Employee Spotlight - David Thornton, Sales Engineer  

This month we focus the Employee Spotlight on David Thornton, the Sales Engineer for the Southern Chicago area.  David shares his favorite fishing story with us...

A new foundation for 1-D barcode reading:

Hotbars™ image analysis technology

Hotbars is a significant innovation in the fundamental image analysis methods used to read barcodes.

The result of a two-year R&D effort, Hotbars technology combines with Cognex-led advances in image formation to enable DataMan� ID readers to outperform traditional laser scanners in the most demanding applications:

• Material handling
• Logistics
• Electronics
• Food/beverage
• Consumer goods
• Automotive

Industrial RFID Systems

Smart Antennas combine traditional reader and Antenna into a single small housing 

RFID, Inc.'s 125 KHz Smart Antenna product line incorporate both the RFID Reader and RFID Antenna into a single piece solution offering PLC protocols of DeviceNet, Ethernet/IP, Profibus, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, standard TCPIP and Serial.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems offer data tracking and error proofing solutions such as machine tool, flexible assembly, production, automation, warehousing, logistics, and distribution tracking.

DataMan 300 image-based barcode reader

Achieve higher read rates for better efficiency

The DataMan 300 series of readers was developed to handle the most difficult-to-read DPM (Direct Part Mark) codes as well as challenging 1-D linear barcodes and 2-D Data Matrix
codes and for indexed or high-speed lines.

Unmatched read rate performance    

Decode the most challenging 1-D and 2-D barcodes with enhanced 1DMax+™ and 2DMax+™ code-reading algorithms

2DMax+™ algorithm reads DPM codes no matter the mark type or surface

1DMax+ with Hotbars™ technology provides higher read rates of damaged 1-D linear barcodes at a faster pace than ever before.
