Datalogic Matrix 120 — Product Overview
The Datalogic Matrix 120 is the smallest image based fixed industrial scanner in the Matrix family, built for machine builders and OEMs who have to read a 1D, 2D or direct part marked code inside a space where a full size camera simply will not fit. It is a self contained reader — sensor, optics, illumination, decoder and Ethernet interface in one housing — so there is no separate controller to mount, wire or licence.
It is supplied in two sensor configurations. The WVGA version (752 × 480 pixels) is the high speed, short range option at up to 57 frames per second, and the wide angle 1.2 MP version (1280 × 960 pixels) trades a little speed for finer resolution and a larger field of view. Both read 1D, 2D, DPM, Digimarc, postal and pharmacode symbologies, both carry Datalogic's Green Spot good read feedback, and both are rated IP65 with anti sulphur protection and ESD safety.
This page sets out the Matrix 120's full published specification, then lists the equivalent readers in the same resolution class from Keyence, Cognex and SICK so you can compare like for like before you raise a purchase order.

How to Confirm a True Equivalent
Six checks that decide whether an alternative reader is genuinely equivalent for your line.
- ApplicationDoes the alternative reader actually cover your code type, marking process, substrate and surface finish? A reader that matches on paper can still fail on a low-contrast laser mark.
- SpecificationsCompare sensor resolution, field of view, depth of field and frame rate at your real working distance — not at the manufacturer's best case.
- InterfaceCheck the fieldbus and protocol list against your PLC or line controller: PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP, Modbus, RS232 and OPC UA support all differ between brands.
- MountingHousing dimensions, connector orientation, cable exit and bracket pattern decide whether a swap is a bolt-on or a panel redesign.
- PerformanceValidate the achieved read rate on your own sample parts at line speed, not on a demonstration code.
- CompatibilityConfirm configuration software, licensing, spare parts availability, and whether your maintenance team already holds the tooling and training for that brand.
Typical Applications
Electronics and PCB assembly, solar cell and module lines, packaging, automotive small part assembly, OEM kiosks and instruments, healthcare and laboratory automation, and tyre marking.
