1 Back to Basics: Introduction to Industrial Barcode Reading 1

2 Agenda What is a barcode? History 1 D codes Types and terminology 2 D codes Types and terminology Marking Methods Laser Scanning Image Based Reading Hardware and Software Communication How to select a reader Cognex Corporation

3 What is barcode reading? A barcode is a machine readable representation of data related to the object it is attached to. A barcode reader is used to read these codes in order to track the object throughout its lifecycle Cognex Corporation

4 Where are barcodes used? The first product to ever be scanned was in By the 1980s, scanning for retail became worldwide. Today, codes can be both 1 D and 2 D. Where can I find barcodes? Cognex Corporation

5 Where are barcodes used? Food Packaging Medical & Pharmaceutical Electronics 5 Automotive Aerospace Cognex Corporation

6 1 D Barcodes Different types Industry terminology Common uses Cognex Corporation

7 Common 1 D Barcode Types UPC A Code 39 Code 128 Interleaved 2 of 5 7 Codabar Pharmacode Cognex Corporation

8 Linear Barcode Terminology Quiet Zone Guard Pattern Narrow Bar Width Cognex Corporation

9 2 D Barcodes Different types Industry terminology Marking methods Common uses Cognex Corporation

10 Common 2 D Codes DataMatrix QR Code MaxiCode Aztec Code Cognex Corporation

11 2 D Code Terminology 24 square and 6 rectangular formats 3,116 numeric or 2,335 alphanumeric characters Cell presence/absence check tolerates poor printing Error correction improves read rates Scalable Reading accuracy 1 misread error in 10.5 million scans Requires an image-based ID reader to decode Cognex Corporation

12 Printing Methods: Printed Codes 1 D and 2 D Printed Codes Inkjet Labels Most basic Cost effective Less flexible, pre determined code data Cognex Corporation

13 Marking Methods: DPM 2 D Direct Part Marking (DPM) Dot Peen Chemically Etched Laser Marked Cognex Corporation

14 Laser Scanner Technology What is it? How does it work? Benefits Limitations Cognex Corporation

15 Laser Scanning Technology Barcode Light Detector Signal Digitized Signal Cognex Corporation

16 Benefits of Laser Scanners Cost No image processor Uses oscillating mirrors Speed Fast scan rates, some up to 1300 scan/sec Decoding at long distances 6 to 24 inches away Long range can do multiple feet away Most common and longest in use Cognex Corporation

17 Limitations of Laser Scanners Hard to scan barcodes Poorly printed Defective / damaged Low contrast Specular reflections Narrow heighted Unidirectional scanning No omnidirectional (360 ) or at least orthogonal (0 and 90 ) reading Mounting and positioning constraints Moving parts are subject to failure Cannot read 2 D codes Cognex Corporation

18 Image Based Barcode Reader Technology What is it? How does it work? Pixels per module Image formation Benefits Limitations Cognex Corporation

19 Imager Based Barcode Reader Technology Cognex Corporation

20 What is the measurement PPM? (Pixels per Module) How many pixels on the sensor for each module, at a focal distance. Definition: One Module Example: Sensor 752 Pixels 480 Pixels Working Distance Lens 78 mm 12x12 Code 5mm x 5mm 50 mm Cognex Corporation

21 Image Based Barcode Reader Simple Set Up: Hardware Code size Mounting/reading distance Lens options Liquid lens technology C Mount, S Mount lens Lighting Stable Cognex Corporation

22 Image Based Barcode Readers: Liquid Lens Technology Cognex Corporation

23 Image Based Barcode Readers: Image Formation Lighting Dark ink, light background simple direct illumination DPM require more advanced lighting techniques Reader should have ideal focus settings Lens advisor: S Mount, C Mount, Liquid lens Bright Field Lighting: High contrast labels & DPM parts Dark Field Lighting: Dot Peen & laser DPM Diffuse Dome: Highly reflective & curved surface DPM reading Cognex Corporation

24 Image Based Barcode Reader Simple Set Up: Software Cognex Corporation

25 Benefits of Image Based Barcode Reader Technology No Moving Parts Solid state device Longer life than laser scanners High Read Rates Can read damaged/ properly marked codes Omnidirectional reading Image Feedback Store No Read images Find out why a code does not read Cognex Corporation

26 Limitations of Image Based Technology Cost In the past, imager processors were very expensive Speed Older readers can be slow due to less advanced processors Can be difficult to setup Software needed for some system Good image for processing Cognex Corporation

27 Communication Protocols Ethernet TCP/IP RS 232 USB Keyboard Mode Discrete I/O FTP Cognex Corporation

28 Integrating your Barcode Reader PLC Integration Ethernet/IP : Allen Bradley Add On Profile PROFINET : Siemens MC Protocol: Mitsubishi Modbus TCP : Schneider Electric Storing Data to a Database Oracle SAP: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Discrete I/O Cognex Corporation

29 What should you consider when selecting a Barcode Reader? Read rates Best algorithms to decode 1 D and 2 D codes Reduce No Reads and misreads Durability/Life of reader Solid state device, no moving parts Ease of setup User friendly software Communication Need a reader that supports your facilities protocol 99.9% VS Cognex Corporation

30 Read Rates Best in class algorithms Ability to read some of the hardest codes Codes on cardboard Codes marked with a marker Poor factory lighting Cognex Corporation

31 Read Rates Best in class algorithms DPM Codes Shiny material Poor quality codes Small Low contrast codes Cognex Corporation

32 Cognex Readers Durability/ Life of Reader Solid state readers, no moving parts Ease of Setup Easy tuning in software and hardware Liquid Lens technology Communication Supports popular industrial protocols and communication protocols Cognex Products Full line of handheld and fixed mount readers Different price & performance options Cognex Corporation
