Industrial barcode readers, also known as barcode scanners, are visual recognition solutions that can integrate barcode recognition, data processing, transmission, and communication functions, and are mainly used in SMT assembly lines, assembly line picking/installation, packaging line active coding/labeling, robot stacking, drug canning and other automated production lines and intelligent production scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions about Smart Production:
1. The manual data collection of the assembly line is inefficient, high load and prone to errors;
2. The reading scale of the existing fixed code reader in the SMT assembly line is small, and multiple equipment needs to be distributed, and the maintenance cost is high;
3. The code reader often misses the scanning phenomenon, stops the line and reworks, and forms the loss of manpower and time cost of the enterprise;
4. The production line work order switching needs to frequently adjust the position of the barcode reader, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Specific applications for industrial barcode readers:
1. The SMT assembly line mobile code reader intelligent industrial code reader can avoid the error discrimination of manual detection and the problems of less codes, duplicate codes and lack of codes by identifying the barcode information of products on the production line, and can improve work efficiency.
2. The assembly line picking/installation of barcode readers can assist front-line workers on the semi-active chemical level to free their hands and actively collect barcode data.
3. The industrial barcode reader can cooperate with the active labeling machine/inkjet printer to complete the batch barcode data collection and verification after active labeling.
4. In the robot stacking link of goods transfer, industrial barcode readers have a wider reading distance and field of vision, which can perfectly complete the active data collection in the transfer of goods.
5. Beverage/wine traceability code reading Beverage/wine can be packaged at high frequency and high speed through the industrial code reader installed on the assembly line to complete high-frequency and high-speed barcode collection, helping the source to be checked, the destination can be traced, and the information can be visualized.

Cognex Barcode Readers—Ten Reasons Why You Should Choose an Image Barcode Reader
1. Read rate
The read rate is the most important way to measure a handheld computer. The read rate is the number of barcodes read divided by the total number of barcodes attempted to be read. It is usually expressed as a percentage, with the closer to 100% the better. That is, the read rate is a measure of how much the reader reads the application.
