Accu-Sort Systems Inc., one of the first companies to sell auto-ID systems, has reached another landmark with the sale of its 8,000th camera.

Since releasing its first cameras in 1997, the company has created a number of innovations, including CCD cameras and dimensioning systems, high-speed focusing technology and coplanar LED illumination.

Now producing its fifth-generation camera, Accu-Sort continues to drive quality and performance in the industry by making equipment smaller, better and easier to customize, according to Andrew Ross, product marketing manager with Accu-Sort Systems.

In less than 10 years, the industry has seen dramatic change, Ross said. "Cameras today are smaller and don't use sodium lights. They use LED illumination, a more reliable and cost-effective solution that can be turned off when not in use. Cameras today can read smaller bar codes and offer more scanning options, including a variety of lens and sensor combinations, image capture solutions and remote programming/diagnostics that help customers optimize performance for a given application."

Ross said Accu-Sort has become the largest supplier of cameras in the world "because we have the best performing solution, the widest variety of diagnostic tools and the most experience in the toughest, most challenging installations. Performance coupled with the best worldwide network of service and support put us at the top of the list of auto-ID camera suppliers anywhere in the world."
