Optimise parcel handling; improve reading reliability and reduce no-read costs to a minimum with the new SICK ICR890.

The ICR890 vision system is the ideal solution in linear and 2D code reading. In addition the excellent image quality provided by the ICR890 makes it suitable for all kinds of OCR and video coding tasks.

The modular camera design includes integrated illumination, focus control and a high-performance decoder. The illumination is optimised to provide, without adjustment, homogeneous lighting over a wide range of reading situations.
The integrated high-performance decoder includes an industrial PC board, flash and RAM memory and runs on Windows XP embedded operating system. A high speed image output with 2 GBit Ethernet channels can be used for video coding or OCR applications and the integrated JPEG encoder can out put compressed pictures in real-time. This feature leads to a significant reduction of the data rate to the host system.

Based on CAN network the system controller MSC800 can also integrate the high-end CCD camera, SICK laser-based bar code scanners and SICK volume measurement systems into one system. This makes for the ultimate flexibility for application solutions.
