VICAM SNAP! is a stationary automatic identification system for:

• Manual sorting of large letters
• Registration of consignments at goods receipt
• Registration of returns
• Preparation of shipments of goods
• Order control at goods issue
• Light-guided order picking applications
• Voice-guided sorting applications

Regardless of whether it is for manual sorting or handling at distribution and logistics centres or for parcel service providers: the VICAM SNAP! compact automatic identification system captures and processes barcodes and 2D codes much faster than laser scanners.

Thanks to the extraordinarily high reading performance of the VICAM SNAP! multicode reading system, operators can move goods (e.g. small items, containers or large letters) under the camera matrix using both hands at high speeds. The large reading area (310 mm x 260 mm x 300 mm) makes it possible to handle goods quickly and intuitively. Thanks to the large reading area, the VICAM SNAP! automatic identification system is capable of capturing even damaged, poorly defined or badly printed codes on the most diverse surfaces, even under a protective film. Even the smallest codes and adjacent codes are captured.

The efficient automatic identification system makes manual sorting quicker and provides maximum productivity. Identification is carried out continuously, fully automatically and without manual activation. The automatic identification system installed above the workplace reads all common barcodes and 2D codes (also colour codes on colour backgrounds, etc.), while the packages are passed under the camera. It displays images in real time and automatically archives all captured information.

The VICAM SNAP! system incorporates a configurable connection to a database. This allows reliable data to be collated in a fully automatic way. An integrated loudspeaker makes operation as easy as possible by providing configurable instructions to the operators and acoustic signals during shipment capture. The high read rate eliminates the need for repeated reading attempts.

Benefits

• Much faster and more efficient data capture on the move.
• Increased employee productivity.
• Flexible integration into existing workstations, without additional costs for new reading stations or additional transport systems.
• Automatic reading of barcodes and 2D codes without the need to point or operate a handheld scanner.
• Provides images for character reading.
• Possibility to establish a data connection with inventory control and warehouse management systems.
• Ease of operation, as no operator training is required.
• The system can be used simultaneously by several operators.
• The system can be integrated into mobile order picking or transport vehicles.
