Ident sensor with USB interface
Alternative to the handheld reader
Capture, analyze and verify barcodes and 2D codes - and expand classic data transmission as an IT interface: With the BVS Ident-Sensor USB, Balluff is expanding its portfolio with a small sensor variant.
The codereader quickly transfers content to the IT system and tracks goods in the logistics system. The USB interface for data transfer and power supply via a cable makes it easy to integrate. Fields of application are automated processes, for example on conveyor systems or track-and-trace applications. In manual processes, the BVS Ident-Sensor USB can replace a handheld reader as an alternative. The sensor also plays an important role in automotive production, for example in car body construction or when dealing with module and system suppliers.
Users benefit from convenient product configuration by scanning 2D programming codes, which can be generated using an online configurator.
