In picking and sorting processes in distribution warehouses and on production lines, reading the codes of multiple products on trays flowing on a conveyor is a critical point that affects productivity. Because the position and orientation of the products are random, does it take a long time to read with manual scanning or conventional code readers, becoming a bottleneck for takt time?
The solution to this challenge is 'bulk tray reading' with the KEYENCE logistics code reader, SR-5000 Series. With its overwhelmingly wide field of view and high-speed reading performance, it instantly scans all the barcodes and 2D codes printed on multiple products in a tray at once, without stopping the conveyor. It recognizes codes with high accuracy even if their position or angle is off, eliminating the need for prior alignment work.
This solution significantly reduces the man-hours for reading tasks, greatly contributing to operational efficiency and productivity improvement. It also leads to the prevention of shipping errors and improved accuracy in traceability management, strongly promoting the automation of logistics processes.
