Object recognition with Pat-Genius – Pat-Genius object recognition license now available through firmware update for optical readers
Siemens releases a firmware update for the new generation of Simatic MV500 optical readers. These devices feature a high image resolution of up to 5.3 megapixels (MP) and a large working memory of up to two gigabytes (GB) amongst other features. The Pat-Genius object recognition license is now available for all devices in the Simatic MV500 family. This means that it is now possible not only to read 1D barcodes and 2D matrix codes, but also predetermined structures in the image can be checked regardless of the object pose.
