Machine vision systems provider Cognex Corp. showed off its DataMan 470 series of fixed-mount bar-code readers, an addition to the firm's product line that provides increased speed, resolution, and depth of field for complex high-throughput manufacturing and logistics applications. Whether mounted on a shelf or a scan tunnel, the readers offer High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging technology that generates the high-resolution images that enable algorithms to analyze scans of logos and graphics as well as bar codes.

The company also demonstrated its DataMan 72 scanner, a zone-routing product that can be connected through daisy chain cabling instead of a series of sequential connections.
