Verification systems

By using verification systems, the readability of marks is guaran-

teed throughout the entire production process, regardless of any

possible contamination or when using different readers. More-

over, the marking can continue to be read after the production

process throughout the lifespan of the product.

In addition to reading 1D bar codes and 2D matrix codes,

SIMATIC MV440 can be expanded at any time with verification

functionality using the "Veri-Genius" verification license. The

license is supplied as a "Single License" on a USB stick and can

be copied to the SIMATIC MV440 with the SIMATIC Automation

License Manager (ALM) using a plug-in. The license is execut-

able on any SIMATIC MV440 as of firmware version 4.0.

Optical character recognition

With the "Text Genius" OCR license, SIMATIC MV440 can also be

used for optical character recognition (OCR) in addition to read-

ing 1D bar codes and 2D matrix codes. It is also possible to read

and compare plain text and machine-readable code in the same

image field.

The license is supplied as a "Single License" on a USB stick and

can be copied to the device with the SIMATIC Automation

License Manager (ALM) using a plug-in. The license runs on ev-

ery SIMATIC MV440, firmware version 3.0 or higher.

Object recognition

With the "Pat Genius" object recognition license, SIMATIC MV440

can also be used for object recognition (object classification,

position detection, counting, etc.) in addition to reading 1D bar

codes and 2D matrix codes. In addition, the functionality is pos-

sible in combination with text recognition, for example, thus en-

abling position control of a label and control of the labeling

(reading and comparison) of plain text in an image field.

The license is supplied as a "Single License" on a USB stick and

can be copied to the device with the SIMATIC Automation

License Manager (ALM) using a plug-in. The license runs on ev-

ery SIMATIC MV440.
