Hanwha Vision, the global vision solution provider, has unveiled the Dual-Lens Barcode Reader Camera, with models TNS-9040IBC, TNS-9050IBC, and TNS-9060IBC, to combine barcode recognition and video capture in one device.
In combination with the Vision Logistics Tracking Software, barcodes, and video are provided in real-time to enhance inventory management, traceability, and incident investigation, reducing shipping errors, and returns, and ultimately boosting customer satisfaction.
A first for logistics
The Barcode Reader Camera utilises accurate barcode recognition, for multiple parcels in one frame, and tracking. AI-powered barcode label detection on the monochrome channel, including for high-speed conveyors, enables operators to find labels efficiently and with ease.
The solution also includes WiseBCR, a pre-installed barcode application that supports real-time barcode information and history.
Global shutter function
The 16, 25, or 35mm lens provides a wide field of view that suits a variety of logistics environments
The sensors for barcode recognition and video monitoring offer 4K resolution for clear imagery. The 16, 25, or 35mm lens provides a wide field of view that suits a variety of logistics environments.
In addition, the global shutter function, available on both channels, captures distortion-free images of high-speed moving objects such as parcels on conveyor belts.
Reduces installation and maintenance
As a single device, the unit reduces installation and maintenance costs. In contrast, conventional systems require barcode readers and video surveillance cameras to be installed as separate systems.
As a result, the Barcode Reader Camera boosts operator efficiency and incident investigation speed as managers can check location, time, and footage details of parcels and events in a single system instead of using separate systems. Furthermore, the device is highly durable with protection against dust, shock, and vibration thanks to IP66/67 and IK10 ratings and M12 connectors.
The complete logistics solution
Packing video management integrates third-party handheld scanners making it a useful tool for fulfillment centres
The Barcode Reader Camera forms the foundation of a comprehensive logistics solution, in combination with Hanwha Vision software and hardware solutions.
It seamlessly integrates with Hanwha Vision’s innovative Vision Logistics Tracking Software (VLTS), a platform that provides a full overview of operations. In addition, packing video management, part of VLTS, integrates third-party handheld scanners making it a useful tool for fulfillment centres.
Productivity, cost-efficiency, and safety
Through the system, logistics managers are empowered to achieve new levels of productivity, cost-efficiency, and safety while reducing damage and theft. “As a global vision solution provider, Hanwha Vision’s technologies are relied on by a number of the world’s leading logistics and package delivery service companies,” said John Lutz Boorman, Head of Product and Marketing at Hanwha Vision Europe.
“Having the first Dual-Lens Barcode Reader Camera showcases Hanwha Vision’s commitment to innovation and ability to deliver market-specific solutions that help our customers to maximise productivity, reduce costs, and achieve their business goals.”
