Barcode reading is essential to any track-and-trace initiative. Most products contain a unique serial number in the form of 1D or 2D barcodes, which allow them to be tracked and traced as they move through the supply chain from production to the end user. Documenting this chain of custody throughout the product lifecycle makes it possible to verify the location of products and retrieve them in the case of a recall.
Cognex products allow companies to optimize the decoding process, increase system performance, and improve communications. Cognex’s image-based barcode readers offer industry-leading 99.9% read rates and industrial connectivity to keep pace with mark-and-read machines’ high speeds and throughput levels. Cognex offers both off-the-shelf and OEM barcode reading solutions that can be specified directly into track-and-trace systems.
