Many automation systems still rely on a simple binary safety model: a machine is either running or completely stopped. When operators need access for loading, inspection, cleaning, or adjustments, power is cut and all motion ceases until the area is cleared and the system reset. While effective, this approach can limit productivity. Frequent stop-start cycles reduce throughput and can increase mechanical wear in applications requiring regular human interaction.
Automatic object identification is essential in production and logistics. As 2D codes increasingly replace barcodes, capturing additional data has become more important. Pepperl+Fuchs’ CleverReader stationary code reader ensures reliable code reading with outstanding depth of field, even at high conveyor speeds and varying distances. Features such as automatic error image storage and extensive functionality enable a wide range of advanced applications.
