scanware electronic GmbH unveils its newest code reader, SIGNUM 2DC (QI). Engineered for high-performance environments in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food packaging industries, the SIGNUM 2DC (QI) combines a compact footprint with functionality to boost productivity and streamline integration.
The unit has a diminutive footprint of 47.9 by 36 mm, enabling installation even in very tight spaces. Furthermore, thanks to auto-focus, it offers a flexible reading area of up to 300 by 220 mm.
The SIGNUM 2DC (QI) operates on scanware’s newly developed QI (Quality Intelligence) software platform—a modern, Linux-based architecture that brings powerful features such as simplified teach-in, gesture control, and icon-based navigation. The interface aligns with other scanware systems, offering a familiar and user-friendly experience without a steep learning curve.
“At scanware, we believe code reading is only part of the equation,” says Dirk Schneider, Product Manager at scanware. “What sets the SIGNUM 2DC apart is its integration into broader line management systems—enabling companies to verify, control, and document multiple packaging steps through one cohesive interface.”
Whether reading standard barcodes or complex 2D codes, the SIGNUM 2DC (QI) delivers reliable performance, thanks to complex lighting technology—ideal for challenging print or material surfaces. Its modular mounting options also ensure hassle-free installation in a wide variety of production setups.
Notably, the SIGNUM 2DC (QI) combines scanware’s trusted engineering with an accessible price point—offering manufacturers a balance of technology and cost-efficiency.
This launch represents the culmination of over two decades of expertise in code reading technology, with a focus on real-world production challenges and user-centric design. The SIGNUM 2DC (QI) follows in the footsteps of other scanware solutions that have migrated to the new software architecture in recent years.
