The importance of tire code read rates, tracking, and traceability
Reading barcodes and alphanumeric codes on tires is crucial for meeting industry standards, maintaining supply chain visibility, managing recalls effectively, and improving efficiency. Without the ability to read codes, tire and automotive manufacturers risk costly recalls and safety issues, more defects, and reduced throughput.
The variety of modern, high-performance tires adds complexity to this process, increasing the risk of missed codes:
- tires arrive in random orientations
- low-contrast sidewall codes are difficult to read
- code location varies by manufacturer
- tread patterns vary in circumference and from the inner to the outer wall
Cognex barcode scanners and vision systems quickly read codes in demanding environments.
Increase tire read rates and supply chain visibility
Accurately reading tire codes speeds up classification, sorting, and logistics operations. Cognex vision systems deliver industry-leading readrates using:
- High-dynamic range plus (HDR+): imaging technology that maximizes contrast
- Pre-trained font libraries: make it easier to adapt to new alphanumeric codes
- AI-powered technology: enables machine vision systems and barcode scanners to read damaged, obscured codes
Cognex solutions are compact, easy to deploy, and user-friendly, with global support – helping you boost throughput, reduce errors, and maintain end-to-end traceability.
