Camera-based Data Capture for Warehouse & Distribution
Technical Information
Camera-based Reading Systems for Data Capturing
Capturing data automaticallyEvery piece of information on cartons and trans-
port packaging can nowadays be captured and
processed at any position along the entire
production process. This includes supplier numbers,
item numbers, quantities, barcodes, 2-D codes
and customer-specifi c codes as well as the
volume, measurements, shape (deformations)
and the weight of packages.
The captured data is passed on to warehouse
management or ERP systems, for example, and
can be used for additional customer or object-
related processes.

More effi ciency with Auto-IDThe basis for more effi ciency is the automatic cap-
turing of this data with camera systems: Processes
are optimized and automated, throughput times
are shortened and productivity is increased.
VIPAC camera systems are most suitable for data
capturing in Warehouse & Distribution, i.e. inbound
inspection, identifi cation and handling of returns,
picking, sorting and outbound inspection.

Semi-automatic data
acquisition: at manual
workstations
Camera to goods
Manual data capture with
VICAMmobile OCR: Information
on goods (i.e. bulky goods)
is captured with a hand-held
camera.
Semi-automatic data
acquisition: at manual
workstations
Goods to camera
Semi-automatic data capture with
VICAMsnap!: Data is captured at
manual workstations, while the
goods (i.e. small loads) are
moved through the read area of
the matrix camera.
Fully automatic data
acquisition: Integrated into
conveyor systems
Inline
Fully automatic data capture with
VICAMssi2: Permanently installed
line scan cameras are integrated
into the automatic process at
conveyor systems. Data is cap-
tured inline at up to six sides of
packages.
Operation of Camera-based Identifi cation Technology
There are three options how camera-based Auto-ID systems
allow data capture of transport packaging:
VITRONIC offers camera-based Auto-ID systems for all three applications that allow easy, effi cient and
cost-saving reading and processing of data. VIPAC systems can be installed at any position along the
entire process chain.
