Hanwha Vision has launched a new Barcode Reader (BCR) camera designed for the logistics industry.
The company has reported that with a modular design for flexible configuration, enhanced barcode recognition performance and seamless systems integration, this solution boosts efficiency for the logistics sector.
The camera is said to feature a modular structure, allowing users to customise the lens, LED module and front cover to meet specific site requirements.
With diverse lens options ranging from 6mm to 25mm and LED modules with both wide and narrow beam angles, the camera reportedly ensures optimal viewing angles and brightness in various installation settings.
This flexibility, according to the company, allows customers to select only the components they need, helping to overcome complex installation challenges while maximising return on investment.
The 3MP monochrome (black and white) camera is said to be optimised for barcode recognition, delivering enhanced image clarity while minimising data processing requirements.
Hanwha Vision has articulated that as a monochrome camera, it captures black and white images, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of barcode scanning.
This reportedly makes it particularly suitable for environments like logistics centres that require rapid processing of a high volume of barcodes.
This BCR camera is said to work seamlessly with Hanwha Vision’s 4K dual-sensor BCR camera and integrated software to create an even more powerful solution.
While the 4K dual-sensor camera can be installed to monitor package status and scan barcodes from a top-down view, the 3MP mono camera is effective at recognising barcodes on the front and sides of parcels, providing comprehensive coverage for complex logistics environments.
Additionally, with Hanwha Vision’s integrated software that combines invoice tracking and surveillance monitoring, users can track barcodes and review corresponding video footage from a single platform.
The camera is also reportedly compatible with third-party VMS, allowing for seamless integration into existing systems.
This camera is said to feature AI-based barcode recognition technology that automatically detects and recognises the location of barcodes on packages, ensuring high accuracy.
According to the company, the HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature also effectively removes noise in low-light conditions, providing clear images and precise barcode scanning in any lighting conditions.
