Microscan Releases X-Mode 4.0 Decoding Algorithms for New MicroHAWK Barcode Readers
Microscan, a global manufacturer and pioneer of auto ID solutions from the world’s first laser diode barcode scanner to the Data Matrix symbol, announces the availability of improved X-Mode 4.0 decoding algorithms with its newly-released MicroHAWK barcode reader platform.
Microscan’s high-performance X-Mode products feature the industry’s leading decode algorithms for unprecedented symbol location, analysis, and reconstruction right out of the box. Engineered to outperform competitive barcode readers for the most difficult codes and challenging substrate materials, X-Mode algorithms decode any symbol (1D linear, 2D, or direct part mark) regardless of condition. Advanced pixel analysis and logic render damaged, distorted, poorly-printed, or skewed symbols readable using image processing to prevent data loss. For codes marked directly on parts, like dot peen marks on highly-reflective metal surfaces or inkjet codes printed on cardboard, X-Mode automatically enhances symbol appearance to gather critical symbol data and reliably interpret codes in both static and dynamic applications. X-Mode uniquely offers omnidirectional decoding of any symbol, greatly increasing the range of mounting angles that can be used to position a barcode reader within a piece of equipment or on a manufacturing line. When symbol quality, mark contrast, substrate integrity, or read direction cannot be predicted, X-Mode algorithms are able to safeguard the efficiency of operations and reliably read every code.
Microscan leads the industry for the highest-performance barcode reading and continues to refine its decoding software to address new customer challenges. Equipped with X-Mode 4.0, MicroHAWK and WebLink are ranked the most capable decoding products against competitive barcode readers.
