In-Sight ID reader delivers highest read rates in traceability monitoring system

摘要

ETO Magnetic GmbH, an industrial product manufacturer based in Stockach, Germany uses Cognex In-Sight 5100 ID readers to create a continuous monitoring system for traceability at their facilities in Germany, Poland, China and the United States. ETO Magnetic is able to produce several million defect-free parts for the automotive industry with just a few seconds between steps in the production process. A factor in this success is the continuous monitoring of parts on their way to a finished product, based on intelligent vision systems. Laser-etched and dot peen 2D codes provide the most important methods for creating an individual fingerprint for quality assurance. Since the introduction of innovative traceability solutions from Cognex, the pseudo-failure rate has been reduced from four per cent to almost zero.
