(Windsor, ON -
September 22, 2009) Manufacturing
IT Systems Integration and Controls
Engineering firm DataRealm Inc. has
been appointed a Cognex
Partner System Integrator. The appointment
gives DataRealm the opportunity to
add Cognex identification readers
and related products to the services
it offers clients in the automotive,
heavy equipment, food and beverage
and durable goods industries.
Cognex's award-winning family of
high-performance image-based ID readers
are designed to provide high reliability
reading of 1D and 2D codes on the
widest range of applications. This
includes the easiest to read codes
to the most difficult including those
marked directly on metal, glass, ceramic,
and plastic parts. The information
collected from its ID readers is used
to track products during production
and is most often integrated in data
acquisition and manufacturing business
intelligence systems.
"We are often called on by our
clients to develop traceability systems.
A key part of traceability is capturing
machine readable codes that are printed
on components or products. As they
move through various automated stages
of production, Cognex ID readers gather
specific code information. The collected
data is used to track work-in-progress
and to support and guide materials
and resource allocation decisions
and for quality control. With traceability
systems, a problem with any product
can be traced back to the machines
that were used and the time the products
were produced, explains DataRealm
President Dave Fortin.
He adds, "Cognex products are
highly valued in manufacturing because
they are able to effectively read
the codes even under the most challenging
conditions which helps ensure continual
production."
