A first for logistics The Barcode Reader Camera utilises accurate barcode recognition, for multiple parcels in one frame, and tracking. AI-powered barcode label detection on the monochrome channel, including for high-speed conveyors, enables operators to find labels efficiently and with ease. The solution also includes WiseBCR, a pre-installed barcode application that supports real-time barcode information and history. The sensors for barcode recognition and video monitoring offer 4K resolution for clear imagery. The 16, 25 or 35mm lens provides a wide field of view that suits a variety of logistics environments. In addition, the global shutter function, available on both channels, captures distortion-free images of high-speed moving objects such as parcels on conveyor belts. As a single device, the unit reduces installation and maintenance costs. In contrast, conventional systems require barcode readers and video surveillance cameras to be installed as separate systems. As a result, the Barcode Reader Camera boosts operator efficiency and incident investigation speed as managers can check location, time and footage details of parcels and events in a single system instead of using separate systems. Furthermore, the device is highly durable with protection against dust, shock and vibration thanks to IP66/67 and IK10 ratings and M12 connectors. The complete logistics solution The Barcode Reader Camera forms the foundation of a comprehensive logistics solution, in combination with Hanwha Vision software and hardware solutions. It seamlessly integrates with Hanwha Vision’s innovative Vision Logistics Tracking Software (VLTS), a platform that provides full overview of operations. In addition, packing video management, part of VLTS, integrates third-party handheld scanners making it a useful tool for fulfilment centres. Through the system, logistics managers are empowered to achieve new levels of productivity, cost-efficiency and safety while reducing damage and theft. “As a global vision solution provider, Hanwha Vision’s technologies are relied on by a number of the world’s leading logistics and package delivery service companies,” said John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product and Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe. “Having the first Dual-Lens Barcode Reader Camera showcases Hanwha Vision’s commitment to innovation and ability to deliver market-specific solutions that help our customers to maximise productivity, reduce costs, and achieve their business goals.”
