Scanning through film on automatic packaging machines

In the shipping process of distribution warehouses and e-commerce sites, is the reading of barcodes and QR codes on products packaged with shrink film by automatic packaging machines stable? It is not uncommon for frequent reading errors to occur due to diffuse reflection from the film's gloss and wrinkles from packaging, often causing production line stoppages.

KEYENCE's SR-5000 Series logistics code reader was developed to solve these problems. It combines an overwhelmingly wide field of view with a large depth of focus, reliably reading multiple codes at once in a single scan, even if the product positions inside the cardboard boxes on the conveyor vary. Furthermore, its proprietary algorithm demonstrates excellent reading performance even under adverse conditions such as glare through film, faded printing, and dirt. It easily tracks high-speed workpieces and instantly captures 1D codes and 2D codes like DataMatrix, greatly contributing to shortening takt time and preventing shipping errors. It is the optimal solution for improving productivity and strengthening traceability on automated packaging lines.
