PIATI(TM)_AIT Fully Integrated ECC200 Data Matrix(TM) Decoder Combines New Look with Low Cost



CAMBRIDGE, Mass- The Value Engineering Alliance, a leading provider of machine vision solutions, announces its newest addition, the PIATI(TM)_AIT, to the fully integrated systems segment of its PIATI(TM) line of ECC200 Data Matrix Decoders. PIATI_AITs are ideally suited for automated laboratory and manufacturing operations that involve the reading of direct marked codes or coded labels on slowly moving items, as well as items that are sequentially transported or indexed and, as a result, stationary at decode time.

Easily configured using a PC-based program that features a graphical user interface (GUI), the PIATI_AIT facilitates the identification and selection of the parameters and options needed to optimize its performance for each application. The GUI also supports selection and configuration of the product's supplementary automatic identification tools that are suitable for use in addressing certain trainable OCR and Interleaved 2 of 5 bar code applications.

The PIATI_AIT's NEMA4 (IP65) protection class industrial enclosure is conveniently threaded for M30-compatible mounting hardware, and is 100 mm long x 30 mm in diameter. The system is powered by a digital signal processor, equipped with image/data and program memory, and makes the most of a medium resolution CCD (640 x 480 pixels) that provides progressive scan capability.

This decoding option also includes integrated lighting and optics (eight white LEDs and a 12 mm N-mount lens), two digital inputs/four digital outputs with monitoring LEDs and an RS-232 serial communications interface which, is also used to upload images of interest to PCs for display.

The PIATI_AIT is one of several product offerings in the PIATI (Place It And Trace It(TM)) suite of Data Matrix decoding software and systems available from The Value Engineering Alliance. The product suite includes fully integrated general-purpose products, application/industry-specific appliances and robust Data Matrix decoding software that is supplied in a library function format.
