The stationary 1D/2D code readers, which feature high protection rating IP67, can be used for reading data matrix codes such as direct part marks (DPMs) on objects under difficult ambient conditions in an industrial environment. Thanks to its flexible lighting options, the system can be adapted to the respective application. Typical uses are product tracing, process control and checking the quality of marking in a variety of applications in the automotive, packaging, pharmaceutical, tobacco, cosmetics, electronics and food industries.
