The areas of application for code readers in optical identification range from product tracking and product control to product identification.

The sensors recognise 1D and 2D codes regardless of the rotational position and the position of the code in the sensor’s field of view. Even damaged or dirty codes are reliably identified.

To do this, it solves text recognition tasks using character recognition (OCR), for example, for product identification based on type codes or serial numbers.

Depending on the product version, codes and texts can be easily recognised on a wide variety of backgrounds regardless of colour, texture and gloss thanks to the use of different images.
