We can read it!

Cognex offers the most advanced technology available for 1D barcode and for 2D Data Matrix code reading. Regardless of the barcode symbology, size, quality, printing method, or surface the codes are marked on, we can read it!

Combined with the best performing hardware on the market, in both handheld and fixed-mount reader formats, Cognex can successfully read codes that other readers cannot. As a result, image-based readers are rapidly replacing laser scanners in a wide range of manufacturing and logistics applications.

Cognex patented IDMax® technology and two powerful algorithms, 1DMax™ and 2DMax™, provide the most advanced solutions in barcode software available for reading virtually every type of barcode symbology, every time, with unsurpassed read rates.
