Right-Sized Scanner Merges High-Value Design with High-Performance Data Capture for Retailers and Mid-Sized Firms
Right-sized and right-featured for fast-paced workflows, CR2100 pairs the secure Bluetooth® 5 Low Energy wireless standard with Code’s signature Near-Zero Miss Scanning. This industry-exclusive combination brings 99.9995% accurate scanning to millions of workers who cope with damaged, dirty, stylized and poorly printed 1D and 2D barcodes daily.
The CR2100’s debut coincides with retail’s data-driven renaissance propelled by eGrocery, brick-and-click models, and scan-and-go shopping apps.
Supermarkets are Super Data Intensive
- In 2022, 63,328 U.S. grocers saw an estimated 29-30 million daily visits Monday-Thursday.
- In 2023, 6,000 big-box stores dotted America.
- In 2024, some 15.5 billion square feet of warehousing kept American shelves full — about 1 billion short of what’s needed to sustain growth.
- By 2028, eGrocery will grow three times faster than in-store shopping, hitting $120 billion annually.
These stats represent a staggering number of UPCs needing error-free entry into inventory management systems. Because barcodes unify production and the point-of-sale (POS), retailers and their partners will benefit from aggressive data capture with Code’s CR2100 cordless scanner.
Code’s CR2100 retail barcode scanner provides fast-paced businesses with enterprise-grade data capture.
The CR2100 brings 99.9995% scan accuracy to logistics, warehousing and light manufacturing.
A Streamlined Scanner for Simpler Scanning
In developing the CR2100 handheld scanner, Code sought to:
- Make enterprise-grade wireless barcode scans faster, more accurate and more affordable than ever for more data-hungry businesses.
- Thus, a retail-focused version of the high-quality architecture from Code’s flagship, the CR2700 Barcode Reader, underpins the CR2100. This AIDC platform boasts the industry’s lowest return rates of <0.5% (versus the industry average of 3-6%), validating reliability.
Code then streamlined the CR2100’s internals, blending high value with high performance through:
Dependable Data Capture:
- Multi-directional, high-speed reading of 40+ barcode types, including 1D, 2D and postal codes.
- Consumer-packaged goods firms are preparing for the Sunrise 2027 Initiative. By 2027, data-rich 2D barcodes will replace 1D UPC barcodes; stores and warehouses will need compatible 2D barcode readers.
- Scanning on smudged, cracked or dirty mobile screens
- Bluetooth® dongles for pairing with supported Android, iOS and Windows computers or devices
- Batch mode stores data for subsequent offload
- Bluetooth® 5 Low Energy to enhance data security and extend battery life up to 50,000 scans per charge
- Swappable battery with built-in power gauge for continuous use and proactive management
Worry-Free Use:
- A housing crafted from Level 1 award-winning CodeShield Disinfectant-Ready Plastic.
- The CR2100 may be wiped down with everyday cleaners, including non-bleach disinfectant wipes and 0.5% hydrogen peroxide cleaners.
- A seamless, easy-to-clean housing
- An IP52-rated design, validating the scanner electronics are protected from tilted water drips and nearly all dust
- The simplicity and added durability of inductive charging
Versatility:
- Three trigger buttons
- Hands-free motion detection barcode reading when mounted with compatible Code accessories
The Right Fit for any SMB
Small-to-medium businesses will also benefit from the CR2100’s unique combination of features, functions and form. Preventive clinic personnel can now accurately track and trace assets such as surgical tools. CR2100 will also digitalize logging for electronics repair and service personnel; the energy-efficient barcode reader will also be an asset for membership-based firms, such as gyms, needing streamlined check-in.
The CR2100 leverages Code’s 25 years of providing worry-free barcode scanning for retail, healthcare and industrial enterprises. Starting with powerful data capture that will sharpen tomorrow’s decisions starts with contacting Code today.

Code readers give you industry-leading decoding speeds when scanning any of the 40+ supported code types. Choose a reader that will give your team insight at light speed and support the many facets of your unique workflow.
A scanner that handles everything you throw at it.
With trail-blazing scan accuracy, our readers are fluent in 40+ code types. This accuracy has been proven both in testing and in the real-world integrations Code customers depend on. While your own results may vary, one specific real-world test required barcode reading on wrinkled plastic with reflective barcodes moving past a scanner at 6 inches per second (see ZiuZ Medical Case Study in the Docs section). Results from this test were exceptional, leading ZiuZ to choose Code over alternative decoders.
Barcode Symbologies Supported:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Custom Solutions |
1D
Stacked

Near Zero Miss Accuracy
Near Zero Miss (99.9995%) accuracy has brought thousands of businesses in 100 countries the reliability and speed they need to keep their workflow flowing.
You Don't Have to Choose Between Reliability and Speed
With industry-leading scan accuracy, our Near Zero Miss Readers outscan the competition, not only in tests but in real-world performance as well. While your own results may vary, in one specific real-world test on wrinkled plastic and reflective barcodes moving past a scanner at 6 inches per second (see ZiuZ Medical Case Study in the Docs section), results were more than acceptable.
