Scanning codes through vinyl wrapping

In distribution warehouses and on manufacturing lines, reading barcodes through vinyl packaging or shrink wrap is a typical challenge where errors frequently occur due to light reflection (glare). With conventional code readers, reading tends to be unstable, requiring workers to take products out of their bags to scan them, which significantly hinders productivity improvements.

KEYENCE's SR-X Series AI-powered code reader achieves overwhelmingly stable reading even under these adverse conditions. Its unique advanced image processing algorithm removes the effects of reflections from vinyl wrinkles and gloss in real time. Furthermore, by combining the built-in multi-lighting control and a polarizing filter (optional), it can instantly and accurately capture even challenging codes on highly glossy surfaces or with faint printing, which were previously given up on.

This innovative technology enables high-speed reading of workpieces on a conveyor without stopping them, dramatically improving the automation and efficiency of inspection and sorting tasks. By ensuring reliable reading even through vinyl, it greatly contributes to improving traceability and reducing human error.
