Description

Compact high-performance OEM scan engine

The MDI-12 is a compact OEM barcode scan engine designed for manufacturers and system integrators who require reliable barcode scanning performance in space-constrained devices. Combining an ultra-wide-angle optical system, integrated decoder, and high-speed CMOS imaging technology, the MDI-12 enables seamless integration into kiosks, payment terminals, point-of-sale equipment, medical devices, smart lockers, vending machines, and other embedded systems.

Engineered for both printed and on-screen barcode reading, the MDI-12 delivers fast and accurate decoding of 1D and 2D barcodes while maintaining exceptional performance in low-light and high-brightness environments. Its energy-efficient architecture and compact footprint make it an ideal scanning solution for modern OEM applications.

Key features

High-speed 1D & 2D barcode decoding

The MDI-12 features a high-performance 120 fps CMOS imager with fast global shutter technology and automatic exposure control, enabling rapid and accurate barcode capture in dynamic scanning environments.

Optimized for printed and mobile codes

The full-spectrum illuminated imaging system is designed to read both printed labels and barcodes displayed on mobile devices, making it ideal for applications involving digital tickets, mobile payments, loyalty programs, and electronic access credentials.

Ultra-wide-angle optics

Its ultra-wide-angle lens provides a large field of view, allowing barcodes to be captured from multiple positions and angles. The optical system reads standard QR codes at close range and wider barcodes or larger QR codes from distances up to 25 mm.

Exceptional low-light performance

The highly sensitive imaging sensor enables barcode reading even when very little ambient light is available. In many applications, the MDI-12 can successfully decode labels using only illumination from nearby displays, screens, or status indicators.

Reliable operation in bright environments

A dedicated sunlight-resistant optical filter and industrial-grade CMOS sensor control provide dependable barcode reading in lighting conditions up to 120,000 lux, ensuring stable performance in outdoor and high-brightness installations.

Energy-efficient processing

Powered by an advanced 800 MHz processor, the MDI-12 delivers fast decoding while minimizing power consumption during operation, standby, and startup. This makes it particularly suitable for battery-powered and wireless devices.

Flexible OEM integration

Designed specifically for embedded applications, the MDI-12 supports multiple integration configurations, enabling manufacturers to incorporate barcode scanning into a wide variety of products and custom hardware designs.

Industrial-grade reliability

The scan engine is built to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C, making it suitable for demanding commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications.

 

Why Choose the MDI-12?

The MDI-12 combines high-speed barcode decoding, ultra-wide-angle optics, excellent low-light sensitivity, and low power consumption in a compact OEM form factor. Designed specifically for embedded applications, it helps manufacturers create reliable, user-friendly products that require fast and accurate barcode scanning.

Looking for other integration options?

If the MDI-12 offers the scanning performance you need but your application requires a different form factor or integration approach. Opticon also offers the M-12 and M-12M. Together, these models provide a versatile family of fixed mount and OEM scanners designed to meet a wide variety of kiosk, payment, OEM, and embedded scanning requirements.
