Bulk reading for shipping inspection

Shipping inspection work in distribution warehouses and manufacturing sites is a critical process for preventing shipping errors. However, the method of scanning the product codes inside a box one by one with a handheld computer takes an enormous amount of time and always carries the risk of human errors such as missed scans and duplicate scans.

In this application, KEYENCE's SR-5000 Series logistics code reader is introduced to achieve "batch reading," which reads the numerous product codes inside a packed cardboard box all at once. The SR-5000 Series boasts an overwhelmingly wide field of view and long-range reading performance, and can instantly and collectively recognize barcodes and QR codes at various positions and orientations inside the box.

Workers can complete the inspection instantly just by holding the box under the code reader, which dramatically improves work efficiency. This significantly shortens the lead time from picking to packing and shipping, and increases productivity. This is a solution that achieves both the elimination of shipping errors and the assurance of reliable traceability, powerfully promoting logistics DX and on-site automation.
