The recent deployment at Zenni in Novato, California, showcased
the role of Cognex’s DataMan barcode readers in OSARO’s system,
which comprises a FANUC M-10 Series robot arm powered by OSARO
SightWorks™ vision and control system for robots, a Pregis Sharp™
automated bagging machine, Cognex readers, and Framos cameras to
guide the robot. NPSG Global constructed the physical
infrastructure in collaboration with OSARO’s technical team.
The system demonstrated compelling ROI for one of the world’s
top eyeglass retailers by solving an ongoing challenge. Zenni’s
signature translucent blue eyeglass cases had stymied scanners from
several OEMs that were unable to read barcodes through the plastic
cases. OSARO vetted several suppliers before selecting Cognex
DataMan readers, which achieved 99% accuracy and read rates, while
increasing throughput by 80%.
Lighting plays an important role in barcode reading solutions
and helps to increase read rates. Cognex’s high-intensity LED
lighting — a high-powered integrated torch (HPIT) — was
instrumental in the ability to read barcodes through Zenni’s
eyewear cases. Today, each OSARO robotic system can pick, scan,
bag, and label up to 410 eyeglasses per hour.
“At OSARO, we’re always looking for the best technologies and
vendors to incorporate into our strategic partnership ecosystem.
Cognex is now part of that partnership strategy to deploy the best
possible solutions to our customers,” said OSARO VP of Operations
Gemma Ross. “We are excited to be working with Cognex and to draw
on their experts with deep domain experience in the successful
deployment of barcode readers in challenging e-commerce and
logistics applications.”
“Cognex is proud to partner with OSARO to solve the most
difficult barcode reading challenges on behalf of its customer,
Zenni,” said Ben Carey, director of logistics product management at
Cognex. “Our DataMan barcode-reading solutions can read barcodes in
challenging conditions, ensuring that customers can maintain an
efficient and accurate robotic pick-and-place process — and deliver
customer orders on time.”
