Image-based barcode reader designed to outperform reliability of laser scanners

摘要

Cognex has announced its new DataMan 500 image-based barcode reader, which is designed to achieve higher read rates, offer improved on-line visualization, and have higher reliability than laser scanners currently in use in logistics, postal, and retail distribution applications. Cognex says its IDMax code reading software helps DataMan 500 achieve higher read rates by reading 1D barcodes that laser readers cannot read, including damaged, distorted, blurred, scratched, low height, and low contrast codes.
