The In-Sight vision system, combined with OCRMax technology, can detect the presence or absence of dates and batch codes, and verify the correctness of their alphanumeric chains. For demanding OCR applications, including DPM text that is laser marked, dot peened or chemically etched, Cognex AI OCR tools ensure accurate reading and verification of barcodes. These tools can use OCR and character verification (OCV) to decode deformed, skewed and poorly etched characters. A pre-trained omnidirectional font library can recognize most text without the need to design additional programs or font training.
