Fixed-mount barcode readers deliver superior read performance for the broadest range of applications.

Strict industry regulations require cigarette manufacturers to ensure end-to-end tobacco traceability. Each cigarette or e-cigarette pack must contain a unique code that includes manufacturer, date and lot information, and contents. This information is stored in a database for regulatory compliance and authentication, and to track and trace the product from production line to retail distribution.

Laser printed DotCode or Data Matrix symbologies are typically located on the side of the cigarette packs, which are moving along a conveyer at high speed. These codes contain between 30 and 50 digits that must be read at close range. The code print quality can become degraded over time affecting readability. Cigarette packs with codes that cannot be read are rejected from the line and either scrapped or manually reworked, impacting the manufacturer with additional labor costs or reduced revenue.
