| CCD Camera Gives High-Speed Decoding at a Low Price
|
|
Accu-Sort Systems, Inc. introduces the AccuVision HandsFree(TM) CCD camera and
decoder that offer a low-cost solution and allow for greater processing rates in
applications where packages are now scanned by hand. CCD technology meets the
needs of demanding high-speed hand sortation applications. With a first pass
read rate of more than 99 percent (compared to 90-96 percent for lasers),
HandsFree provides the accuracy of a camera at the price of a laser scanner,
while increasing product throughput. Quick set-up and low maintenance enable
HandsFree to provide the lowest total cost of ownership of any bar code scanning
option.
HandsFree is Accu-Sort's smallest linear and 2D reader with a
footprint that easily fits on a production line or hand picking area, providing
the coverage needed to accommodate a variety of products without having to
relocate the camera. HandsFree also has a large depth of field, which is ideal
for hand induction.
The AccuVision HandsFree camera system, when combined
with the AccuVision decoder for Mid-Range Cameras, incorporates robust decode
software that reads 2D and linear bar codes on stationary or moving objects. The
decode software and integrated LED illumination ensure that HandsFree delivers
the best possible read rates even on poor contrast and damaged bar codes in
any orientation.
User-friendly browser based setup and interface software
allows for quick and easy installation. The HandsFree camera's unique laser
targeting system enables the operator to easily find the bar code reading "sweet
spot" that ensures seamless decodes. The decoder can differentiate between codes
in the camera's field of view or decode multiple codes simultaneously. The
output message format can be modified to meet the requirements of any network.
The decoder communicates results to the system using on-board Ethernet TCP/IP,
serial connections or user programmable I/O. HandsFree is a true plug-and-play
device. It sets up in less than 20 minutes, compared to 60 minutes for laser
systems. Replacement takes less than five minutes.
"With the HandsFree
camera, there is never the need to pick up a hand scanner again," said Mike
Bosha, Accu-Sort product manager. "We have seen throughput increase by 50
percent in many applications because operators do not need to pause to hand scan
an item."
HandsFree has no external fans or filters, and requires
maintenance only once a year, compared to two to four times a year for lasers.
It also has a longer life than lasers, reducing the cost of ownership over the
product's life. HandsFree is a cost-effective scanning solution for a variety of
industries, including parcel/package distribution, retail/wholesale distribution
and manufacturing.
The AccuVision decoder ships with Accu-Sort's advanced
control and diagnostic software, AXCESS(TM) for AccuVision CamerasĀ®, a web-based
application that allows anyone with a computer and an internet browser to set up
and configure the decoder. AXCESS saves configuration parameters for both the
camera and decoder. Parameters can also be conveniently stored on a USB memory
stick. When the memory stick is inserted in the decoder, the parameters are
automatically downloaded from or uploaded to the camera and decoder. It operates
remotely using a network connection or locally via a keyboard/monitor connected
to the decoder. AXCESS also provides extensive diagnostic capabilities, image
viewing and image analysis tools.
