Cognex Offers 2DMax Technology For Barcode Readers

Cognex Corporation has integrated advanced 2DMax+ code reading software technology into the compact DataMan100 and 200 fixed-mount barcode readers. With 2DMax+, the readers can identify and decode severely damaged or poorly marked 2D matrix codes.

Carl Gerst, vice president and business unit manager, ID products, says, “Following the success of 2DMax+ in the advanced DataMan 300 and 500 series of fixed position barcode readers, we are now delivering it to end users who need a smaller form factor. This functionality is especially helpful in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging sectors. Barcode reading in these industries is often challenging due to poor print quality, varying part sizes, curved surfaces and labels damaged by environmental factors or supply chain activity. 2DMax+ helps these users achieve the highest reading yields and maximize throughput.”
