Sensor specialist SICK is launching an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) version of its Lector 620 scanner for packaging applications, making combined alphanumeric character and barcode reading, quality-checking and matching, faster, simpler and more reliable than was previously possible. The Lector 620 OCR combines Optical Character Reading, Optical Character Verification, 2D and barcode reading in a single device. It delivers outstanding reading capability with ease of set-up in a compact, competitively-priced sensor. Using machine vision-based technology can be a vital weapon in the battle to ensure pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and FMCG products leave the factory with alphanumeric labelling information fully readable, matches the product’s barcode and is fully traceable.
