Application · Traceability

Codes that survive the line, and still get read.

Damaged, low-contrast or partly hidden 1D/2D codes and OCR at production speed. Optics, lighting and readers selected so identification is a decision you can trust.

Industrial code reading overlays

When identification is the bottleneck

Traceability fails when codes are hard to see: laser-etched DPM on metal, curved packaging, glare, motion blur, or ink that barely contrasts. We design the optical path and decode stack together, so the PLC gets a reliable pass/fail and a string you can store.

Electronics and packaging identification

1D & 2D

Barcodes, Data Matrix, QR and proprietary formats at line speed.

DPM & tough codes

Direct part marks on metal, plastic and cast surfaces.

OCR / OCV

Print verification: presence, quality and content.

Select · Detect · Control

How Sedeco makes codes operational

Match the reader to the surface, verify decode rate under real takt, close the loop to the machine.

01 · Select

Camera or smart reader, lens and lighting for mark and motion.

02 · Detect

Stable 1D/2D and OCR under dirt, tilt and speed variation.

03 · Control

Result to PLC, MES or reject, with logging when you need it.

Decision cues

Smart reader vs PC-based ID station

Most code jobs start smart. Step up when decode must fuse with other inspections or extreme surfaces demand custom imaging.

Situation Usual path Why
Standard label / well-printed code Smart reader / smart camera Fast deploy
DPM on metal / low contrast Careful lighting + reader; sometimes PC Optical path first
ID + defect in one view Often PC-based Shared acquisition

Need codes that actually decode?

Send a photo of the mark, the takt and the surface. We propose a stack.

DPM knowledge path

Traceability projects with Direct Part Marking start with definitions and lighting choices. Use the hub and DPM reading guide before you compare reader families.

What DPM is

DPM definition vs this system page

This page is the commercial decision: 1D/2D, DPM and OCR at line speed, with optics, lighting and readers as one system. What DPM is — and why contrast, curvature and motion make reading hard — stays on the knowledge spoke.
