Nearly every product uses a 1-D or 2-D barcode to automate and simplify identification and data capture. Organizations need to read codes quickly and accurately for maximum efficiency. That’s where Cognex comes in. Cognex DataMan fixed-mount barcode readers deliver unmatched 1-D and 2-D code reading performance. These industrial workhorses decode 1-D and 2-D codes—from printed labels to the most difficult-to-read direct part mark (DPM) codes—and deliver industry-leading 99.9% read rates. That’s why the DataMan 70, 150/260, 360, and 503 Series have become trusted in factory automation and logistics operations around the world.
But to solve complex, high-throughput manufacturing and logistics applications, a new kind of reader is needed with even greater performance. The new DataMan 470 Series fixed-mount barcode reader offers multi-core processing power, new patent-pending HDR+ imaging technology, a high-resolution sensor, advanced decoding algorithms, and simple installation for maximum coverage, speed, and ease of use.
Fast, powerful performance solves challenging applications
The DataMan 470 barcode reader features seven powerful processing cores, allowing it to execute multiple algorithms and processes simultaneously at astonishing speeds. It reads challenging 1D and 2D codes in various locations, as well as multiple mixed symbologies simultaneously while maintaining the highest decoding speeds.
New imaging technology for advanced imaging
HDR+ is an advanced patent-pending algorithm that extends the boundaries of HDR technology by automatically increasing local contrast changes further. This creates a more uniform image in a single acquisition, allowing for greater depth of field, faster line rates, and improved handling of difficult codes
99.9% read rates for optimal throughput and traceability
The DataMan 470 Series is optimized with patented technologies and advanced algorithms to ensure consistently high read rates of 1-D and 2-D symbologies, regardless of size, quality, printing method or surface.
Modular options provide maximum flexibility
The DataMan 470's innovative design with modular lighting, lens and communication options adapts to solve any barcode reading application.
Performance feedback
The DataMan 470 Series features Gigabit Ethernet for fast, full-resolution image transfer to help identify the root cause of unread codes. Real Time Monitoring (RTM) technology provides performance feedback for the DataMan 470 in easy-to-use dashboards to aid in process optimization.
