PDTECH Industrial Scanner: Revolutionizing Industrial Data Capture & Integration
Next-generation data capture meets industrial automation. Seamlessly integrate barcode scanning with PLC networks, validate processes with intelligent OCR, and broadcast to multiple targets—all through a single, ruggedized platform.
High-Speed Data Transmission for Seamless Industrial Integration
Real-Time Modbus TCP
Proactively transmit scanned data directly to PLCs and HMIs with millisecond-level latency.
Accelerated Workflows
Rapid, reliable communication minimizes downtime and maximizes throughput in high-volume production.
Complex Automation Support
Synchronized data exchange handles demanding multi-controller environments with precision.
Integrated decoding for both 1D and 2D barcodes, from standard UPC and Code 128 to QR codes and Data Matrix symbols. Read virtually any label format encountered in manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing operations.
Intelligent OCR Engine
High-accuracy optical character recognition validates printed text alongside barcodes. Perfect for verifying lot codes, serial numbers, and human-readable data where dual verification ensures quality compliance.
Peer-to-Peer Flexibility: Dual-Role Operation for Maximum Efficiency
Data Client Mode
Actively push scanned results to remote PLCs and HMIs as a master node.
Data Server Mode
Host a local Modbus TCP server for oversight systems to query results on-demand.
Bidirectional Gateway
Combine both roles simultaneously for flexible, redundant data flow.
Simultaneous client and server operation eliminates the need for intermediate gateways. Production controllers receive real-time data streams while supervisory systems maintain query access for audit trails and reporting.
Error-Proofing with Poka-Yoke: Ensuring Process Integrity
01
Sequential Validation
Each scan step must match predefined criteria before proceeding to the next operation.
02
Automatic Verification
System automatically compares scanned values against expected results in real-time.
03
Process Lockout
Prevents advancement if data mismatch occurs, ensuring compliance with quality standards.
Critical for safety-critical and compliance-driven manufacturing environments where process adherence is mandatory.
Enterprise Scalability with Multi-Target Broadcast
Define Target Groups
Create named destination sets like 'Packaging Line A' or 'Quality Station 3' for organized routing.
QR-Coded Selection
Scan unique QR tags to instantly re-route output to entire IP groups without menu navigation.
Simultaneous Distribution
Every successful scan broadcasts to all IPs in the selected group in parallel.
Synchronized Nodes
Coordinate data flow across multiple PLCs, HMIs, and oversight systems simultaneously.
Active master that pushes scanned data strings to remote PLCs or HMIs for immediate processing.
Server Node (Pull)
Hosts local Modbus TCP server (Slave). External master controllers connect to pull scan results when needed.
Dual-Stack Node (Bidirectional)
Enables both roles simultaneously, creating a flexible data gateway between production and oversight systems.
Port 1502 recommended for Android environments. Station ID must match PLC communication driver settings for seamless integration.
Configurable Network & Data Settings for Compatibility
1
Network Configuration
Set unique local IP address for factory network identity. Configure port assignments and Station ID (Unit ID) to match existing PLC addressing schemes.
2
Push/Listen Modes
Enable Client mode to push results to remote PLC IP. Enable Server mode to start Modbus TCP listener for external queries.
3
Data Format Selection
Choose ASCII for human-readable characters or HEX for raw byte streams. Select UTF-8, UTF-16, or US-ASCII encoding based on controller requirements.
QR Code Utility & Recipe Management for Operational Efficiency
Industrial QR Generator
Create standardized physical labels with alphanumeric strings like 'LINE_1_SELECT'. Export high-resolution codes for industrial label printers or archival distribution.
Sequential Recipes
Define production workflows with '+' button. Combine QR steps for barcode targets with OCR steps for printed text validation. Set verify toggles for exact match requirements.
Security Protections
Restrict settings access with password protection. Enforce credentials for recipe modification and data log access. Configure 4-digit admin password (default: 1234).
