Barcode / RFID / Vision
Barcode / RFID / Vision Products

Barcode / RFID / Vision products are devices that identify a unique item, type of item, or code and convert this information into useful data. Examples of identification devices are barcode scanners, RFID R/W devices, and vision systems. Mounting systems are available for many types of devices.

Barcode / RFID / Vision

Category Selection

  • Device Mounting Systems

With the ever-increasing pace of manufacturing processes and the logistics needed for on-time and accurate delivery, asset management with real-time inventory levels and product tracking has become a vital component of industrial automation. Identification systems are used to identify and track a product or part as it moves through the manufacturing and/or delivery process. This added visibility provides many benefits, including:

  • Real-time data on the complete production process, from start to finish, providing insight into process improvements
  • Efficient management and control of important assets
  • Accurate tracking to ensure the right part/product gets to the right place
  • Quickly locating products with quality issues in order to remedy the situation effectively

The three main types of technology used in industrial identification are RFID, vision systems, and optical identification, with barcode scanners and RFID devices being the most prevalent.

  • Barcode scanners are optical code-reading systems that will recognize coded labels placed on products/parts. They provide a reliable means of product tracking where a clear, direct line of site exists between the scanner and label.
  • For applications where there is no direct line of sight, where a greater amount of identification data is required, or where the stored ID data needs to be changed frequently, RFID systems should be employed.
  • To check the quality of a finished product or verify an object's alignment, vision sensors can compare a real-time captured image of a product to the taught data and determine if the product passes or fails inspection.

Barcode Scanners

Barcode Scanners

Barcode scanners allow a code, such as a 1-dimensional barcode, 2-dimensional QR code or other non-human-readable code to be read, decoded and converted to a usable format. This code is then sent to an intelligent device such as a PLC or PC over a communications network. A selection of Code, ifm efector, and Datalogic brand scanners is available to read barcodes for specific applications

  • General or rugged duty handheld barcode scanners
  • General duty table-top barcode scanner
  • Machine mount barcode scanners
  • Corded and cordless models available
  • Accessories

RFID Devices

RFID Devices

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) devices use radio frequencies to read and transmit data. This technology can be used to identify and track objects as they travel through an automated process. RFID Read-Write modules exchange data with RFID tags, affixed to the objects, that contain identifying information. The RFID Read-Write units can also communicate with an intelligent device, such as a PLC or computer, over a network such as IO-Link or EtherNet/IP.

  • RFID Read-Write modules
  • RFID tags

Newest Additions!

  • di-soric S-mount lens cameras with interchangeable lenses

Vision systems incorporate an object detection sensor, a camera or cameras, and lighting to produce digital images of products/objects that can be analyzed to guide the manufacturing process.

Vision sensors detect variances in products/objects by comparing the current image of the product/object with the satisfactory stored image to determine a "pass/fail" or "good/no good" result.

Fixed mount lens cameras provide simple and reliable image-based detection used for error-proofing and inspection applications.

S-Mount lens cameras use a standard M12 lens for interchangeability. These offer more features when compared to the the fixed mount lens cameras.

3D vision sensors measure the distance of many points within the field of view, providing accurate object size, orientation, and position information.
