Batch reading of 2D codes on EV battery modules

With the expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market, production management and traceability of battery modules, which are key components, are becoming increasingly important. This image shows an application where 2D codes printed on multiple EV battery modules loaded on a pallet are read all at once by the KEYENCE logistics code reader, SR-5000 Series.

With its overwhelmingly wide field of view and long-range performance, the SR-5000 Series can complete processes that previously required multiple cameras or robotic scanning with just a single unit. The high-resolution sensor instantly and stably reads numerous codes scattered over a wide area, directly leading to a significant reduction in takt time and an improvement in productivity. In a factory automation (FA) environment integrated with robots and conveyors, it ensures reliable individual management of battery modules and dramatically enhances the level of quality control. This is a solution that solves challenges in manufacturing sites requiring advanced process control, including the automotive industry.
