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.
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.
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. 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 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.
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.”
