Good news: Cognex launches DataMan 475V online barcode verifier

     Good news, on April 14, 2020, Cognex announced the launch of the DataMan 475V online barcode verifier . DataMan 475V can provide enterprises with code scanning services that comply with the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and can provide reliable code verification and quality reports for one-dimensional barcodes, two-dimensional codes, and DPM codes.

“To prevent product waste, chargebacks and customer churn, code verification is critical to ensuring high code quality throughout the supply chain,” said Carl Gerst, senior vice president and ID product group manager at Cognex. “The DataMan475V can Automate code verification to ensure high-quality code reading in the production process.”

01 Advantage 1: Verification on high-speed production lines without sacrificing analytical capabilities

DataMan 475V has the following immediate quality assurance advantages:

▪ Provide alerts when barcode quality starts to deteriorate

▪Grading up to 20 barcodes per second

▪Export verification results to PLC, database or FTP server in CSV, HTML, PDF or custom formats

▪ Detailed analysis and diagnostic information for each barcode to help improve processes

02 Advantage 2: Obtain compliance verification results

The DataMan 475V four-quadrant 45-degree illuminated accessory meets International Standards Organization (ISO) requirements for graded 1D and 2D label codes. The built-in calibration card and reliable grading algorithm ensure that the DataMan 475V provides accurate and repeatable results while complying with ISO and application standards.

03 Advantage 3: Automatically generate barcode quality data and reports

DataMan 475V barcode verification software provides intuitive diagnostic information to help identify one-time or trending barcode quality issues. It assigns an overall grade to the code based on measurements of ISO-defined quality parameters. These parameters evaluate multiple factors that affect a barcode reader's ability to recognize and decode barcodes, thereby maximizing read rates for downstream processes.

Whether used for real-time diagnostics, saving results for traceability and compliance, or aggregating for statistical analysis, Dataman 475V provides the data richness and flexibility you need to ensure barcode quality.
