Axicon Barcode Verifiers
Measure the Quality of Printed Barcodes Throughout the Supply Chain
Measure the Quality of Printed Barcodes Throughout the Supply Chain
Axicon has developed a wide range of verifiers to ensure that the quality of printed barcodes in use throughout the supply chain can be measured and graded. The Axicon verifier portfolio includes solutions for point-of-sale barcode verifiers, mid-range barcode verifiers, traded unit barcode verifiers, high-speed range verifiers, 1D/2D barcode verifiers, in-line barcode verifiers, portable barcode verifiers, and industrial IP-50 & IP-65 rated verifiers.

Point of sale barcode verifier is designed to verify small linear barcodes
The Axicon 6100-S point-of-sale barcode verifier is designed to verify small linear barcodes (with a maximum length, including quiet zones, of 69 mm or 2.7″ ) typically used on products scanned at the retail point-of-sale, or pharmaceutical products scanned at the point-of-care. These barcodes include EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 39, Code 128, HIBC, GS1 DataBar, GS1-128, CIP 39 and Laetus Pharmacode*. This verifier is perfect for product manufacturers, label printers, printers and packagers, and pre-press studios.
The ‘S’ range of Axicon verifiers has a continuous scan feature, which means that obtaining at least ten different readings throughout the height of the barcode (as required by ISO/IEC) is much faster. Simply place the verifier slightly above or below the barcode, press the trigger and slide the verifier over the code – in less than a second you can have results of up to 100 scans of the code at different points in the bar height.
Linear, 2D, ISO/IEC-compliant barcode verification
The Axicon 15000 series is a linear and 2D barcode verifier. The system uses a special array of LEDs and a CCD-based sensor to capture each barcode image before it is analyzed. It is able to verify multiple barcodes in the same field of view, whether they are 2D or linear codes, and the user sees the results for each barcode by selecting the relevant barcode on the screen. QR Code, GS1 QR Code, Data Matrix and GS1 DataMatrix symbols can all be verified, as can any EAN/UPC, ITF-14, GS1-128, Code 128, or Code 39 symbol. The software also includes the option to analyze captured images of direct part marked Data Matrix and QR-Code symbols according to the ISO/IEC 29158 standard for checking the quality of those marks. The Axicon 15000 series verifiers are powered solely from the USB2 port of a computer, so it is portable when used with a laptop computer.
Why Should you Choose Axicon?
Each verifier is designed to reduce the effect of ambient light on the accuracy of the readings, and will not damage the barcode being verified. The positions of the LEDs and the CCD-based sensor are fixed to make sure that the correct angle of illumination is used, and this is one reason why the verifiers produce consistent and repeatable accurate results. The international ISO/IEC standards for barcode print quality and barcode verifiers stipulate how each size of the barcode should be assessed, and Axicon verifiers automatically adjust the sampling area (referred to by different aperture reference numbers) required to do this.
-
The Software: The results of each verification are analyzed and displayed very clearly, and the Axicon software is continually developed to make using the verifiers as simple and as helpful as possible. Very detailed information is available from each scan for experienced users, and much simpler pass or fail options can be provided for those who only want to know if each symbol is good enough. The verifiers can provide results using the 4-0 scale defined by the ISO/IEC standards, but if you prefer to use the A-D, and F for the fail scale used by the equivalent ANSI standard this is also possible.
-
Data Analysis: The data content of each barcode can also be analyzed by optional plugins that are added to the software. These can check, for example, that the data is valid for a particular application and formatted correctly. This analysis can also be linked to your product database to check that a valid product number is being encoded and that any dates are accurate.
-
Calibration: Any verifier must be calibrated regularly to ensure it is working correctly, and that all calibration records are automatically logged. The software will prompt users to recalibrate after a certain period, and it is possible to prevent uncalibrated equipment from being used.

Barcode Tracking Systems
Barcode Tracking Systems leverage barcode technology to automatically identify and track objects, assets, or individuals. Utilizing barcode labels or tags affixed to items, this system involves the optical scanning of barcodes by barcode scanners or readers. This approach is particularly valuable in applications like manufacturing, inventory management, and supply chain logistics, offering a reliable means to monitor and trace items throughout their lifecycle.
