An Easy Read, An Easy Choice
Cognex offers the most advanced technology available for 1-D barcode and for 2-D Data Matrix code reading. Regardless of the barcode symbology, size, quality, printing method, or surface the codes are marked on, we can read it!
Combined with the best performing hardware on the market, in both handheld and fixed-mount reader formats, Cognex can successfully read codes that other readers cannot. As a result, image-based readers are rapidly replacing laser scanners in a wide range of manufacturing and logistics applications.
Two powerful Cognex patented algorithms, 1DMax+™ and 2DMax+™, provide the most advanced solutions in barcode software available for reading virtually every type of barcode symbology, every time, with unsurpassed read rates.
For 1-D barcodes
1DMax+ is our best-in-class reading tool optimized for omnidirectional barcode reading that can handle extreme variations. When paired with Hotbars™ technology, even damaged codes can be read quickly.
