Microscan, a global manufacturer of auto ID solutions, has announced MicroHAWK, a small, intuitive industrial barcode reading platform. MicroHAWK features a fully integrated barcode imaging engine, three industrial-rated miniature barcode imagers and the WebLink browser-based configuration interface. "Together, this comprehensive barcode reading platform decodes any symbol in any application with unprecedented flexibility, compatibility and ease of use," said a company spokesperson.
"MicroHAWK is as small as possible without sacrificing performance and capability," said Andrew Zosel, Vice President of Engineering and Marketing at Microscan. "The result is a platform that is both easy to use and flexible enough to support all of our customers' applications."
At the heart of every MicroHAWK barcode reader is a fully integrated barcode imaging engine. From decoder, to sensor, to speed, to illumination, the engine can be configured with any combination of features and packaged into a MicroHAWK model (ID-20, ID-30, or ID-40) with ideal dimensions, connectivity and industrial rating for any installation. This allows users the freedom to optimize a barcode reader to precisely match their needs. From the tiny ID-20 OEM Barcode Reader with simple USB connectivity, to the flexible IP54-rated ID-30 Miniature Barcode Reader with corner-exit cable, to the ID-40 Industrial Ethernet Barcode Reader, any MicroHAWK reader can be configured.
Both MicroHAWK and the WebLink UI were engineered to allow anyone with or without barcode reading experience to easily install a device into new or existing systems. WebLink is a Web browser-based interface for industrial barcode reading. There is no software required to use WebLink. From any Web-enabled device, users can access the IP address of their MicroHAWK reader in a web browser to view decoded data and barcode images in real time. Using basic information about a barcode reading job, (barcode type, application type, number of codes, etc.), the WebLink interface automatically adjusts the settings of the connected MicroHAWK reader to train and optimize for the expected codes and reading conditions.
"In one platform, Microscan's new MicroHAWK family expands the range of applications for barcode reading and data communication across the factory and across all experience levels, enabling faster, leaner, more simplified manufacturing operations," said the spokesperson.
