Cognex DataMan readers employ the combination of 1DMax with Hotbars and 2DMax with PowerGrid algorithms to accurately recognize one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes printed on labels or directly etched onto circuit boards via laser engraving. Leveraging the full potential of machinery requires reliable code identification capabilities provided by Cognex vision systems. Additionally, they offer Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and character verification (OCV) functions, allowing serial number recognition for circuit boards and expensive components, or extracting additional information not included in original barcode tags.
