Fixed Scanners / Machine Vision

Fixed barcode readers streamline workflows through intelligent automation. Instead of requiring different hardware and software for each application, this product line combines machine vision and scanning capabilities into a single solution. With flexible solutions, it is easier for both value-added distributors and system integrators to develop and deploy applications for their industrial customers. Even if you are a small or medium-sized industrial company, you are now able to realize the many benefits of industrial automation. In addition, you are much more independent from the manufacturer's technical support teams to implement the solutions. The most outstanding features of machine vision and stationary barcode readers are:

• faster product manufacturing
• less production errors
• improved quality control throughout the supply chain
• reduced personnel costs
• faster inbound/outbound order processing
• more efficiency in sorting and shipping
• greater customer satisfaction

• better product tracking and traceability

The generic term "industrial image processing" or "machine vision" covers a variety of technologies. These include imagers, intelligent cameras, sensors and more. Machine vision provides data and imagery that gives industrial companies greater visibility into physical operations.

The new solutions are intuitive and based on a software-defined approach. Both machine vision and fixed barcode readers with the same hardware are supported. Now you only need to invest in a single software platform to manage multiple operations. In addition, this single platform can provide upgrade capabilities from a simple scanning solution to highly sophisticated machine vision solutions.

Zebra offers a software-defined, easily upgradable solution that cost-effectively supports machine vision and fixed barcode readers on a single platform.
