In response to logistics operators’ ever-increasing demands to move at higher speeds, the Lector850 image-based code reader has been developed to enhance tunnel systems.
A member of the Lector family of vision technology, the reader enables operators to increase automation and streamline package handling capabilities within their logistics processes. As a result, they can move at higher speeds on a more consistent basis.
By boosting operation speed, productivity can improve. This rise in speed and productivity is primarily due to the reader’s high-resolution camera. Conveyor belts can move faster than before. And since the reader provides high read rates, operators can consistently process more shipments.
Company Product Description
Increasing throughput with the latest vision technology for logistics and fulfillment centers
Tunnel scanning is at the forefront of technology available to optimize processes in distribution and fulfillment centers. Increasing throughput is made simpler with fast and accurate package tracking and sorting within ecommerce and logistics applications. Within a track and trace tunnel system, intelligent vision technology is essential to maintaining such a high and accurate throughput.
Higher Speed, Same Degree of Accuracy
As the demand and pressure on logistics operators to move at a higher speed than ever before continues, SICK has created a new image-based code reader that enhances tunnel systems. The Lector850 is the latest scanner in SICK’s Lector family of vision technology that will help to further boost automation and streamline package handling within logistics processes.
When used within a tunnel system, such as the ICR System that SICK offers, high-speed throughput not seen using other vision technology is possible. This is because the Lector850 can operate at higher speeds than comparable products on the market.
Though it is operating at a higher speed, the Lector850 still provides a high degree of optical performance, speed, and resolution. It provides the highest read rates and enables you to process more shipments each day.
In addition, you’ll see a great improvement in your throughput to move more boxes through the facility. This is mostly due to the ability to speed up your conveyors, moving items faster through the tunnel, even when they are placed closely together. Have small gaps on the conveyor? Not a problem with SICK’s superior tracking capabilities. This allows your packages to be closer together without causing read conflicts, giving confidence that package data is correct and reducing the mis-sort occurrences. The Lector850’s high-read frequency and broad depth of field, enables you to capture things moving more quickly.
