The Datalogic AV500 is a high-performance fixed mount 2D barcode scanner for automated data capture in logistics, distribution, retail and airport baggage handling systems. With a 5 MP image sensor, 32 FPS image acquisition, dynamic or adjustable focus, PackTrack™ technology, integrated illumination and rugged IP65 construction, AV500 is designed for high-speed conveyor reading, unattended barcode capture, manual loading stations and demanding industrial scanning environments.
The Datalogic AV500 is an industrial image-based barcode reader designed for high-speed transportation systems, logistics operations, conveyor lines and airport baggage-handling applications. It uses a high-resolution 5 MP image sensor with acquisition at 32 frames per second to capture 1D, 2D, stacked and postal codes in demanding automated environments.
With dynamic or adjustable focus, multiple lens options and continuous, non-flashing illumination, the AV500 supports both unattended scanning and operator-attended applications such as overhead scanning, manual object presentation and manual conveyor loading.
For operations where barcode-reading speed, object spacing, traceability and image capture are critical, the AV500 provides a powerful fixed-scanner platform for automated identification and logistics data capture.
The AV500 is built for conveyor-based data capture where moving objects must be identified rapidly and accurately. It is suitable for logistics hubs, warehouses, distribution centres and baggage-handling systems where parcels, cartons, totes or bags pass through automated reading zones.
The scanner supports applications where objects may vary in size, orientation, code position and movement speed. Its wide field of view, extended depth of field, integrated aiming system and configurable focus options make it suitable for complex scanning layouts.
Typical conveyor-scanning tasks include:
The AV500 uses a 5 MP image sensor with image acquisition at 32 frames per second. This provides the resolution and speed required for high-performance industrial reading applications, especially where codes must be captured on moving objects.
The high-resolution sensor helps capture detailed images for decoding, verification, traceability and image-storage workflows. Region of Interest (ROI) windowing can also be used to increase the frame rate when an application only requires part of the image area.
The AV500 offers dynamic or adjustable focus options, providing an extended depth of field for applications where object height, position or distance may vary. Multiple lens options allow the system to be configured according to the required scanning distance, field of view and conveyor layout.
This is especially useful for:
The correct lens and focus configuration should be selected according to object dimensions, barcode size, conveyor width, mounting distance, required depth of field and reading speed.
Datalogic PackTrack™ technology helps the AV500 maintain accurate barcode-to-object assignment when items are positioned close together on a conveyor. This allows smaller gaps between objects and can improve system productivity across sorting and logistics workflows.
PackTrack™ is especially relevant when:

The AV500 includes software and hardware capabilities designed to improve decoding performance, image handling and overall system productivity.
Key software-related capabilities include:
These features make the AV500 suitable for barcode-reading applications where captured images, traceability records and system monitoring form part of the wider automation workflow.
The AV500 is designed for integration into industrial barcode-reading systems, conveyor lines, logistics sorting systems and airport automation environments. Its browser-based e-GENIUS™ interface allows configuration through common devices, including computers and tablets, without requiring a dedicated local software environment.
Integration features include:
MarvelTech can help review the application layout, barcode type, conveyor speed, reading distance, object spacing and system communication requirements before recommending the appropriate AV500 configuration.
The AV500 is built for demanding logistics and industrial environments. Its rugged metal enclosure, IP65 protection and active cooling support reliable operation in intensive scanning installations.
The scanner is suitable for environments where equipment may be exposed to dust, vibration, temperature variation, continuous operation and industrial cleaning procedures.
Rugged design features include:
The AV500 is especially relevant to transportation and logistics operations where high-speed identification and reliable item tracking are required.
Applications include:
In distribution and retail environments, the AV500 can support item identification, fulfilment accuracy and the automated movement of goods through warehouse and distribution processes.
Applications include:
The AV500 is suitable for airport baggage-handling systems where barcode tags must be read rapidly and reliably as bags move through automated handling infrastructure.
Airport applications include:
The AV500 supports both unattended and operator-attended scanning workflows.
Unattended applications include automated conveyor scanning, sorting tunnels, baggage handling and logistics identification systems where codes are read without operator intervention.
Operator-attended applications include manual object presentation, overhead scanning and manual conveyor loading, where workers present or load objects into the scanner’s reading area.
This flexibility makes the AV500 useful for operations that combine automated product flows with manual handling points.
A handheld scanner is suitable when an operator manually scans one item at a time. The AV500 is more appropriate when barcode reading must be fixed, automated, faster and integrated into a conveyor or sorting process.
The AV500 is a stronger fit when:
A basic fixed scanner may be sufficient for controlled, low-speed applications with predictable barcode positioning. The AV500 is better suited to demanding applications involving high conveyor speeds, larger objects, variable code positions, closer item spacing and complex integration requirements.
The AV500 is especially relevant when:
The AV500 can form part of larger automated identification and sorting systems. It is suitable for DWS systems, logistics automation, baggage handling, carton traceability and barcode-based routing.
Typical integration points include:
MarvelTech can support AV500 projects by reviewing the mechanical layout, scanner positioning, barcode requirements, data communication, monitoring and integration with the wider automation environment.
MarvelTech supports industrial automation, stationary barcode scanning, machine vision, RFID, sensors and data-capture projects. For AV500 deployments, MarvelTech can help assess the scanning task, select the appropriate configuration and support integration into logistics, production or distribution workflows.
MarvelTech can help with:
The AV500 is a strong fit when an operation needs high-performance fixed barcode reading in a demanding industrial or logistics environment.
It is especially relevant when:
To recommend the correct AV500 configuration, MarvelTech can review your barcode types, conveyor layout, object sizes and system communication requirements.
