1D & 2D
Barcodes, Data Matrix, QR and proprietary formats at line speed.
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.
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.
DPM & tough codes
Direct part marks on metal, plastic and cast surfaces.
OCR / OCV
Print verification: presence, quality and content.

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 |
