Fall Seminar Using 2D Code Presented By Derreck Ford Jet Equipment Corporation
Agenda • JET Equipment Corporation Overview • 2D Code Technology Overview • Cost and Benefits of 2D vs. 1D • 2D Code Readers & Vision Systems • IMSTM Software • Questions • Demonstration & Site Tour Using 2D Code
JET Equipment Corporation Overview • An International One-Stop Shop Product Identification Solutions Provider • Turnkey industrial ink jet, laser marking, dot peening, scribing and label application systems. • Ancillary bar code and 2D Code hardware, vision systems and material handling equipment. Using 2D Code Customersserved Industriesserved
2D Code Technology Overview • Started in 1992 • Trend towards Mil-Std-130 • Ability to store more data than linear barcodes • Ability to read poor or damaged 2D code • More cost efficiency Using 2D Code
Types of 2D Codes Maxi Code Data Matrix Using 2D Code Micro PDF 417 Snowflake RSS
Data Matrix • For Small Parts Marking • Used By: • Automotive • NASA • Pharmaceutical • Semi-conductors • High degree of redundancy • Resistance to printing defects • Stores from 1 to about 2,000 characters • Ranges from 0.001 inch per side up to 14 inches per side Using 2D Code
Maxi Code • Used by the United Parcel Service • Size is 1.11 x 1.054 inches and contains up to 93 data characters of information Using 2D Code • Includes error correction • Encodes two messages • 1.) Encodes the postal code, country code and the class of service number. • 2.) Encodes address data but it can also encode other types of information.
Snowflake • Encodes more than 100 numeric digits in a space of only 5mm x 5mm • Used in the pharmaceutical industry Using 2D Code • Includes selectable levels of error correctionup to 40%
RSS • Reduced Space Symbology is a high density 1D bar code • Encodes standard UCC/EAN item numbers - up to 14 digits - in a very small footprint Using 2D Code RSS-14 limited RSS-14 Stacked • Several variants of RSS exist, including Stacked, Limited, and Expanded RSS Expanded RSS Stacked Composite RSS Limited Composite EAN 13 composite
Micro PDF 417 • A 2D stack code derived from and closely based on PDF417 Using 2D Code • Stores up to about 1,800 printable ASCII characters or 1,100 binary character per symbol • Used by the DOD, electronics,healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing industries • Common use on drivers' license cards and for national ID cards globally • Includes fixed levels of error correction
Cost and Benefits of 2D vs. 1D • Holds more information in limited amount of space • Reads omni-directional • Prints quality and contrast are much less critical than with 1-D bar codes or stacked bar codes • Allows independent database with complete freedom of movement • Has encryption providing additional security • Eliminates time consuming and error prone manual data entry because 2D codes are machine-readable Using 2D Code
2D Code Readers • 2 Types: • Fixed--- Fixed or Stationary readers require the 2D code to be in the same field of view from part-to-part. • Hand Held---Hand Held readers are mobile readers. Available as wireless, battery operated, wedge or RS232. Using 2D Code
2D Code Readers (Hand Held) • Manufacturers: Welch-Allyn, Symbol, HHP, RVSI Acuity and Code Corp. Using 2D Code
2D Code Readers (Fixed) • Manufacturers: Cognex, DVT, RVSI, Omnitron, Microscan, and SICK Using 2D Code
IMSTM Software • IMSTM 2701 • IMSTM 4001 Using 2D Code LMS System w/IMS 4001 Software
IMSTM 2701 Software • Device interface software providing 2D code and barcode capabilities to ink jet printers and laser marking systems. • Ability to custom tailor bar codes to achieve ANSI Grade “B” or better on most surfaces. • User password protected. Using 2D Code
IMSTM 2701 Software • Controls Domino, Videojet, Imaje and other industrial inkjet printers • Provides 2D and 1D code printing capabilities • Supports automatic inspection & verification of printed 2D and 1D codes • Individual Device Status is constantly displayed Using 2D Code
IMSTM 4001 Software • Provides motion control (X/Y/Z) to moving print head systems. • Supports Read – Mark – Inspect part marking process. • Provides alphanumeric text, 2D and 1D code and logo printing capabilities. • Supports low cycle time, multiple part marking. Using 2D Code
