Microscan, the world's leading barcode product developer, introduced the new Quadrus® Verifier Verifier. The birth of Verifier created the perfect "supervisor" for Data Matrix barcodes. It is fully integrated and can be used directly at the factory to analyze, measure, and report the quality of Data Matrix symbols.

Advantages of Data Matrix Coding

Manufacturers in many industries, such as automotive, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, have chosen Data Matri barcodes for automation in order to track products throughout the entire production cycle. This automation in the production process through the Data Matrix bar code enables the “traceability” of the product in the production process. Using Data Matrix bar code reading technology, you can scan and record product information without operator logging and manually entering information. This eliminates manual data entry and manual transcription errors, and eliminates the possibility of product rework or product recall while reducing man-hours and manpower. Improve the automation level of the entire production process.

Data Matrix coding has its obvious advantages. First, it can provide high data density in a smaller space. And its size is variable. In fact, it can be copied to various sizes that contain more or less information, suitable for different purposes. In addition, this encoding is suitable for almost all printing methods, including offset printing and thermal transfer, and even direct inkjet printing or photolithography. It has been verified that the Data Matrix code can be read without special equipment under conditions of low contrast and arbitrary angle rotation. It can be used to encode letters and numbers for electronic data conversion. Due to the built-in automatic error detection/correction function, its read reliability is high. Coupled with minimal space requirements, the highly flexible nature of the Data Matrix encoding has attracted the interest of many electronics manufacturers.

Data Matrix's "Supervisors"

However, the production of the Data Matrix is ​​not very accurate, and there may be errors in the production process. In the event of a bad Data Matrix symbol and the inability to read certain symbols or repeatedly read symbols. So the factory needed an automated Data Matrix verifier to “supervise” the Data Matrix's manufacturing process. At present, most desktop verifiers are installed on a laboratory support and require the inspection process of the verifier to be highly compatible with the product production process. There are requirements for the consistency of inspection and production environments, and lighting standards. Therefore, to ensure the quality of the entire production, a very high level of Data Matrix "supervisors" is required.

Microscan tailors the new Data Matrix Verifier Verifier Quadrusreg to the factory; Verifier can help eliminate bad Data Matrix symbols in the production process, ensuring that every symbol can be read, manufacturers can increase production efficiency, improve operator satisfaction, and avoid Unnecessary cost due to product return and relabeling.

Also, Quadrus Regifier is different from most desktop verifiers that are mounted on laboratory racks. It is a fully enclosed micro-inspector that is easily integrated with the production environment. Matt Allen, Microscan's industrial product manager, points out: "Manufacturers need to inspect their components. The inspection environment should be the same as the environment in which they were made. Quadrus Verifier allows manufacturers to integrate inspection processes with production processes and provide real-time inspection results for the marking process."

To ensure consistent manufacturing results, Quadrus® Verifier has preset focus and lighting. The angle of illumination generated in a fully enclosed lighting room has been calibrated before production to ISO/IEC 15426-2 certification standards, providing accurate measurement readings and levels for each Data Matrix symbol. With no need for optical and lighting adjustments in the production floor, the small, lightweight Quadrus® Verifier is extremely easy to use.
