A QR scanner installed inside a vending machine needs to remain securely fixed behind the front panel. If the module has no suitable mounting points, the machine builder may need to add adhesive or design an extra holder.

The XTIOT XT205M5 is an embedded QR scanner module with mounting holes for fixed installation inside vending machines.

Fixed Installation Inside the Machine

The mounting holes allow the XT205M5 to be secured to a bracket or internal panel with screws. This provides a more stable installation than using adhesive alone.

Once installed, the scanner position is less likely to move during machine assembly, transportation or daily operation. A stable position also helps keep the scanning lens aligned with the front-panel window.

Before producing the bracket, customers should compare the XT205M5 mechanical drawing with the available mounting space and hole positions inside the machine.

Barcode Reading

The XT205M5 reads common 1D and 2D barcodes from printed labels and mobile phone screens. Decoded barcode data is sent to the vending machine controller.

XTIOT supplies the scanner hardware and communication documentation. The vending machine software is developed by the customer.
