Handheld camera scanner
March 1st 2008

A portable, handheld camera scanner has been introduced by Vitronic. Vicam-mobile enables operators to scan labels on parcels and pallets and quickly identify customer-related data.

This ensures the quick, accurate routing of parcels and means individual items are traceable.

The device reduces manual handling requirements and is said to improve parcel handling efficiency. It weighs just 800g, has ergonomic controls and is comfortable to hold.

Its high-speed, auto-focus, line-scan camera captures high resolution photographic images of parcel labels within a 300 by 300mm area. The system automatically identifies the relevant data and interprets it using optical character recognition techniques and sophisticated software. It will also read damaged or incomplete barcodes, supplier numbers and human written addresses.
