Barcode Scanner Conveyor System
The automated process of scanning barcodes on items or packages as they move along a conveyor belt is called a barcode scanner conveyor system. It is a specialized configuration utilized in many different industries and applications. For inventory management, product monitoring, sorting, and other uses, this system merges conveyor belts with integrated barcode scanners to quickly and precisely record barcode data.
A barcode scanner conveyor system includes the following parts:
The conveyor belt, which moves objects from one side to the other, is the main part of the system. Conveyor belts come in a variety of lengths and designs based on the requirements of the application.
Embedded barcode scanners are placed strategically along the path of the conveyor to read the barcodes of the products or packages that are being moved along. The barcode data is collected by these scanners using a variety of methods, including camera-based systems or laser scanners.
Every part of the conveyor system is controlled by a central control unit or programmable logic controller (PLC). The conveyor’s movement is coordinated, the barcode scanners are turned on at the appropriate moment, and the data obtained from the scanned barcodes are analyzed.
