The readers use proprietary decoding algorithms and imaging technology to improve efficiency and throughput by maintaining high reading speeds in low-light environments and when codes are damaged.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology enhances image quality and contrast to improve code handling and enables greater coverage for better efficiency. High-speed Liquid Lens Technology (HSLL) dynamically autofocuses without any mechanical parts, allowing the reader to easily handle high-speed applications with high variability.
Cognex’s High Power Integrated Illuminator (HPIT) allows operators to switch between red, white, blue and green illumination, providing optimal contrast regardless of the operating environment. Multi-colored lighting can also serve as an indicator of operator performance.
The DataMan 280 series readers, combined with Cognex Edge Intelligence (EI), turn big data into smart data to improve overall facility efficiency and throughput. EI allows users to configure multiple devices simultaneously, making it easy to instantly monitor and analyze system performance. This technology notifies users when problems occur and enables operators to more quickly identify and address root causes using powerful image analysis and display tools.
