Fixed Position/2D Scanners

No question: 2D codes are the future!

In the future, the systematic use of 2D codes will help ensure reliable ID verification, parts tracking, and variant production control.

In automation technology, cost-driving-parts must be avoided: high-performance scanners and compact 2D codes with high information density are the only solution. The combination of innovative coding and identification methods also offers effective protection against counterfeiting, another major issue with which com-panies will increasingly be confronted.

In addition, compact 2D codes are an efficient means of fulfilling increasingly stringent requirements regarding quality.

Scanning codes before and after each production phase allows parts to be traced back to suppliers or batches, which not only significantly reduces product recall charges if any faults occur later on, but also ensures that spare parts can be ordered more quickly and repairs carried out more easily.

Variant production control ultimately depends on highly flexible production lines with distributed target control, whereby production, assembly, and test programs must be correctly assigned. Using 2D codes ensures that flexible assembly lines can be reliably controlled and synchronizes the as-signment of module variants to the main assembly line.

Thanks to their high information den-sity, 2D codes have a wide variety of applications and enable you to respond to the challenges of tomorrow.
