1D / 2D Barcode Reader

High-powered Integrated Torch (HPIT)

Enhanced code reading with a single click

Cognex’s high-powered integrated torch (HPIT) enables operators to toggle between red, white, blue, and green lighting options. This helps ensure users have the right lighting for the right application by providing optimal contrast, no matter the operating environment. Multicolor lighting can also serve as a performance indicator, delivering immediate color-coded operator feedback.

Omnidirectional Code Reading

Omnidirectional code reading allows image-based barcode readers to accurately scan barcodes from any angle within a single view, eliminating the need for multiple laser scanners.

Lenses and Lights

High-quality image-based barcode readers feature advanced optics with multiple lens options, including autofocus or liquid lens technology, to automatically adapt to varying working distances.

Print and Marking Presence/Absence

Improve quality and optimize production efficiency

  • Take a photo of the text
  • Process the image and calculate the amount of marking on the product
  • Compare the amount of marking with a threshold reference

Consumer Confidence

Enhance product quality and maintain brand integrity by ensuring complete print information and code presence, coupled with a 100% quality inspection before market release.

Setup made easy

Minimize setup time with integrated SKU/article management and a user-friendly interface for easy threshold configuration.

Communication and connectivity

Streamline code management and reduce human error with centralized, integrated control of marking systems and multi-device setups via the Vision controller.

Production Efficiency

Improve efficiency and reduce costs with fast, reliable setup, enhanced OEE, and traceable quality through end-of-batch reports.

OCR / OCV

Advanced optical character recognition deciphers a range of text

The AI-enhanced edge learning read tool enables easy reading of characters on challenging surfaces, requiring minimal training with just a handful of sample images for effective deployment.

Comprehensive vision tool set addresses tasks of varying complexity

The In-Sight 2800/3800 series combines AI with rules-based tools in one system for versatile error-proofing applications, allowing individual or combined use for tasks ranging from simple to complex.

ViDi EL Read

The ViDi EL Read tool utilizes AI-based OCR to interpret diverse texts and fonts, excelling with multi-line text on difficult backgrounds and allowing rapid deployment with two training modes for both straightforward and intricate character reading applications.
