    PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (May 24, 2005) -- Accu-Sort(R) Systems Inc. has launched VisionCapture, an innovative system that can help customers analyze packages that aren't read by scanners.

    The module is part of Accu-Sort's newest long-range camera and decoder, the AV40002.0

    Andrew Ross, product marketing manager for Accu-Sort, said the system is the only product of its type for long-term capture and saving of images from a camera in the industry. "If a box goes under the camera and the camera gets a no-read, the image is sent to VisionCapture's image depot server (IDS). With any other solution, including lasers, you have no way of knowing why the box did not read. It could be, for example, that the boxes were stacked. Without a diagnostic tool like VisionCapture, you are not able to determine the root cause of a no-read."
