Cognex Proprietary Technologies
Cognex offers the most advanced technology available for 1D barcode and for 2D Data Matrix code reading regardless of the barcode symbology, size, quality, printing method, or surface the codes are marked on.
1D Barcode Reading
Cognex mobile terminals provide the highest read rates for 1D barcodes handling extreme variations of code degradation with 1DMax algorithm and Hotbars image analysis technology. It reads barcodes omnidirectionally and multiple codes simultaneously.


2D Code Reading
From easy to read 2D codes on labels to challenging direct part mark (DPM) codes on chips, plastic, ceramics, glass, or metal, mobile terminals provide the most robust reading reliability for all industries with the patented 2DMax reading algorithm. It even overcomes challenges such as poor marking quality or damaged clocking patterns on codes.
