Overview
Efficient sorting of objects at the highest conveyor speeds
The ICR (image-based code reader) track and trace system is the ideal identification solution for sorting processes at the highest conveyor speeds. The cubic and irregular shipping objects to be sorted are quickly and reliably identified while all common 1D/2D codes as well as postal codes are taken into account. The excellent image quality of the integrated camera also enables use in OCR, video coding and vision applications. The system can be used for thin conveyor widths as well as for widths of up to 1,600 mm and can be expanded to include products such as a volume measurement system.

Additional functionalities
Reliable object verification
The 2D/3D Vision Solutions from SICK offer an additional functionality for any system with an ICR camera. The additional information about the object and label are collected directly within the camera, in parallel to code reading and image acquisition. This enables manual processes to be automated and ensures a reliable object verification in dynamic processes.
