Cognex High-Speed Vision Tunnels combined with DataMan 580 Barcode Reader Boost Throughput for Logistics Facilities

Cognex Corporation released the DataMan 580 fixed-mount barcode reader, designed for five- and six-sided Modular Vision Tunnels.

The new logistics tunnel solution gives an edge to companies that want to increase sortation throughput and decrease processing times for e-commerce and store fulfillment. All tunnels are pre-configured with pre-built reader modules and can be set up within a day, greatly minimising downtime and delivering fast ROI at inbound, outbound, and sortation areas.

The DataMan 580 barcode reader optimises logistics processes by enabling higher-speed operations while improving traceability. Patented algorithms simultaneously decode multiple 1D and 2D codes at top line speeds while the nine-megapixel area scan imager enables greater field-of-view.

In contrast to linear scanning systems, the DataMan 580 ensures more robust code reading by deciphering high-perspective labels on irregular objects. The system's innovative HDR+ imaging algorithm significantly reduces exposure times needed for high-resolution images, delivering crisp, clear images even in low-contrast environments.
