Leading barcode, machine vision and lighting solutions technology company Microscan is to host a ‘webinar’ on ‘Ensuring Readable Codes with Machine Vision Verification’ at 11:00 CEST (Amsterdam) on Thursday 25 April 2013.
A second session will be held later on the same day, at 19:00 CEST. The presentation and live question and answer session are free to attend.
Webinar presenter Nico Hooiveld, Microscan’s machine vision product manager, explains: “Unreadable barcodes can cause disruptions to an automated process, and may require re-labelling, re-scanning, or even manual entry of critical information by a human operator.
“Once outside of the factory, illegible barcodes can lead to traceability problems in the supply chain, causing rejected product shipments and unhappy customers."
Verification, adds Hooiveld, ensures that “no product will leave the factory without a readable code”.
During the webinar, Hooiveld will cover the impact that quality barcodes have on a company’s automated processes and demonstrate how machine vision systems can be employed to ensure reliable code legibility.
He will also discuss requirements for setting up a barcode verification system and tools that can be used to evaluate a barcode’s quality against published standards such as ISO 15415, ISO 15416, and AIM DPM.
Microscan recently added several new tools to its AutoVISION machine vision software, including a 1D and 2D barcode verification tool to ensure consistent code quality in automated processes and throughout the supply chain.
Registration for the April 25th webinar is available on the Microscan website.
