Compact camera reads barcodes and 2D codes

Handling and data acquisition in a single movement

Recording barcodes as well as 2D codes and, at the same time, handling goods with both hands: the compact camera VICAMsnap! from VITRONIC makes it possible. VICAMsnap! is installed above the workstation and reads codes while the goods are continuously processed. Reading with the VICAMsnap! saves time, additional materials handling and increases the productivity of the employees.
No matter if the goods are being sorted, picked or stored: The compact camera VICAMsnap! reads barcodes fully automatically and provides images for archiving. The operator can move the goods below the camera even with high speeds. The reading field has a width of 30 cm, a depth of 30 cm and a height of 38 cm. This means, the operator has both hands free for handling the goods. The reading takes place continuously and fully automatically; manual triggering is no longer required.
Each second that can be saved with the VICAMsnap! for data acquisition increases the productivity of the employees. This, in turn, results in saving potentials with respect to reading stations and additional materials handling. Thus, the camera amortizes within a very short time.
The compact camera VICAMsnap! consists of a high-performance camera, white, long-term LED illumination, aiming device, loudspeaker, status display and an integrated decoder unit. This lightweight system can be easily and rapidly installed and put into operation by the user. The reading results are displayed and output via an interface. The operator can receive an optical or acoustic instruction (Pick-by-voice/Sort-by-voice). And finally, the image is output via an interface.
