The Master Data Analyzer track-and-trace system captures the dimensions, the weight, and the bar code of objects in one step. Measuring automation light grids (MLG) enable measurements to be taken regardless of the object's reflective properties. This means that the Master Data Analyzer can be relied upon to deliver accurate measured data for objects packaged in foil in particular. It is not necessary to align objects. Measurements can be carried out in both directions. Data is send directly after an object has been detected. Measurements can even be interrupted. The Master Data Analyzer also impresses with its rugged design, simple and intuitive operation, and maintenance-free mechanism.
