Vitronic Machine Vision has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to automate the manual processing of flats and small parcels from a large parcel and post customer.

 


It will provide more than 2000 VICAMsnap! Auto-ID camera units for facilities across the United States, bringing the number of fielded units for this customer to 3000 for this program. The camera systems will provide scanning and barcode decoding for all customer specific linear and 2-dimensional codes (PostNet, Planet Code, Datamatrix, PDF-417 and Intelligent Mail Barcodes), provide image capture and archiving routines, and allow the customer to provide additional tracking capabilities throughout its network. The VICAMsnap! solution replaces a previous multi-step process and will allow faster manual sorting and throughput efficiency along with improved tracking visibility.


The VICAMsnap! is a compact, lightweight camera-based solution. It has white illumination which allows for the reading and decoding of coloured barcodes and provides effective reading of damaged or poorly printed barcodes on coloured backgrounds. It provides a 12 x 10in width of field and 16in depth of field to allow operators to immediately capture all 1D and 2D barcodes present on parcels, flats and boxes.
