Modern distribution centers rely on rapid barcode reading as packages move quickly along conveyors. The U3-33D2XLS Rev.1.2, with its global shutter sensor and 67 fps capability, captures distortion-free images of moving items. Its ability to freeze motion ensures even shiny or irregularly shaped packages are recorded clearly. This results in fewer scanning errors, faster throughput, and more reliable automated sorting. By integrating a compact, low-power camera into scanning stations, logistics operators can process high volumes efficiently, keeping pace with the growing demand of e-commerce and reducing costly misreads or delays during shipment handling.
Autonomous robots require consistent visual data to navigate crowded warehouses and factory floors. The U3-33D2XLS Rev.1.2 excels in this role by combining compact size with excellent low-light and near-infrared sensitivity. The global shutter ensures the robot sees clear, undistorted views even while moving at speed. This allows accurate line detection, obstacle recognition, and path correction without interruptions. With its low power draw, it is especially suited for battery-powered robotic platforms. By equipping robots with this sensor, manufacturers gain safer navigation, better uptime, and improved reliability when operating in dynamic industrial environments where precision and safety are critical.
High-volume production lines demand precise inspection of parts as they pass at rapid speeds.
