Code Reading

We are able to read 1D (barcode) and 2D codes with the vision sensors and camera systems that we use. Depending on the application you can read up to 60 codes per second. With the used systems we are able to read at least the following codes:

• Code 39 (Code 3 of 9 and BC39)
• Code 128
• Code I2of5 (Interleaved 2 of 5)
• UPC (Universal Product Code)
• EAN (European Article Numbering)
• Pharma Code
• POSTNET
• PLANET
• RSS-14 (Reduced Space Symbology) and RSS Stacked
• RSS Limited
• Codabar (NW-7, USD-4 and Code 2 of 7)
• Code 93
• UPU 4-State
• Australia Post 4-State
• Japan Post 4-State
• USPS OneCode 4-State
• Data Matrix
• QR Code
• RSS CC-A (2D CC-A)
• RSS CC-B (2D CC-B)
• PDF417

The following pictures show various 1D- and 2C-Codes which can be read.

Barcode reading

DataMatrix reading

With our systems, it is possible to read and verify multiple codes simultaneously. Moreover, there is the possibility to combine the Code Reading with other image processing tools, e.g. Text Reading as shown in the picture below.

The vision systems used are supporting the latest codes and can, for example, read and decode an EAN-Data Matrix Code without any problems. The reading routines are very robust, so the following codes (different background, bad lighting, blurred image, randomly oriented and deformed code, etc.) are identified correctly. Printed, lasered or nailed codes provide no problem for the systems.
