Simultaneously reading part number barcodes and lot number 2D codes on cardboard boxes

On high-speed conveyor lines in logistics warehouses and factories, simultaneously reading the barcode indicating the product number and the 2D code managing the lot number and manufacturing date on conveyed cardboard boxes is key to improving traceability. However, code misalignment, variations in print quality, and missed reads due to conveyor speed have been major challenges hindering productivity.

KEYENCE's SR-5000 Series logistics code reader solves this problem. The SR-5000 Series, with its overwhelmingly wide field of view and long focal distance, can read multiple codes printed on the side of a cardboard box all at once with a single unit, even if they are far apart. This allows for the consolidation of barcode readers that were conventionally required in multiple, contributing to reduced equipment costs and space savings.

Furthermore, it instantly focuses on fast-moving workpieces and stably decodes challenging codes with fading or bleeding using its unique algorithm. This high reading performance promotes the automation of sorting and inspection processes in logistics and manufacturing sites, leading to a significant improvement in productivity.
