, because most of the scenes we use will be interfered by physical factors such as walls, metal shelves, and human body occlusion, and the signal will be greatly weakened. Sometimes electromagnetic signals such as WIFI routers and microwave ovens will also interfere with the signal of the wireless barcode scanner.

When we buy a barcode scanner, we should first inform the customer service staff of the scene we use and choose the appropriate version of the wireless barcode scanner. At the same time, we should test the farthest recognition distance of the barcode scanner in the actual working environment, rather than relying on theoretical values. Most of us are in an environment where we can use a Bluetooth wireless barcode scanner with a transmission distance of 5-10 meters. However, in some complex environments, such as warehouses, outdoors, etc., we can choose an industrial-grade wireless Bluetooth barcode scanner.

The wireless barcode scanner is one of the core tools for modern mobile data collection. It frees the operator's hands and range of activities through wireless connection. When choosing a Bluetooth barcode scanner, we need to consider scanning requirements, usage environment, connection equipment and budget.

The wireless barcode scanner needs to manage battery life and charging equipment, and needs to replace batteries or receivers.

When we choose a barcode scanner, we need to choose a barcode scanner with different performance according to different usage scenarios. NUTEM is a factory specializing in barcode scanners with 15 years of experience and can OEM/ODM.
