Cognex Corporation annonce la commercialisation d’une toute nouvelle gamme de terminaux mobiles et robustes.
The MX-1000 range of mobile terminals offers manufacturers, logistics companies and all those who use expensive and inflexible mobile terminals a revolutionary new way of performing a wide range of tasks, such as inventory management, logistics and on-site service provision. The MX-1000 combines the ease of use, low cost and flexibility of conventional smartphones with a rugged, portable package containing the phone and a dedicated Cognex barcode reader, whose technology is claimed to outperform competitive camera and laser systems. Cognex believes that this unique combination will enable it to become a major player in the $500 million mobile terminal market segment.
Cognex designed the MX-1000 following in-depth discussions with leading companies that use not only mobile terminals but also Cognex vision and industrial identification products. These customers were often dissatisfied with their mobile terminals, which they described as proprietary, closed systems that were expensive to maintain and difficult to create specific applications on. They encouraged Cognex to design an intelligent mobile terminal that could accommodate the smartphones on the market, while combining them with Cognex's renowned barcode reading technology. The first MX-1000 units were field-tested by a number of Fortune 500 companies, who then placed orders with Cognex.
" The initial versions of our mobile terminal offer Cognex's 1D and 2D code reading capabilities, probably the best in the world, but the integrated hardware is actually a complete Cognex vision engine, capable of much more than just barcode reading.explains Dr. Robert J. Shillman, founder and president of Cognex. En effet, nous avons d’ores et déjà prévu que nos clients puissent ajouter ensuite d’autres fonctionnalités de vision qui leur seront utiles, telles que la reconnaissance optique de caractères, la vérification des paquets et d’autres tâches d’inspection. "
" Cognex is disrupting the mobile terminal market by offering customers the power, ease of use and low cost of Android and iOS smartphones with its barcode reading technology.confirms Robert J. Willett, President and CEO of Cognex. Our customers no longer need to choose between ruggedness and flexibility; with the MX-1000 from Cognex, they get the best of both, along with unrivalled DataMan technology for reliable barcode reading, even in the toughest conditions.
