Code Readers

Industrial Technology Systems Ltd (ITS) offers a range of solutions for verifying the quality of the codes, reading 1D and 2D codes and performing DoD validation. 

With product traceability and Direct Part Mark Identification becoming increasingly important to the aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, medical device, electronics and food & beverage industries, the need for codes or RFID to identify and track the parts or products is critical.

As a Cognex Partner Systems Integrator, ITS offers code reader solutions based on Cognex’s DataMan 7500 series. DataMan is the industry leading hand held code reader, capable of reading the most challenging 1D and 2D codes as well as the easiest codes. With a DataMan reader and IDMax, a 2D reading software, ITS’ engineers can handle significant degradations in the quality of the codes.  

ITS also offers a range of Cognex In-Sight fixed mount code readers. The In-Sight code readers handle low contrast, poorly formed codes and can read up to 7200 parts per minute. If a part or product has broad variations in size, orientation and appearance it may be difficult for a vision sensor to read the code. ITS’ engineers overcome these difficulties by using Cognex’s IDMax, a powerful software tool which handles lighting variations, distortion, changes in surfaces as well as dirt and dust. 

ITS can collate the real-time data from the code readers into a vision tracking system. The location facts from a vision tracking system can be the basis for scheduling activity, quality investigations and achieving accurate traceability, faster responses to quality issues and improvements in customer satisfaction and brand protection.

ITS has extensive experience in Direct Part Mark Identification (DPMI), the industry standard for marking products and in implementing automotive code readers. Recent projects have been undertaken for Dunlop Tyres, Nissan and TRW Automotive.

ITS has extensive experience in configuring the following code readers:
