If 2D symbologies are going to be the challenge, you may want to look at both Industrial and Commercial level Two Dimensional Image (2D) readers. These can read not only all of the traditional 1D codes like Code 3 of 9, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, UPC, etc., but also the newer 2D codes like PDF417, DataMatrix, Aztec and MaxiCode that look like honeycombs. And they capture more than just barcodes; they can even capture signatures or pictures.

Sterigest was developed in 1997 in collaboration with two major hospitals in order to provide a system that is capable of providing a complete tracking and traceability system for any steam sterilised packs or instruments. The Sterigest system was conceived by the people who actually need to use the system on a day to day basis rather than by computer / IT specialists. The major advantages of the Sterigest system are its simplicity and ease of use coupled with its capability to be adapted to the individual need of the user. Bar Coded labels are used to individually identify each item being processed and tracked.

Camron Franklin with Microscan strategic partner Integrated System Solutions gives a tour of the Microscan booth at the 2011 PACK Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Camron introduces demo equipment that utilizes Microscan's new AutoVISION suite of machine vision products, including the Vision HAWK smart camera and AutoVISION machine vision software. This system identifies date/lot codes on cans using optical character recognition (OCR) and provides real-time feedback with a lighted pass/fail indicator.

In the manufacturing environment barcode scanners and machine vision products help to reduce costs, increase yields, improve product quality, and comply with industry regulations. Barcode scanners can be used to gather data for real-time visibility of operations and for historical record keeping (track and trace). Industrial machine vision systems enable automated inspection and process control.

Microscan has released three new innovative products to their already extensive line of machine vision equipment. The Vision MINI smart camera is the world's smallest machine vision system, AutoVISION Software simplifies machine vision and is scalable for beginner to expert use, and the Vision HAWK smart camera is the world's first liquid lens machine vision system.

AutoProof Pro MultiCheck is an all-in-one inspection solution, able to perform image comparisons, text comparisons, read barcodes and perform OCR on a single document-- all in a simple batch process. Define regions for each inspection type, or mask regions for the system to ignore. MultiCheck makes inspections fast and simple - scan the sample’s barcode to call up the corresponding master document, digitally image the sample, and let MultiCheck do the rest.

The Vision HAWK is a flexible industrial smart camera that delivers powerful vision capabilities in a compact, easy-to-use package. Developed for vision users of all experience levels in a broad range of applications, the Vision HAWK features an intuitive vision interface, integrated lighting, high resolution optical zoom, and simple plug and play connectivity. With the Vision HAWK, both integrators and end-users have a scalable, fully integrated vision solution to confidently solve any inspection, verification, or auto ID application.

The UID Compliance Verifier, LDP (UID-LDP) is designed for labels and data plates containing UID Data Matrix marks with thicknesses up to 1/8 inches (3.2 mm). The Diffuse Perpendicular (90) lighting allows the bottom of the light to be more than 1.5 inches from the mark for ease of use. The laser targeting aids in placing the mark in the center of the camera’s field of view (FOV). The FOV is 1.0 inches x 0.75 inches (25.4 mm x 19.0 mm).

The Vision MINI smart camera is designed specifically for reliable vision performance in embedded identification and inspection applications. As the world’s smallest fully integrated vision system, the Vision MINI’s ultra-compact size and wide angle optics provide the best performance available for machine vision tasks at close range. With the Vision MINI, OEM design engineers can quickly implement robust inspection, color matching, symbol decoding, OCR and more in a single compact vision solution.

This white paper discusses the challenges associated with capturing data when symbol orientation and quality can not be predicted. Ensuring readability for inconsistent symbols requires the use of symbol reconstruction technology.
