Scanning pallets and cases in automated warehouses

In automated warehouses (AS/RS) and on high-speed transport lines, reading barcodes on pallets and cardboard cases is a crucial process for promoting logistics DX. However, fast-moving targets and variations in label application positions can hinder stable reading and cause a decrease in productivity.

KEYENCE's SR-5000 Series logistics code reader was developed to solve these challenges in the logistics field. It achieves an overwhelmingly wide field of view, covering a wide area with a single unit where multiple code readers were previously required. This contributes to reducing equipment costs and saving space. It can also instantly and stably read 1D/2D codes on the sides of pallets and cases moving at high speed on a conveyor from a long distance.

It also supports codes behind vinyl and challenging codes with poor print quality, significantly reducing the risk of line stoppages due to reading errors. It dramatically improves the accuracy of receiving/shipping and inventory management, supporting the construction of an accurate traceability system. This is a solution that powerfully promotes labor savings and automation in distribution warehouses.
