Cognex Corporation is the world’s leading provider of vision systems, vision software, vision sensors, industrial ID readers and surface inspection systems used in manufacturing automation.

Vision: Cognex vision helps companies improve product quality, eliminate production errors, lower manufacturing costs, and exceed consumer expectations for high quality products at an affordable price. Typical applications for machine vision include detecting defects, monitoring production lines, guiding assembly robots, and tracking, sorting and identifying parts.

ID: Cognex offers the most advanced technology available for 1D barcode and for 2D Data Matrix code reading. Regardless of the size, quality, printing method, or surface the codes are marked on, we can read it! Combined with the best performing hardware on the market, in both handheld and fixed-mount reader formats, Cognex can successfully read codes that other readers cannot. As a result, image-based readers are rapidly replacing laser scanners in a wide range of manufacturing and logistics applications.

DataMan 500 Supercharged ID performance for factory automation:

DataMan 500 is an advanced, fixed-mount barcode reader that combines the benefits of image-based readers with the ease-of-use and cost of laser scanners. It reads barcodes at twice the speed of other readers (up to 90 codes per second) and reads codes so well that it doesn’t have to be positioned optimally to achieve high read rates.

OmniView Cylindrical Package Inspection System High speed 360° inspection:

The Cognex OmniView® system delivers high speed inspection and identification of labels and lids on un-oriented cylindrical products such as cans, bottles, jars and vials. The unique multi-camera 3D modeling technology inspects products at any orientation without having to slow your line… at up to 1200 parts per minute! A color option allows you to check label graphics and bottle contents, while high resolution cameras help you to check tall, thin bottles from base to neck in a single field of view.
