Scanning codes on bottles on a high-speed conveyor

On production lines in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, individual management and traceability of bottles transported at high speed are essential. However, there was a challenge in stably reading barcodes and 2D codes printed on cylindrical bottles moving at high speed, such as on rotary filling lines, due to reflections from curved surfaces and glossy labels.

The KEYENCE SR-L Series code reader for moving objects and labels provides the optimal solution to this challenge. As shown in the image, the built-in polarizing filter effectively suppresses surface glare even on numerous bottles being transported while rotating at high speed. It achieves overwhelming stability even under harsh conditions where conventional readers were prone to reading errors.

Furthermore, the SR-L Series' features of an ultra-wide field of view and long-range performance enable a single unit to read a wide range of codes at once, contributing to equipment space savings and cost reduction. It builds an accurate quality control and traceability system without compromising productivity at all, dramatically improving the reliability of the manufacturing process.
