Key Features
High-speed, accurate barcode reading for logistics and distribution
Conventional barcode reading solutions require slower conveyor lines to effectively read multiple labels and symbologies on each package, reducing throughput. The DataMan 580 uses 1D/2D QuickSort, a proprietary algorithm that lets Cognex Modular Vision Tunnels decode up to three times faster than conventional scanners.
Cut costs and simplify your scanning solutions with single-scanner coverage of wide conveyors that works quickly enough to accommodate the highest-speed lines. A high-resolution sensor enables greater field-of-view and depth-of-field coverage to support the most demanding sortation applications.
Conventional linear scanning systems struggle to read packages that have uncontrolled movement or irregular shapes, which can distort images and lower read rates. The high-resolution area scan sensor embedded in the DataMan 580 ensures optimal images and high read rates, regardless of the package shape or environment.
Multi-reader sync (MRS) synchronizes multiple readers for extended field-of-view coverage or multi-side scanning. The primary reader collects data from secondary readers and communicates the results to the control system. Onboard high-speed connectivity allows the MRS network to easily offload all relevant images while maintaining image quality.

Easily set up and deploy DataMan 580 with Edge Intelligence
Cognex Edge Intelligence (EI) technology transforms big data into smart data to improve overall equipment effectiveness and throughput. With EI, users can configure multiple devices at once and access real-time system performance monitoring and analysis. It alerts users to issues as they arise, letting operators quickly identify and resolve root causes using advanced analytics and image-viewing tools.
Get high-contrast images in challenging logistics environments with HDR+ technology
HDR+ reduces over- and under-exposure, providing greater depth-of-field, above and beyond conventional imaging sensors. This greater depth of field ensures precise barcode reading across varying package sizes and shapes, enhancing performance in high-speed, dynamic logistics environments.
HDR+ significantly reduces exposure times by capturing multiple images at varying exposure levels in rapid succession. It then combines these images to enhance contrast and detail, minimizing the need for prolonged exposure while maintaining image quality. This ensures faster, clearer barcode reading in challenging lighting conditions.

Applications
A barcode scanner that delivers high-speed sortation, quickly and easily
The DataMan 580 is designed for the Cognex Modular Vision Tunnel and allows for fast deployment of multi-sided code reading.
A barcode scanner that delivers high-speed sortation, quickly and easily
DataMan 580 barcode scanners are designed for the Cognex Modular Vision Tunnel (MVT), which delivers high-throughput, no-touch barcode reading for improved traceability, and higher performance than 3-sided scanning tunnels.
Enhance your operations with ID+3D
When paired with a 3D dimensioner, DataMan 580-based MVTs can identify packages, label position, and label dimensions, which can optimize downstream processes and determine if a code complies with your specifications.
Reduce gaps between packages to increase throughput
Many conventional barcode reading solutions require significant gaps between packages, restricting throughput to ensure only one object is visible per trigger cycle. DataMan 580 removes this constraint by accurately tracking packages through the field of view, even during occlusion.
Detect label placement
Identify label position with every read result, creating label placement and package orientation insights that let you optimize downstream processes.
Verify label compliance in real time
Recognizing vendor label nonconformity at the outset can prevent time-consuming rework. Determine if a code’s dimensions are within your specifications by instantly measuring the printed size of each symbol.
