Wavecreating provides 2D barcode scanner modules for OEM integration into kiosks, POS terminals, access control systems, vending machines, handheld devices and other self-service or intelligent equipment.
Our compact 2D scan modules support common 1D and 2D barcode symbologies including QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and Code 128. Different models are available with USB, UART and TTL serial communication options to simplify integration into new and existing hardware platforms.
Whether you are developing a compact handheld device or a fixed self-service terminal, Wavecreating can provide a suitable 2D barcode scanning module based on reading distance, module size, interface and barcode requirements.
A 2D barcode scanner module combines an image sensor, decoding processor, illumination system and communication interface in a compact component that can be integrated directly into another device.
Unlike a complete handheld or desktop scanner, a barcode scanning module is designed primarily for equipment manufacturers, system integrators and OEM projects.
Typical integration includes:
● Self-service kiosks
● POS terminals
● Vending machines
● Access control terminals
● Smart lockers
● Ticketing machines
● Handheld data terminals
● PDAs
● Ring scanners
● Industrial equipment
● Healthcare devices
Wavecreating 2D barcode scanner modules can support major barcode symbologies used in payment, identification, logistics and product tracking.
● QR Code
● Micro QR
● Data Matrix
● PDF417
● Micro PDF417
● Aztec
● Han Xin Code
● MaxiCode
● Code 128
● Code 39
● Code 93
● EAN-13
● EAN-8
● UPC-A
● UPC-E
● Codabar
● Interleaved 2 of 5
● GS1 DataBar
Supported symbologies vary by scanner model. Please confirm your required barcode type before selecting a module.
Modern self-service and payment applications increasingly require scanners to read both printed labels and digital barcodes displayed on smartphones.
Wavecreating 2D scanning modules are designed for applications including:
● Mobile payment QR codes
● Electronic tickets
● Digital membership codes
● Printed product labels
● Logistics labels
● Identification codes
● Electronic vouchers
● Access control QR codes
Selected modules use white LED illumination and dedicated decoding algorithms to improve recognition of both paper and screen-based barcodes.
The SE4231 is a compact scan module designed for integration into portable and embedded scanning products.
Key features include:
● 640 × 480 CMOS image sensor
● 1D and 2D barcode decoding
● QR Code reading
● Data Matrix and PDF417 support
● Fast barcode capture from screens
● Compact and lightweight design
It can be integrated into devices such as data collectors, PDAs, handheld scanners and ring scanners.
The SE4631 is designed for compact scanning equipment requiring both 1D and 2D barcode recognition.
It is suitable for integration into:
● Tablets
● Data collectors
● PDAs
● Ring scanners
● Handheld barcode scanners
● Counting and inventory devices
Its small form factor makes it suitable for devices with limited internal installation space.
The EM1730 is designed for fixed and embedded equipment.
Key specifications include:
● 640 × 480 CMOS sensor
● QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and other 2D code support
● USB VCP
● USB HID-KBW
● USB HID-POS
● TTL-232
● DC 3.3–5 V operating voltage
● Compact 53.5 × 36 × 16 mm dimensions
● Optional NFC function
Typical applications include payment terminals, smart lockers, self-service terminals and smart equipment.
2D scanner modules can be integrated into self-service kiosks for reading payment codes, membership codes, tickets and identification barcodes.
Compact modules are particularly suitable where internal installation space is limited.
For retail and payment devices, a 2D module can read QR payment codes directly from smartphone screens as well as conventional printed product barcodes.
A barcode scanner module can add QR payment, coupon, membership or product identification functions to vending machines.
2D scan modules can be used to read temporary visitor QR codes, employee credentials, electronic tickets and mobile access codes.
Parcel lockers and storage systems can integrate compact scan modules for pickup codes, delivery identification and account verification.
Miniature scanner modules can be built into handheld terminals, PDAs and ring scanners where small dimensions and low weight are important.
2D barcode modules can read electronic tickets, QR boarding codes and other digital credentials in ticketing machines and transportation terminals.
Selecting the right module should be based on the complete equipment design rather than barcode type alone.
Check the available internal installation space and required mounting position.
For handheld or wearable products, compact dimensions are especially important.
Confirm whether the device needs to read:
● QR Code
● Data Matrix
● PDF417
● 1D barcodes
● Mobile payment codes
● High-density barcodes
Different applications require different depth of field.
A scanner for a fixed payment window may require a different reading range from a handheld terminal.
Common communication interfaces include:
● USB HID-KBW
● USB HID-POS
● USB VCP
● TTL UART / TTL-232
● RS232
The interface should match your host board and software architecture.
Confirm whether the scanner will mainly read:
● Printed paper labels
● Smartphone screens
● Both paper and screen barcodes
This is particularly important for payment, access control and ticketing equipment.
Consider:
● Available space
● Ambient lighting
● Operating temperature
● Vibration
● Scanner window position
● Required reading angle
These factors can affect final scanning performance after the module is installed into the finished device.
