Barcode scanner and software

It this for inventory? Maybe something a programmable portable memory scanner is what you are looking for. For printing barcodes, maybe Label Software is what you are looking for.

We use bartender for printing labels and barcodes.

We want to put a quantity label (barcode and human readable) on our boxes that go on a pallet so we can scan each barcode and it counts the quantity and we get a total.

So it's pretty simple.

Maybe use a "smart" scanner with the software running on the scanner itself or use a wireless scanner with software sitting on a PC close by.

Thanks

Do you need 2D or 3D readings?

2d is all we need.

Then any wirelesses barcode scanner will do the job.
I forgot the brand name that we use in warehouse, but I remember DataLogic makes many.

Just search cordless. Can be Bluetooth or just RF, as 433MHz for example.

Here are some models working up to 25-30m:
