The built-in 2800 mAh lithium battery supports long-term operation, which is particularly important for field devices that must remain active across work shifts or multiple scanning sessions. Its optical engine provides autofocus capabilities to support fast and accurate reading of 1D and 2D barcodes. The unit is designed to operate effectively in varied lighting conditions and scanning angles, which are common challenges for portable equipment. Once embedded in a PDA handheld terminal, the module enables workers to move freely and complete barcode-related tasks such as package tracking, access control, or asset logging. Its consistent performance and modular integration make it suitable for building customized PDA device systems that demand reliable data acquisition without sacrificing mobility or energy efficiency.
Product Advantages
Embedded scanning with reduced development workload
One of the key benefits of this module is that it allows device manufacturers to quickly integrate barcode scanning into their products without developing the scanning system from scratch. The decoding engine, autofocus optics, and data transmission functions are all contained within the module, so developers only need to focus on how the unit connects to the host processor. This is particularly advantageous for companies creating PDA handheld solutions that must perform scanning tasks in logistics, ticketing, or warehouse operations. By using this module in a PDA device, development timelines can be shortened, and design risks reduced.
Adaptable connectivity for multiple environments
With USB and 433 MHz connectivity, the module supports both direct cable-linked use and short-range wireless transmission. This dual-mode communication system allows manufacturers to adapt the module for various application environments. In a PDA handheld, USB can be used during docking or charging, while the wireless channel enables live scanning without connection constraints. For PDA device platforms that are fixed or partially mobile, this versatility in communication gives designers options when planning system architecture. It also supports modular device upgrading in scenarios where one communication method may be more stable or practical than the other.
Accurate decoding and support for diverse formats
The barcode engine is capable of reading standard 1D and 2D formats with precision and speed. This ensures consistent data capture in retail, transport, or industrial applications where barcode types may vary. Its built-in autofocus allows users to scan from different distances and angles without manual adjustment, improving efficiency for on-the-move operators. When integrated into a PDA handheld, the module maintains decoding accuracy even during frequent or continuous scanning sessions. In a PDA device designed for check-in, inspection, or field data collection, this consistency reduces operational delays and improves task reliability.
Use Scenarios
Warehouse inventory and terminal equipment
In warehouse operations, mobile staff often rely on PDA handheld terminals to scan inventory items during stock checks, goods receipt, or dispatch processes. When the CARDLAN XTP01 is embedded into these devices, it allows workers to move freely while collecting barcode data. The combination of USB and wireless communication options allows real-time syncing or batch uploads depending on network access. Since the module handles barcode decoding internally, the PDA device running the operation only needs to log results and manage display and storage. This improves speed and reduces scanning failures during large-scale inventory tasks.
Transportation and mobile dispatch systems
Field teams responsible for transportation tasks can embed this module into PDA handheld terminals used in buses, delivery vans, or transport checkpoints. These devices can be used to scan tickets, verify item IDs, or collect passenger data on the move. The compact module ensures that scanning remains accurate despite movement or limited space. Once collected, data can be transferred via USB connection at the base station or transmitted over the 433 MHz wireless link. For fleet operations that rely on custom PDA device units, this module supports mobile scanning functions without the need for separate scanning peripherals.
Retail point-of-sale and handheld checkout
In retail applications, barcode scanning modules are integrated into compact checkout or pricing terminals. By embedding the XTP01 module, retailers can create PDA handheld units for mobile sales or price verification across store aisles. These portable terminals read both 1D and 2D codes, allowing compatibility with a wide range of product barcodes and customer-presented codes. The internal autofocus function ensures that the device can handle fast-paced transactions with minimal scan errors. For PDA device models installed at fixed counters or mobile carts, the module adds scanning capability without adding bulk or requiring additional setup.
