The new Matrix 320 5MP reader features an extended lens and lightings portfolio to solve a broader range of applications, including those with a large depth of field (DoF) or field of view (FoV).
Datalogic’s latest reader in the Matrix range is Industry 4.0 ready, featuring complete embedded Industrial Connectivity (including OPC UA), which helps to reduce cost of integration. It is ideally suited to intralogistics, e-commerce, retail, manufacturing and logistics automation tasks.
“The Matrix 320 5MP reader’s modular design – with a complete portfolio of lenses, lightings, filters, and accessories – provides top levels of flexibility and minimises time and cost, helping system integrators to find effective, powerful solutions to grow the business opportunities for applications in any industrial environment,” says Ms Morena Corradini, Product Marketing Manager, Datalogic.
“Quick reaction times and hands-free applications further improve operator efficiency. The reader’s outstanding performance will increase throughput and overall productivity for the end user,” she said.
Illumination has been further enhanced in the new Matrix 320 5MP model, with Very High Power (VHP) illuminator, featuring 36 LEDs, or an Ultra High Power (UHP) illuminator, featuring 72 LEDs, to enhance productivity for applications with demanding speed, distance, and DoF.
The new scanner features an embedded distance sensor, with Time of Flight (ToF) technology that automatically detects reading distance to dynamically optimise scanning performance.
Simple aiming systems, with cross-projection and a new grid pattern, allow the scanner to project visible read feedback on the label for an easy-to-see visual reading area, improving manual performance.
Applications
Datalogic’s new Matrix 320 reader can be used in a wide variety of applications, including:
Intralogistics, Logistic, E-Commerce, Retail and Logistic Automation applications such as:
- Inbound / Outbound Pallet Picking (Forklift)
- Print & Apply verification (Re-labelling)
- Order Fulfillment (Automatic/Manual) and Order Verification
- Tote verification
- Apparel and Small Items traceability
- Depalletizing, Palletizing, Cage Preparation
- Pallet Traceability / Pallet Wrapping
- Reverse Logistic
Manufacturing applications such as:
- Automotive Work in Progress (WIP) and Traceability
- Component / Part Traceability
- Secondary Packaging Traceability (bundling)
- End of Line Traceability
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
The new Matrix 320 5MP reader has been designed as a complete solution, and reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through its ease of installation, configuration, and operation.
Modular assembly C-Mount models provide the highest level of flexibility and combination of parts, to enable system integrators to service the largest variety of industrial applications.
“The C-Mount modular assembly models provide a complete portfolio of accessories with a full set of interchangeable lenses (8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm), two illuminator colours (blue and white) in two power versions, and accessories with a smart modular design,” says Ms Corradini.
“Full industrial connectivity, overall compactness, rotating connectors, and a top industrial grade make Matrix 320 5MP extremely easy to fit into every industrial environment,” she said.
