Review: VITRONIC at CeMAT exhibition 2011: Camera systems for data acquisition in Intralogistics

Wiesbaden, 12th May 2011 – VITRONIC presented camera-based Auto-ID systems at this year’s CeMAT in Hannover from 2nd to 6th May. These camera systems outmatch conventional laser scanners regarding the acquisition of customer- and object based data of goods in intralogistics.

VIPAC systems for manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic data acquisition have been presented at the booth. These systems acquire data along the entire process chain in intralogistics, i.e. in incoming goods departments, during the registering of returns, in commissioning, sorting and outgoing goods.

The VITRONIC sales people outlined the quality of the technical discussions with the booth visitors. “Sometimes, less is more. The number of visitors compared to the last exhibition in 2008 has not increased, but we had more high-level discussions about precise projects”, said Klaus-Michael Bücher, Sales and Marketing Director at VITRONIC.

VIPAC camera systems for Intralogistics: More efficiency and productivity, less expenses. VITRONC Auto-ID sytems recognize, analyse and evaluate barcodes, 2-D codes and characters (OCR) - also many different code types in one image (multi-code reading). Furthermore, important additional information such as the volume and the weight of the package can be acquired and be incorporated into connected enterprise resource planning systems or CRM-solutions and trigger ongoing processes.

The advantage of camera systems compared to conventional technologies is not only the significant higher read rate. Employees no longer have to subsequently supplement illegible data manually. This saves time and money, i.e. for manual read stations and additional conveyor technology. Acquisition processes can be accelerated, throughput times reduced and the productivity can be increased. The collected information can be evaluated and be used for process optimization. The operating costs are lowered because cameras have very long useful lives and require extremely little maintenance.

Since its foundation in 1984, VITRONIC GmbH has continued to offer machine vision systems in four main areas: Logistics, Industrial Automation, Traffic Technology and Body Scanning. Now represented on five continents, the company offers standardized and turnkey solutions for a diverse range of machine vision applications.
A series of high-end technical products are designed, developed and manufactured in-house by a highly qualified and motivated team of over 340 employees. With its state-of-the-art products, VITRONIC is a leader in this rapidly developing market.
More than half of all VITRONIC products were developed in the last five years. This is only possible through constant innovation and the creation of new solutions, and supported through constant investment in research and development.
