OSARO has welcomed Cognex Corporation into the OSARO Partners Alliance, an ecosystem of experience geared toward delivering optimum automation options to clients. By integrating Cognex DataMan fixed-mount, image-based barcode readers into the OSARO Robotic Bagging System, OSARO solved a tough technical problem for Zenni Optical.
Blyn Prokopowich, delivery supervisor at Zenni Optical stated “OSARO worked side by side with us to ensure knowledge transfer. They actively responded to all our questions and requests. I’ve seen my team change and they are very, very excited about this challenge. Learning new skills is [better than] doing repetitive motions every day. The skills give them confidence.”
The latest deployment at Zenni in Novato, California, showcased the function of Cognex’s DataMan barcode readers in OSARO’s system, which includes a FANUC M-10 Series robotic arm powered by OSARO SightWorks imaginative and prescient and management system for robots, a Pregis Sharp automated bagging machine, Cognex readers, and Framos cameras to information the robotic. NPSG Global constructed the bodily infrastructure in collaboration with OSARO’s technical workforce.
The system demonstrated compelling ROI for one of many world’s high eyeglass retailers by fixing an ongoing problem. Zenni’s signature translucent blue eyeglass instances had stymied scanners from a number of OEMs that have been unable to learn barcodes by the plastic instances. OSARO vetted a number of suppliers earlier than choosing Cognex DataMan readers, which achieved 99% accuracy and browse charges whereas rising throughput by 80%.
Lighting performs an vital function in barcode studying options and helps to extend learn charges. Cognex’s high-intensity LED lighting — a high-powered built-in torch (HPIT) — was instrumental within the capability to learn barcodes by Zenni’s eyewear instances. Today, every OSARO robotic system can decide, scan, bag, and label as much as 410 eyeglasses per hour.
“At OSARO, we’re always looking for the best technologies and vendors to incorporate into our strategic partnership ecosystem. Cognex is now part of that partnership strategy to deploy the best possible solutions to our customers,” stated OSARO VP of Operations Gemma Ross. “We are excited to be working with Cognex and to draw on their experts with deep domain experience in the successful deployment of barcode readers in challenging e-commerce and logistics applications.”
“Cognex is proud to partner with OSARO to solve the most difficult barcode reading challenges on behalf of its customer, Zenni,” stated Ben Carey, director of logistics product administration at Cognex. “Our DataMan barcode-reading solutions can read barcodes in challenging conditions, ensuring that customers can maintain an efficient and accurate robotic pick-and-place process — and deliver customer orders on time.”
