Advanced Barcode Reading

You need a partner who understands what’s possible nowadays in the world of barcode reading—someone with deep skillsets, accessible, and not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all things barcode reading. From barcode grading on glass to the most complex label reads you can imagine, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. The wide variety of grading and validation specifications out there. For example, ISO/IEC 15415, AIAG B-17 and ANSI X3.182 standards.
2. Specialty lighting techniques such as multi-spectral lighting to optimally expose text and barcodes
3. Utilizing the latest in AI and deep learning
4. Multi-barcode recognition and data parsing techniques
5. The latest trends in the print, barcode and general machine vision technologies

Common pitfalls of print and marking inspection systems that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Ambient lighting can impact readability
2. Not considering what to do thoroughly enough when a defect is found
3. Not grading and using high end systems to read and not considering that downstream low-tech systems will be used to read

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued barcode inspection projects before, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make advanced barcode reading systems successful.

Our machine vision solutions start with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in machine vision. You want a bespoke custom machine vision solution tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom machine vision system can get built and you can get that win.
