The DataMan 503, which expands the company’s line of logistics barcode readers, is an area scan image-based system that reduces manual handling of packages, which means lower costs for customers.  It is particularly well-suited for applications that have high speeds, wide belt widths, or large variations in package height. Key DataMan 503 applications include: high-speed sortation; multi-sided tunnel scanning; and large format presentation scanning.

The DataMan 503 includes all of the DataMan barcode reader including:  Proprietary Cognex Hotbars image-analysis technology, which provides high read rates of 1-D barcodes, including those that are damaged, distorted, blurred, scratched, low height or low contrast; the ability to analyze “no reads” by letting the user see what the reader sees, either live on a monitor or through image archiving; designed with no moving parts that can wear out and require repair; and ease of setup and installation.
