DATAMAN 8050 SERIES BARCODE READERS
High speed 1D/2D handheld barcode reader
DataMan® 8050 barcode readers bring Cognex’s patented algorithms to a
new, lightweight industrial handheld platform. DataMan 8050 reads 1D and
2D barcodes with incredible speed every time even if damaged, smudged,
scuffed or poorly marked.
Modular design easily adapts to meet your needs
Field interchangeable communication modules allow one reader to be
configured to meet specific communication needs to support RS-232,
USB, and Ethernet options.
Rugged industrial design
The DataMan 8050 barcode reader is constructed to handle the harshest
environments. Other industrial features include: lanyard hook for easy
retractor mounting, bright centralized aimer for clear targeting, loud beeper,
and indicator lights.
Proven performance
The DataMan 8050 readers are ideal for applications
in any manufacturing environment that require robust
barcode technology and reliable reading performance:
▪ Automotive body and ▪ Electronics
assembly manufacturing
▪ Incoming inspection ▪ Aerospace
▪ Shipping ▪ Packaging
▪ Automotive kitting ▪ Receiving
High speed 1D/2D reading performance
▪ Cognex’s patented algorithms, 1DMax® with Hotbars,®
enable the DataMan 8050 barcode reader to decode the
most challenging 1D barcodes quickly and easily,
at more angles and in any orientation.

even when damaged, obstructed or with perspective
distortion. Supported 2D symbologies include: Data
Matrix, QR, PDF417, MaxiCode, and Aztec.
▪ Best-in-class reading performance means 8050 reads
damaged, plastic-wrapped, direct inkjet, low-contrast,
poorly printed, scraped, obstructed, uneven, torn,
small, and smudged barcodes.
