Barcode reading systems PDF Print E-mail

The market for automatic identification systems is profiting from the general, global trend for automation in all industrial sectors.

Amongst a variety of different identification technologies, the barcode technology offers tailor-made solutions for most applications and is established as a standard throughout the industry.

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sensor equipment, SICK is offering barcode readers and systems for quick, reliable and economic manufacturing and handling processes in industry, wholesale and transportation.

The SICK Auto Ident barcode reading product portfolio consists of the following equipment:

  • Fixed mounted barcode readers
  • Fixed mounted matrix code readers
  • Mobile hand-held scanners
  • Omni-directional barcode reading systems

Integration into various host computer systems (CAN, Interbus, DeviceNet, Profibus or Ethernet) is easy to realize thanks to a modular connection module. The equipment is also supported by sophisticated and easy-to-use software tools. This means for the project engineer and the operating staff an easy and clear handling of the electrical installation and final implementation and the subsequent operation and maintenance of the system.

When reading codes on parcels or other objects that are transported on belt or roller conveyors, it is common that the code is presented to the reader in all possible orientations. SICK’s Omni-Portal-Systems (OPS) provide a reliable, omni-directional code reading. As required for the application, specially configured tunnel systems are available for single-side and multi-side reading situations. Wherever the code, the SICK system will catch it.
