Accu-Sort VisionKey Automated Package Sorting, Accu-Sort, bar code readers, barcode scanners, barcodes, picture of bar code, barcode systems, Acumen Hardware VisionKey lets you automate sorting of packages without bar code labels. With VisionKey as a component of your bar code labeling system, you can:
  • Reduce manual handling by automating the sorting of packages with damaged or missing bar code labels;
  • Link address information with a bar code tracking number;
  • Achieve 100% automatic sorting.
The basic VisionKey system consists of an AccuVision camera, a Windows NT-based bar code reader/image server PC, and a remote key entry station.

If the AccuVision camera does not detect a bar code, the image server sends a compressed image of the package surface to the remote key entry station. At the station, the image is displayed on a screen, where an operator enters the required information using a keyboard. The manually entered information can be used to sort the package or to print and apply a label for future sorting.

The basic system can be expanded to meet your specific application needs. The number of cameras and key stations required will depend on the number of labels that need key-entered information. Multiple cameras can be connected to a single key station to maximize personnel utilization.

The VisionKey system incorporates custom workflow organization software, included at no additional cost, which works two ways to help prevent missed packages. First, it equalizes output from the image server to the remote key entry stations, preventing missed parcels due to operator overload during peak operation. Second, the software allows for supervisor interaction to help minimize data entry errors.

Typical Applications Include:
  • Parcel distribution
  • Mail consolidation
  • Parcel handling from uncontrolled sources
Outstanding Features:
  • Optimized image compression (440:1) allows for high parcel throughput rates
  • Keeps system costs low by using standard Windows-based PCs and commercially available hardware
  • Modular system supports 100 cameras and 300 key entry stations on a single network
  • Built-in database automatically verifies address information; reduces mis-sorts of key-entered packages
  • Label Finder Assistant software (optional) helps operator find and orient label quickly
