With online trading and the Internet of Things the logistics industry faces new challenges and is forced to invest in Industry 4.0 suitable infrastructure. To come out on top of the competition high delivery capability and speed at low non-conformity costs are needed. Therefore clear, accurate and machine-readable status information about all goods and their movements are required. At upcoming LogiMat in Germany REA JET presents coding and marking systems as well as code-verifying equipment that has been developed exactly for this purpose.
REA offers fast, contact- and maintenance-free working ink- and laser printing systems as well as dispensing systems for printed labels that meet the requirements of modern intralogistics. They print high-resolution, machine legible codes of any kind. DataMatrix or 2D codes for example gain importance very quickly. They are cheaper than RFID chips and in comparison to barcodes fill less space with more information but unlike defective barcodes they are still legible thanks to integrated error correction.
Connection to master databases and the availability of texts and characters from all over the world are must-have features for export-oriented companies. Therefore REA technology includes Unicode-support (UTF8), TrueType font capability, a XML-based data structure and communication, modern Ethernet interfaces, sufficient digital I/Os, operating possibility via web browser, a VNC server for remote maintenance plus enough speed reserves. All parts satisfy the needs of Industry 4.0.
Illegible or badly printed codes are expensive and inconvenient. At the LogiMAT REA VERIFIER introduces the latest generation of code verification systems for quality assurance in the logistics industry. All kinds of machine-legible codes can be analyzed and optimized until their first reading rates comply with the requirements of industry norms. Visitors can bring code samples and have them verified at the booth.
