Solve a wider range of track and trace applications using iVu BCR Series barcode readers. Algorithms included in the latest firmware for the iVu BCR Series improve the decoding capabilities of these imager-based barcode readers. These improvements make the iVu BCR Series a more versatile and robust solution capable of reading more barcodes and solving more applications in more industries.

The iVu BCR Series adds the Code 93, GS1 DataBar, and PDF417 barcode types to the broad spectrum of supported barcodes. This opens up new opportunities for iVu BCR Series barcode readers to solve applications in the postal, pharmaceutical, and inventory management markets where these barcodes are widely used. The iVu BCR Series supports the barcode types listed below.

The improved algorithms included in the release of Vision Manager 1.8.0 (firmware 2.6.0) enhance the decoding capabilities of the iVu BCR Series, enabling more good reads on damaged, distorted, and other difficult-to-read barcodes. This minimizes disruptions on the line, reduces product loss, and ensures reliable data collection and improved traceability throughout the supply chain. The iVu BCR Series will reliably decode the challenging barcodes pictured below.

iVu BCR Series barcode readers solve a wide range of track and trace applications for the automotive, electronics, packaging, material handling, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as others. Common applications include:
