Multi-code verification in a single pass
Real-World Use Cases
How manufacturers achieve perfect code readability with Unicus Vision readers
Component Traceability on Assembly Lines
An automotive supplier needed to read DPM (Direct Part Mark) codes on metal components moving at 600 units/min while handling surface reflections and varying angles.
- Multi-angle camera array for DPM reading
- Polarized lighting to eliminate glare
- Real-time grade verification (ISO 15415)
- Integration with MES for traceability
High-Speed Parcel Sorting & Routing
A logistics hub processes 15,000 parcels/hour with mixed code types (Code 128, QR, DataMatrix) on curved, damaged, or poorly printed labels.
- AI-powered code restoration for damaged labels
- Multi-code decoding in single image
- Dynamic focus adjustment for varying distances
- Sub-10ms decode time per parcel
PCB Component Verification & Serialization
An electronics manufacturer required verification of micro QR codes (0.2mm cells) on PCBs while reading human-readable serial numbers via OCR.
- High-resolution 29MP camera for micro codes
- Deep learning OCR for varied fonts
- Correlation of code + text data
- Automatic rejection of mismatched pairs
