Automotive Industry Case Study: Decoding Dot Peen 2D Codes on Brake Components

From Microscan Systems Incorporated

A manufacturer of anti-lock breaks wants to mark each component in the system with a 2D code and track it throughout the manufacturing process. Since they selected dot peen as the method to apply the symbol, they need a reader with ability to read low contrast dot peen codes in an industrial environment. They select a 2D barcode reader because it easily read the codes at a variety of speeds without the need for exterior lighting and other accessories.

Data Acquisition Computer Boards
Data acquisition computer boards are self-contained printed circuit boards that typically plug into the backplane, motherboard, or otherwise interface directly with the computer bus.
Data Acquisition
Data acquisition is the digitizing and processing of multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes. Signal conditioning includes the amplification, filtering, converting, and other processes required to make sensor output suitable for rereading by computer boards.
