microscan Barcode inspection by machine visionMicroscan, a global technology leader in barcode, machine vision and lighting solutions, has introduced a low-cost solution for companies in need of highspeed inline barcode verification. The AutoVISION product suite, including compact smart cameras and machine vision software, offers a robust means to verify the quality both 1D and 2D barcodes against industry standards.

Unreadable barcodes can lead to process inefficiencies and downtime associated with re-labelling, re-scanning, or manual data entry. High quality, readable barcodes are a requirement in many vendor contracts. Inline verification with machine vision addresses this issue with quality inspection that is more reliable random sampling, and can also be used to detect printer faults before unreadable codes become problematic. Industry barcode quality standards such as ISO 15415 are used for verifying 1D and 2D barcodes that are printed or marked directly onto a part (DPM). Microscan’s AutoVISION™ software includes 1D and 2D Symbol Quality Verification tools to evaluate the quality of each barcode against industry standards, and ensure that every product is processed and shipped with high quality barcodes for cradle-to-grave traceability and overall process efficiency.
