Pallet transport: Case reading

On pallet conveyance lines in logistics warehouses and manufacturing sites, accurately and quickly reading the barcodes on a large number of multi-stacked cardboard cases is key to improving work efficiency. However, manual scanning is time-consuming and carries risks such as shipping errors and inventory discrepancies due to reading mistakes.

KEYENCE's ST Series scan tunnel system solves these problems. With its overwhelmingly wide field of view and long focal distance performance, it is possible to read barcodes and QR codes on cases stacked in multiple layers and rows on a pallet moving along a conveyor, all at once in a single scan. Even for pallets conveyed at high speeds, its unique algorithm corrects for blur and misalignment, ensuring stable reading.

This bulk reading technology completely automates the tedious scanning work that was previously done manually, contributing to labor savings and a dramatic improvement in productivity. It promotes the automation of logistics processes, enhances traceability accuracy, and provides an optimal solution for preventing shipping errors.
