Key Features
Get accurate sorting results faster, right when you need them
Since line scan systems capture images one pixel row at a time, dust and debris on a scanner can block important code information and result in no reads. Cognex bottom-side systems capture more information in a single image, reducing the amount of data obscured and improving read rates.
These compact systems fit into tight spaces, needing less conveyor length with fewer installation restrictions than traditional line scanners. Maintenance is easy with a slide-out cover and mirror for single-side access. An optional air knife accessory automatically cleans the reading surface, simplifying upkeep and ensuring reliable performance.
Conveyor motion and vibration can create image artifacts and no reads with line-scan technology. Cognex Bottom-Side Barcode Reading Systems use area-based scanning technology and 2D feature-finding algorithms to reconstruct images, correcting for vibration and movement, ensuring reliable barcode reading even in challenging conditions.
Boost induction line efficiency
Enhance efficiency and traceability at induction stations by ensuring highly accurate package identification with Cognex bottom-side barcode reading systems. Achieving up to 99.9% read rates, these systems significantly reduce the need for re-circulation and rework, helping to minimize delays and operational costs. By capturing and recording each package’s barcode as it enters the sorting system, these solutions create a reliable record for every shipment. This comprehensive tracking enables seamless sorting while improving package traceability.
Upgrade a 5-sided tunnel for faster throughput
Boost operational efficiency and sorting speed by adding a Bottom-Side Barcode Reading System to a 5-sided Modular Vision Tunnel, reducing time and costs related to package rework and recirculation. By enabling accurate decoding on all six sides, this upgrade eliminates the need for manual orientation before sorting, resulting in significant labor savings and a more efficient workflow. The system consistently delivers high-performance barcode reading with up to 99.9% read rates, ensuring reliable identification, greater accuracy, and a significant boost in overall productivity.
