BARCODE labelling automation specialist Cobalt Systems has expanded its collaboration with Zebra Technologies as an industrial automation partner for Zebra’s new fixed industrial scanning and machine vision portfolio.
Cobalt said the move enables track and trace capabilities and quality inspection of manufacturing work in process in the UK.
Chris Hunt, sales director, Cobalt Systems, said, “We’ve enjoyed great success in the industrial automation arena and this new range of machine vision and fixed industrial scanners gives us a great opportunity to grow these solutions further in a market in which Cobalt holds a great level of expertise.”
Zebra’s suite of machine vision smart cameras and fixed industrial scanners is unlocked by Zebra Aurora, a software platform that can deploy and run both cameras and scanners. They can inspect production lines and product movement processes to improve quality in manufacturing, warehouse and logistics environments.
Chris Hunt added, “As automation has evolved, in e-commerce as well as more traditional packaging lines, we are increasingly seeing multiple products and pallets going through single gates creating a demand for reliable product identification and sortation.”
