Scantor reads codes on-the-fly
The AIT Smartgate is a scan gate that is used, among other things, in the area of the truck loading ramp
This allows all 1D and 2D codes on a pallet to be automatically scanned and recorded on one, two or three sides while the pallet is moving.
The pallet is moved through the scan gate via a conveyor, a lift truck or a forklift. The maximum movement speed is around one meter per second or four kilometers per hour. The system automatically triggers the reading via the built-in light barrier. The read codes can be transmitted to a higher-level system or a controller via Profinet or TCP/IP. The data can also be pre-sorted using a built-in script.
