BT-A2000/A1000 series - Handheld Computer

Equipped with a triple camera and an AI core, the Android™ handheld computer BT-A2000/A1000 Series boasts a reading range three times that of conventional models thanks to this camera and KEYENCE’s proprietary reading technology. Barcodes can be read in an instant from any position with minimal movement required. Furthermore, the reading-only AI core automatically corrects challenging codes such as incomplete, dirty, and worn codes, making them readable. The result is greatly increased work efficiency through a reduced load in a variety of reading situations. Compact and equipped with a large screen, this handheld computer has an optimal ergonomic design that achieves usability and viewability. Additionally, because it is available with a 3-inch or 4-inch LCD, you can select the type that matches your application.

Features

Easy Reading from Any Position with Minimal Movement Required Leads to Significantly Increased Work Speed.

The triple camera design offers in-focus reading at short, medium, and long ranges for more than three times the reading distance of conventional models. Codes can be read not only at short distances but at long distances that conventionally prohibited reading, eliminating the need to reach or squat, allowing operators to read codes from natural positions with minimal movement required. The result is significantly increased work speed.

Before

Short reading distance makes it necessary to reach or squat.

After

Increased reading distance allows for easy reading from any position with minimal movement required.

Instant Reading of Challenging Codes and Printed Text

The reading-only AI core comes pre-trained with more than 100000 patterns of challenging codes. Incomplete codes are automatically corrected to make them readable. KEYENCE’s proprietary algorithm also provides unparalleled reading performance in a wide variety of applications, including reading at an angle and reading of incomplete, plastic-wrapped, dirty, or distorted codes.

Instant reading even with plastic wrapping

Instant reading with DPM codes

Instant Reading Even with Challenging Characters that Cannot be Read with Conventional Devices

The advanced character recognition function allows for instant reading of non-barcode dates and text. KEYENCE’s proprietary AI-OCR algorithm enables stable reading of challenging characters and direct-marked characters that cannot be read with conventional devices. Conventionally, it was necessary for operators to perform visual inspections, write down values, and transfer this data to a PC by hand. It is now possible to convert results to data just by scanning the target, improving work at a variety of worksites.

Before

Conventionally required visual inspection, recording, and manual PC entry

After

Easy reader-based data conversion with character recognition function

Characters readable with conventional devices (BT-OCR1)

Compact Design with a Large Screen for Impressive Usability and Viewability

Ultra-compact design

The highly visible 3-inch LCD and compact design means the BT-A1000 is lightweight and easy to carry and use.

Ultra-large screen with the same body size as conventional models

The large 4-inch LCD can display the same amount of information as a smart device with the same body size as conventional models for easy one-handed operation.

Code-free Development Tool Enables Application Creation with No Tedious Programming

With no need for difficult programming, the BT Development Tool makes creating your own handheld computer applications quick, easy, and inexpensive. The only operations required are as follows: selecting the required elements from a template, creating settings on the handheld computer screen with simple mouse operations (dragging items), and sending the created settings to the handheld computer with a single click.

Diverse Templates

The varied templates can be customised to create a wide range of applications.

Pokayoke (error-proofing)

Prevent human errors in work such as those in visual checks and manual entry of data.

Lot registration

Collect and manage warehousing and delivery data for parts and similar items. Lot numbers can also be read as text.

Label printing

Labels can be issued for and barcodes can be converted from the read text and dates on the spot.

Image capturing → file transfer

Images can be captured for use as evidence when products are missing, boxes are damaged, and in similar situations.
