Louisville, KY --- VITRONIC, leading manufacturer of high-speed camera scanners, has obtained official certification by the U.S. Postal Service just in time for the holidays. The line scan camera technology known as VIPAC, is streamlining supply chains during the busy holiday season, increasing the rate of processing and distribution for both logistics services and retail distribution centers.
A next-generation solution for retail distributors, the VIPAC parcel identification system increases efficiency by quickly reading hand-written and machine written address information and identifying all barcodes as well as specific customer codes. Even information hidden behind plastic film is easily identified by the camera-based identification system – a distinct advantage during the gift-giving season. Additionally, VIPAC allows retailers the benefit of advanced order and inventory control options. The camera system is easily integrated with automation software to fully direct the flow of goods in and out of distribution facilities. Using this barcode technology, distributors can greatly reduce manual errors that occur with standard barcode tracking systems.
The basis for this optimization is the VICAMssi2 sensor unit, which combines a compact, high resolution, dynamic auto-focus high-speed line-scan camera and LED illumination into one device. Unlike traditional barcode scanners, the camera is able to capture information on non-standard packages as well as standard-sized shipments while measuring parcels volume and enabling automatic invoicing. In comparison to barcode scanners, the camera is faster and delivers improved read rates.
For more than 15 years, VITRONIC has developed and supplied over 3,000 state of the art machine identification systems, both hardware and software, to the leading warehousing, logistics and distribution industries as well as national courier, express, and parcel delivery companies worldwide.
According to Rob King, Vitronic’s Vice President, Sales and Marketing, VITRONIC’s advantage lies in their technology and personnel: “Our years of experience and industry diversification in machine vision automation give us the benefit of providing our customers with the most advanced and innovative solutions customized for their individual needs. The speed and accuracy of the VIPAC system allows distribution companies to get ahead not only for the holidays, but all year long.”
