With the development of IOT field, more and more factories choose smart production - Automated Manufacturing. Automated production, automated assembly, automated assembly line, automated sorting widely use in smart factory.

And smart factory can not leave the management of bar code. Whatever use 1D bar code EAN13, UPCA or 2D bar code QR Code Data matrix code.

The barcode scanner has different types in different use environment, currently the mostly used barcode scanner in production is fixed mount barcode scanner module, Embedded barcode scanner module.

To choose a good barcode scanner works with smart factory, we have to consider below points:

1. Barcode Type (For example, it’s CODE128, EAN13, DPM code, etc.), the density/resolution (3mil, 4mil), the data bit and the way of making the barcode (It’s printed by ink printer, laser printer, etc.)

2. The position of barcode, the angle, size, etc.

3. When the barcode scanner scan the barcode, the assembling line is running or it’s in static. What’s the speed of the conveyor?

4. The scanning distance, scanning angle and the scanning environment brightness.

5. What’s the interface do you need: RS232, USB or TTL.

As a professional automated barcode scanner manufacturer, XTIOT cooperated with many enterprises about smart factory project, the model that choose by the customers: XT2010, XT2060, XT2020, XT816.

All these barcode scanner module that mentioned above use megapixel CMOS sensor, and global shutter, with industrial degree, easy to read different metal DPM code, and laser code.

And it can read barcode from a long distance, It can recognize the object within 40CM and decode it within 100ms. To choose a suitable barcode scanner module depends on your use application. 

What kind of fixed mount barcode scanner module is suitable for garbage sorting machine?

With the rapid growth of population, more and more domestic garbage be produced in our daily life. The garbage sorting is an significant assignment to human-beings.

At the first stage, people work hard to pick up garbage and throw it in the garbage can. But it’s not enough to deal with the garbage problem. So the smart garbage sorting machine is created.

You can find the smart garbage sorting machine in tier 1 cities, these machines work everyday to improve cleaner’s work and it’s helpful to help sorting the garbage.  

For example, when you throw a bottle which with barcode to the smart sorting garbage can. When the barcode scanner that fixed inside the garbage can scan the barcode on the bottle, the barcode scanner transmits the barcode data to the backend server, and the system of the smart garbage can will manage the barcode data, then the bottle will be divided automatically to the right place.

So what kind of fixed mount barcode scanner module is suitable for smart sorting garbage machine?

Recommend a suitable barcode scanner module XT2003C that made by XTIOT barcode scanner manufacturer. XT2003C barcode scanner module use 640 * 480 CMOS, global shutter image sensor, the speed of the sensor is 60 frames per second, with high motion tolerance which up to 2m/s maximum.

XT2003C has auto adjusting function of LED lights, the LED lights are in dark when the scanner is standby, in bright when is working. And the LED lights will adjust the brightness automatically when an object is closing or leaving.

It’s easy to fix mount with 2 screws, compatible with multiple system, IOS/Android/Windows/Linux OS, etc.

With rich interface: USB/RS232/RS485/TTL. Use environment: digital health code, QR code, temperature control machine, vending machine, ticket machine, enquiry machine, parcel locker machine, billing machine, payment window, turnstile, one-card pass, building elevator access control, KIOSK, library management, garbage sorting machine, parking lot, etc.
