Facility managers consult a variety of data sources when making decisions about on-site process optimization. Machine vision tools and industrial barcode readers rank as some of the highest producers of data in factory automation and logistics. The data collected by these tools is vital for manufacturers and distribution centers designing and deploying Industry 4.0 environments. For facilities which rely on barcode reading specifically, a wealth of untapped information exists at each scan point. Cognex Explorer™ Real Time Monitoring (RTM) is designed specifically to aggregate and trend data collected by DataMan® image-based barcode readers for immediate and ongoing process improvement
Optimize your operation
RTM collects, processes, and displays information collected by DataMan barcode readers to help facility managers remove system defects and improve overall equipment efficiency (OEE) and throughput. Access to current and historic key performance indicators makes it simple to analyze productivity, adjust settings, and optimize processes. RTM allows users to see the forest and the trees, evaluating long-term trends and analyzing specific data points to pinpoint read issues.
Powerful tools to identify and resolve issues
RTM organizes data in easy-to-use dashboards that make it simple to track performance and analyze metrics. ⪠Overview of facility performance via read rates and throughput over time ⪠1-D and 2-D barcode quality metrics identify when code quality drops, signaling that labeling or printing equipment requires attention ⪠Detailed trigger data including barcode symbology, module size, and decode time ⪠Automatic collection and root cause analysis of no-reads ⪠Tracks and compares reader configuration changes ⪠Heat maps track the relative positions of barcodes to identify required changes in reader configurations
