In medical manufacturing, reading one UDI code is easy. Reading every code in a tray is the real challenge.

A tray may contain dozens of surgical instruments or medical components. If one Data Matrix code is missed, the inspection fails. Operators must stop the line, rescan the tray, or perform manual verification, reducing production efficiency.

Why Does One Code Get Missed?

The problem is rarely caused by a single factor. Small code size, low print quality, reflections, or slight position differences can all lead to a missed read.

This is why a scanner that performs well with a single barcode may still struggle when dozens of tiny UDI codes must be captured in one image.

Built for Reliable Batch Inspection

The XTIOT XT8601B is designed for high-density UDI and medical traceability applications.

It features a 3072 x 2048 industrial image sensor and can decode up to 100 barcodes in one capture.

More importantly, the system can automatically verify the detected barcode quantity. If fewer than the preset number of codes are read, an immediate alarm can be triggered, helping prevent missing items, incomplete trays, and production errors before products move to the next process.

Supporting Data Matrix, QR Code and DPM, together with TCP/IP and RS232, the XT8601B integrates easily into medical device production lines, laboratory automation equipment, and inspection systems.
