Automated identification of stacked totes with bar codes

Where applications call for bar codes to be read on stacked totes, bar code scanners with oscillating mirrors are the ideal choice. A G6 trigger photoelectric sensor activates the CLV65x bar code scanner after detecting the tote. The CLV65x uses a horizontal scan line and the vertically oscillating mirror to scan the entire side of the stacked totes, even if they are positioned at varying read heights. The bar code scanner then transmits the code information to the control system. Even contaminated or partially covered codes are no match for the bar code scanner with its SMART+ code reconstruction technology. This means that every tote quickly and securely makes its way to the correct transport vehicle.
