Scan all types of bar codes (ID reading)
What is a barcode scanner and how does ID reading work?
A barcode scanner is a device capable of reading the data of a barcode. Depending on the barcode scanner, a different technique is used. Think lasers or image recognition. We always use the scanners of Cognex. They can read all popular "barcode symbologies," such as UPC-A, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 or 5, Data Matrix, QR, MaxiCode and Aztec, among others. Once the code is scanned, the read data can be used to track the object through its cycle in the production process.
Bar codes have three major advantages, which is why they are so frequently used in industrial applications:
- They are understood worldwide
- They enable traceability
- They offer automation, speed and therefore efficiency
