Cognex introduces next-generation Explorer Real-Time Monitoring system

Aug. 5, 2014
Cognex Explorer Real Time Monitoring (RTM) is a DataMan barcode reader-based system that enables facility managers to identify and remove system defects in real-time.  

Cognex Explorer Real Time Monitoring (RTM) is a DataMan barcode reader-based system that enables facility managers to identify and remove system defects in real-time. The system features a scalable architecture, web-based performance statistics interface, and is a server-based product that connects to a network of DataMan readers to pull read rate information as well as images from packages. When a process error results in a package with an unread barcode, images are sent to the system, which automatically evaluates and categorizes each image with terms such as "packages with no label present" or "poorly printed labels," and stores them in a database.

The system runs Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro, features an industrial PC, Intel Celeron 2.2GHZ 1020E, and has six USB 2.0 ports, two GigE ports, and four serial ports. Explorer RTM is suitable for use in such industries such as logistics, automotive, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage.
