In the Chinese market, industrial reader sales have been growing steadily. According to incomplete statistics, the market size of China in 2020 is $127 million, excluding industrial uncertainties, it is expected to reach $221 million in 2027, when China’s industrial reading market will account for about 29.10% of the global market.

Despite the fierce competition in the field of code reader applications, the overall trend of downstream industry development can be seen: manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and other stationary equipment used for production lines will have a higher and higher share. Therefore, this paper will elaborate on the new system “Lector85x series” brought by SICK to the reading industry.

Lector85x system with array camera as the core configuration, can realize all the common types of 1D, 2D barcode recognition. It can meet the high resolution CMOS sensor up to 12 million pixels. Thanks to the camera’s AI intelligent decoding algorithm, the superior processing power makes it suitable for high-speed transmission lines and high throughput of sorting systems. At the same time, the integration configuration reserves interfaces to meet various challenges in various application scenarios.
