Why just scan it when you can read it?
|
|
|
Digital imaging technology has become much more affordable—not only for consumers but also for industry.
Today, you can replace your laser scanners with image-based ID readers from Cognex for a competitive price. The new DataMan® QL Series of image-based ID code readers prove more reliable for all 1D and stacked barcodes: PDF417, DataBar, Composite Codes.
Also important is that the DataMan QL is future proof to protect your investment. A simple software upgrade enables you to read 2D Data Matrix codes as well as 1D barcodes should your needs change.

Can your laser scanner match this performance?
|
For the most reliable 1D barcode reading, Cognex has developed 1DMax™, a best-in-class 1D barcode-reading algorithm. It is optimized for omnidirectional barcode reading eliminating the need to re-orient labels to accommodate the scanner or for multiple scanners.
It can also handle extreme variations in contrast, blur, noise, perspective, voids, specularity and damage as well as quiet zone violations that can occur when codes are printed close to the edge of a label.

MultiCode Capability

|
|
The DataMan 100/200 readers support the ability to read multiple codes in a single image (single or self trigger mode) or in a sequence of images (burst trigger mode). The QL readers are able to multiple lines of 1D barcodes at the same time, up to 128 codes in the field of view! Try that with your laser scanner! Download the QL Datasheet to learn more.

Listen to the Podcast: Why Image-based ID Readers?
|
While laser scanners still represent the largest portion of barcode readers in use today, they are rapidly being replaced by image-based readers. In our newest podcast, Jamie Pearce, Product Marketing Manager for Cognex ID Products, discusses the move away from laser scanners toward image-based readers for many industries. He presents the reasons why image-based readers provide superior reading performance to laser scanners as well as speaks to the overall trend toward the adoption of 2D codes in manufacturing which specifically requires the adoption of image-based readers. Listen, download or read the podcast to learn more about image-based ID readers.
