The solution includes a new model in Datalogic’s P-Series smart camera and a graphical user interface that provides setup and configuration for any OCR application. The IMPACT P19 smart camera features a 1.3 MPixel global shutter CMOS image sensor with a 5.3 µm pixel size that can achieve a frame rate up to 60 fps.
