Cognex plans a Webinar about their newly introduced Hotbars Technology. The Webinar will be held at May 22 and take 30 minutes. Hotbars is a significant innovation in the fundamental image analysis methods used to read barcodes. The result of a two-year R&D effort led by Cognex cofounder Bill Silver, Hotbars technology combines with Cognex-led advances in image formation to enable DataMan ID readers to outperform traditional laser scanners in the most demanding applications like material handling, logistics, electronics, food/beverage, consumer goods or automotive.

During this webinar Bill will describe how Hotbars finds barcodes in a scene and extracts one-dimensional signals for decoding. He will discuss the performance of Hotbars, with particular emphasis on significant improvements in resolution and speed, as well as the implications of these innovations for the future of barcode reading.
