# Brady Granit Ultra 2100iXR: Performance and Durability for Industrial Scanning
The Brady Granit Ultra 2100iXR is an ultra-rugged corded industrial scanner designed to provide fast, reliable barcode capture in demanding logistics and industrial environments. From warehouses and distribution centers to loading docks and production sites, it combines high-performance scanning, extended range and enhanced durability to support operators throughout their daily tasks.
Thanks to its imaging technology and advanced decoding capabilities incorporating artificial intelligence algorithms, the Granit Ultra 2100iXR delivers reliable reading of 1D and 2D barcodes, even when they are damaged, poorly printed or low quality. This helps reduce failed scans and manual data entry that can slow down operations and increase the risk of errors.
## Fast scanning to streamline operations
In high-throughput environments, data capture speed plays an essential role in productivity. The Brady Granit Ultra 2100iXR is designed to read and transmit information quickly, with scanning speeds reported to be up to 45% faster than the previous Granit XP generation in manufacturer benchmark testing.
With motion tolerance of up to 4 m/s, the scanner can also capture barcodes efficiently when either the scanner or the object is moving. This responsiveness supports repetitive receiving, picking, inspection, production and shipping operations.
The scanner supports a wide range of symbologies, including 1D, 2D, PDF, postal, Digimarc, DOT Code and OCR, making it suitable for a broad variety of applications.
## XR range designed for logistics operations
The XR (Expanded Range) version provides an extended scanning range, allowing operators to capture barcodes both at close range and from several meters away, depending on the barcode type and size. The Granit Ultra 2100iXR can, for example, read a 13 mil UPC barcode from up to approximately 1.8 meters and a 100 mil Code 39 barcode from more than 10 meters under optimal conditions.
This capability enables operators to scan labels located on pallets, racks or hard-to-reach locations without having to move closer each time. It helps reduce unnecessary walking, bending and handling while speeding up warehouse operations.
Its precise laser aiming system makes it easier to target the correct barcode, particularly when several labels are positioned close together. The scanner can also capture multiple barcodes within its field of view and organize the collected data in a predefined order.
## Ultra-rugged design for demanding environments
The Brady Granit Ultra 2100iXR is built to withstand the challenges of industrial and logistics environments. It can withstand drops of up to 3 meters and has been tested to survive 7,500 tumbles from a height of 1 meter. Its trigger has also been tested for up to 3 million activations, making it suitable for intensive daily use.
Its IP65 and IP68 ratings provide enhanced protection against dust and water. The deeply recessed scan window is designed to better withstand scratches and impacts while protecting the scanner’s optical components.
With an operating temperature range from -30°C to 50°C, the scanner can be used in a wide variety of conditions, including cold environments and industrial areas exposed to high temperatures. This durability helps reduce downtime caused by equipment damage and improve device availability.
## Ergonomics designed for everyday use
The Granit Ultra 2100iXR is also designed to make operators’ daily tasks easier. Its ergonomic design supports comfortable handling during repetitive operations, while focused illumination clearly defines the scanning area.
Several indicators immediately confirm a successful scan, including LEDs, an audible signal with adjustable tone and volume, and adjustable vibration. These different feedback options are particularly useful in noisy industrial environments.
In its corded configuration, the Granit Ultra 2100iXR can be integrated into existing infrastructures through several interfaces, including USB, serial and Keyboard Wedge.
By combining fast data capture, extended scanning range, ergonomics and enhanced durability, the Brady Granit Ultra 2100iXR meets the needs of businesses looking to improve data capture reliability while maintaining high operational throughput. It helps reduce errors and manual intervention, minimize equipment-related downtime and improve the efficiency of traceability operations.
