ALS launches barcode identification system at PPMA

An Advanced Labelling Systems product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 15, 2009

Advanced Labelling Systems (ALS) will be launching a barcode identification system at the PPMA show for scanning product codes of CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, games and books.

The camera-based, multi-media omnidirectional barcode identification system (MOBI) offers advantages over traditional laser-based omnidirectional barcode reading equipment when combined with real-time 1:1 print and apply labelling machines.

Designed for reading the most challenging of printed product barcodes with high accuracy at high-speed and at any angle, MOBI uses a single line high-resolution camera, which means that for applications where a label is applied on the opposite face of a product, the system can be mounted under the conveyor looking up through a small gap.

This in turn allows for mounting of the label applicator above the conveyor, so that a fast blow-on application method can be used, with the added benefits of easier access for loading of labels, plus general visibility of the applied label afterwards.

Due to MOBI's single-line operation, it is capable of reading much shorter barcodes reliably, omnidirectionally and at high speeds.

In addition, due to the fact that it uses a black and white camera, MOBI overcomes potential problems of reading different colour combinations of barcode/background.

ALS will be demonstrating a typical, continuous high-speed print and apply labelling application.
