NATICK, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX) announced today that it has received
purchase orders totaling more than
$3 million from a U.S.-based designer
of logistics automation systems. The customer will integrate
Cognex
DataMan® 300 barcode readers into numerous shipping and distribution
centers for a major retailer.
"DataMan boosts productivity even in hand-sorting applications by
eliminating scanning delays that are common to laser-based readers,"
said Carl Gerst, Cognex Vice President and Business Unit Manager, ID
Products. "Operators are able to scan packages in one pass without
altering their natural motion patterns or having to ‘fish' for reads by
waving the product repeatedly under the unit."
The DataMan 300 with Hotbars™ image analysis technology offers reliable
reading of 1-D barcodes that lasers cannot read, including damaged,
distorted, blurred, scratched, low height and low contrast codes. It
also reads codes presented in any orientation, multiple codes within the
same image, and 2-D codes such as Data Matrix and QR codes. With no
moving parts to wear out, the DataMan 300 also offers exceptional
reliability, lower maintenance and longer product life. DataMan's
real-time performance feedback also provides customers with the ability
to make immediate adjustments for process improvements.

they can be used in distribution centers, visit cognexlogistics.com.
