​​Battery Traceability & Manufacturing​ 

Batteries are essential to powering electric vehicles (EVs), automobiles, and consumer electronics, but manufacturers have an obligation to keep track of where their batteries go and how they got there. To conform with industry regulations, they need to trace battery details like raw material sources and processing facilities.

​Cognex solutions simplify that tracking, reading barcodes and characters to decode and transmit important battery information even if the codes are damaged, obscured, or on curved, reflective surfaces. Powerful optics, imaging technology, and pre-trained font libraries support high-throughput code-reading in difficult environments.​

​​Optimize read rates at every step​

​Battery manufacturers and end-markets like automotive, electronics, and EVs rely on codes to track and trace components. Alphanumeric codes and barcodes convey critical information about each battery, like where raw materials were sourced, where it was processed, and which machines were used. This tracing information, as well as tracking batteries to their destination, is important for regulatory compliance, root-cause analysis, and supply chain efficiency.  

Codes on battery labels share key details, including battery type, manufacturing date, and performance specifications. But low-contrast backgrounds, glossy labels, and reflective or uneven battery surfaces make codes hard to read, risking delays, rework, and compliance issues. 

Cognex barcode scanners enable seamless battery tracking and tracing throughout the supply chain. With AI-powered decoding software, powerful optics, and robust imaging technology, battery manufacturers can gain the visibility they need to stay efficient, compliant, and confident.​ 

​​Accurate, high-speed traceability – even in challenging conditions

​Whether you’re tracking EV or smartphone batteries, reliable tracking and traceability for high-volume production lines depends on the ability to read codes quickly, accurately, and in challenging environments. Cognex DataMan barcode scanners combine AI, powerful lighting, and high-resolution imaging technology for efficient scanning – from raw materials through final assembly. 

Cognex industrial scanning solutions deliver:

  • ​Robust code reading from hand-held and fixed-mount barcode readers easily handles low-contrast, damaged, or reflective codes with precision.
  • ​High-resolution cameras with wide fields of view scan multiple codes on numerous batteries simultaneously for high-volume efficiency.
  • ​Advanced imaging and powerful decoding algorithms improve image contrast to read direct part marks (DPMs) at high speeds, despite scratches, faint markings, or missing elements.​
