Datecs Linea Pro

Linea Pro iPhone and iPad scanner sleds for event badge scanning, retail line-busting and mobile POS.

The Linea Pro is a rugged case that clips onto an iPhone or iPad and adds a professional 1D/2D barcode scanner — and, on selected models, a magnetic-stripe or contactless card reader — turning a standard Apple device into a one-handed mobile scanner and point of sale. Because it uses a device your team already knows, it deploys faster and costs far less to run than dedicated rugged handhelds.

It's the go-to hardware for event and exhibition teams scanning attendee badges — fast check-in, session tracking and lead capture, with the data feeding straight into your registration or lead-retrieval app. The same sled doubles as mobile POS: line-busting and assisted sale in retail, pay-at-table in hospitality, and stock and receiving in the back office.

We supply Linea Pro sleds across the full iPhone and iPad device-fit range, matched to the exact handset or tablet and scan engine (Zebra, Honeywell or Opticon) your team uses. As a UK trade supplier we handle device-fit advice, MDM-friendly bulk supply, event-week turnaround and pre-sales spec.

Frequently asked questions

Can Linea Pro scan attendee badges at events and exhibitions?

Yes — event and exhibition teams use Linea Pro sleds for fast badge check-in, session scanning and lead capture. The scanner reads 1D and 2D badge codes and the data feeds straight into your registration or lead-retrieval app on the iPhone or iPad. We can turn around volume orders for a specific event date.

Does the Linea Pro also work as a mobile POS?

Yes. Selected models add an encrypting magnetic-stripe or contactless card reader, so the same sled scans barcodes and takes card payments — line-busting and assisted sale in retail, pay-at-table in hospitality, and mobile checkout at events.

Which iPhone and iPad models do Linea Pro sleds fit?

Linea Pro sleds are device-specific — each is cut for a particular iPhone or iPad generation, including iPad mini. Tell us your exact handset or tablet and we'll match the correct sled and scan engine; device-fit is the main thing to confirm before ordering.
