Accu-Sort AV6010 Raises The Bar For Camera-Based Auto ID

Accu-Sort Systems, Inc., a world leader in industrial high-speed camera-based identification solutions, recently announced the launch of the AV6010 Long Range Camera System. Designed to deliver the easiest installation, highest reliability and best performance for 1D and 2D bar code reading as well as OCR and Video Coding Applications, the AV6010 sets a new standard in the industry for a fully integrated camera-based scanning solution.

The latest addition to the Accu-Vision product line, the AV6010 camera system will serve as the new technology platform for future Accu-Sort products, and it offers several industry firsts. The system cuts installation time an estimated 70 percent over comparable systems, by using a unique Auto Configuration Wizard and by integrating camera, illumination, decoder, and power supplies into a single unit. A unique internal network eliminates downtime caused by camera failure, and a robust design raises mean time between failure (MTBF) to an unprecedented level of reliability. What's more, the AV6010 simplifies maintenance with a novel modular design that enables plug-and-play component replacement.

Ideal for high-speed parcel sortation, the AV6010 is also suited for warehouse and distribution center applications, where previously a high-end camera-based solution may have been too complex.

The new AV6010 camera system delivers an unprecedented 75,000 hours MTBF. Yet it only takes 10 hours to install a six-sided tunnel along with complete commissioning - a 70 percent reduction in time when compared to installations of comparable systems. Such breakthrough statistics are based on an exclusive design, one in which all components camera, illumination, decoder, and power supplies are integrated into one small-sized unit that comes with a single HTML user interface.

Unlike any other camera sortation system, each major component of the AV6010 is linked via an internal Ethernet network. No single camera can cause system-wide failure because its functionality can be assumed by any one of the other cameras.

Each major AV6010 component also operates as a field replaceable module. This "plug and play" design sets another industry standard: unequalled ease of maintenance and repair. Unlike traditional camera systems, there is no need to recalibrate and realign when a component fails. The AV6010's revolutionary modular design allows any component to be replaced easily and independently.
