Automatic detection and control of rack storage locations
A CLV65x or CLV69x fixed mount barcode scanner reads the barcode on a rack where metal coils (sheet metal coils) are stored, for example. The fixed mount barcode scanners then send the corresponding data to a central computer for monitoring. Using the data, it directs an automated guided vehicle (AGV) to the right rack to feed metal coils into production on schedule. As the AGV approaches the rack, the automatically controlled optics of the CLV65x or CLV69x provide the necessary depth of field. This enables high availability of the AGV even with fast-running reading processes.
