The BVS-E Identification is as simple and fast to use as a normal photoelectric sensor, and easy to integrate into an application thanks to compact dimensions. A PLC can be used to easily switch between different inspections, and function modules for various controllers are available from Balluff.

Printed character and number sequences such as Batch Numbers or Expiry Dates can be verified using optical character verification (OCV). The result of the inspection is indicated on the output as an OK or NOK signal.
