LumiScan DMC Reader finds every ECC 200 Data Matrix code in a camera image and reports its content and position. Data Matrix is the square-module standard for part marking and direct part marking, so your PLC can trace serial numbers, batches and parts through production. The reader needs no template, training or configuration and runs on ctrlX OS or a Windows or Ubuntu PC.
