Meeting your code reading needs: with higher read rates, performance and resolution readers

Image-based ID readers are replacing laser scanners in a wide range of industries, but when considering a transition from laser scanners to image-based barcode readers some think the cost is too high.

Image-based ID readers have overcome economic hurdles and now offer a more attractive alternative to laser scanners on the factory floor.

This webinar will discuss 10 Reasons to Choose Image-based ID Readers based upon the areas where image-based ID readers have proven to outperform laser scanners, like:

• Read rate performance,
• Long-term reliability,
• Multiple code reading and output capability,
• Image archiving, and more...

While laser barcode scanners still represent the largest portion of the installed base of barcode readers today, they are rapidly being replaced by image-based barcode readers.

Image-based readers provide superior reading performance compared to laser-based 1D barcode scanners and there is an overall trend toward the adoption of 2D codes for part identification and traceability, which require the adoption of image-based readers. This webinar includes the following:

• Laser barcode scanning technology and limitations
• Image-based ID reading technology and advantages
• An introduction and demo of the DataMan® 100 QL 1D barcode reader featuring the 1DMax™ algorithm
• The transition from 1D to 2D codes

If you'd like to learn more about the transition from laser scanners to imagers for advanced 1D barcode reading or are considering a move from 1D to 2D, this webinar is for you!

Many parts traveling through the manufacturing chain carry human readable ID codes used for track and trace in production.

If you have ever experienced misreads that drive you crazy or you don’t know what the difference between OCV (optical character verification) and OCR (optical character recognition) is, then this is the webinar is for you.
During this webinar you will learn:

• How both OCV and OCR methods work
• How to identify which technology your current code reader is using
• The pros and cons of each method

And with a set of samples, our expert presenter will show you how Cognex Vision Tools can help your current processes.
