Able to be configured and operating in under 1 hr, scalable solution offers centralized system-configuration management to let users know status of all system devices. It also provides level of fault tolerance for device integration. Various automatic data-collection devices are supported, including bar code scanners and RFID devices.

Software monitors and diagnoses sortation systems.
Nov 16 2007- Providing real-time performance data for laser and camera product lines, FAST Monitor(TM) v1.1 enables distribution center warehouse maintenance managers to maximize package throughput and minimize downtime. Program is based on SQL database and runs in Linux® environment. Data is presented in form of web page accessible through Microsoft® Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® browser. Authorized users can access FAST Monitor data anywhere worldwide.

Long Range Camera System has all-in-one networking scheme.
Oct 24 2007- Designed for 1D and 2D bar code reading as well as OCR and video coding applications, AV6010 integrates camera, illumination, decoder, and power supplies into single unit. Internal network eliminates downtime caused by camera failure, and modular design facilitates maintenance with plug-and-play component replacement. Equipped with Auto Configuration Wizard, camera-based scanning solution offers HTML user interface and 3 built-in CPU expansion slots for upgrades.

Software unlocks access to critical automation system data.
Sep 14 2007- Operated via Web-based interface, FAST Suite Enterprise(TM) provides real-time access to critical operational data from automated materials handling systems. Solution can be loaded on PC workstation or file server and can support single production line as well as fully automated manufacturing or distribution center. Accessible from any Internet-accessible location, software delivers secure access and supports unlimited simultaneously hosted user sessions.

Bar Code Scanner reads high-density bar codes.
Sep 5 2006- Multiple laser, omni directional Axiom X(TM) reads high density bar codes at rates to 1,120 scans/sec. Bar code reader provides serial, Ethernet TCP/IP, UDP, and EtherNet/IP(TM) connectivity and can be networked using client/controller configuration. Installation is facilitated by utilizing modular scan head, wiring base, and parameter storage module, and included AXCESS(TM) software enables configuration and monitoring of readers from anywhere in facility.

CCD Camera works in hand-scanned decoding applications.
Jul 26 2006- Able to fit on production line or hand picking area, AccuVision® HandsFree(TM) CCD camera and decoder offers first pass read rate of over 99%. Its decode software reads 2D and linear bar codes on stationary or moving objects. Along with integrated LED illumination, product features laser targeting system and browser-based setup and interface software. Decoder can differentiate between codes in camera's field of view or decode multiple codes simultaneously.

Camera and Decoder offer 99% read rate.
May 24 2006- Suited for sorting or other material handling applications, plug-and-play MiniCam(TM) CMOS Camera features integrated LED illumination and flexible connectivity to host systems. Paired with AccuVision decoder, MiniCam delivers real-time decoding of 1D bar codes and 2D symbologies. Camera provides coverage to accommodate variety of package shapes and sizes on production line, while multiple heads per decoder enable multi-sided reading of packages.

Software discovers potential problems in sortation systems.
May 17 2006- FAST Monitor(TM) monitors and diagnoses potential issues that affect scanners in sortation systems, enabling distribution center warehouse maintenance managers to optimize package throughput. Designed for Auto ID market, maintenance and engineering tool provides real-time performance data that enables identification and diagnosis of problems from any location in as little as 5 sec. Data is presented in form of Web page, accessible through Internet Explorer® or Mozilla® browser.

Bar Code Scanner performs up to 1,120 scans per second.
Mar 30 2006- Housed in modular enclosure, AXIOM-X(TM) omnidirectional laser reader can replace multiple scanners used to cover larger read areas; multiple units may be networked via client/controller configuration. Plug-in scan head with 2 or 4 lasers and receiving optics ensure constant scanning and focusing over complete depth of field. Included AXCESS(TM) software enables product configuration and offers full function laser trigger control as well as DRX® decoding technology.

Camera System performs root-cause analysis of no-reads.
Jun 3 2005- Long-range camera and decoder, AV40002.0, is available with VisionCapture module, which helps analyze packages that are not read by scanners. If box goes under camera and camera gets no-read result, image is sent to VisionCapture's image depot server (IDS) for long-term capture and saving of images from camera. System can save 10 back-to-back no-read images at 600 ft/min, offers up to 1 Tb image data storage space, and can be tied to dimensioner.
