Item Detection background conveyor with 3d-a1000

3D-A1000 Item Detection System

Detects and reports status of objects on logistics sorter trays

3D-A1000 Item Detection System Features

The 3D-A1000 Item Detection system is a compact and industrial 3D + 2D motion-capable smart camera used for identifying presence or absence of objects on sorters. Patented 3D technology combined with 2D inspection capabilities deliver precision at production speeds. The carrier agnostic 3D-A1000 produces higher detection rates compared to conventional detection technologies, and outputs granular data to track system performance and health.

  • Increased order accuracy
  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Increase sorter utilization
  • Prevent product loss

3D + 2D technology provides functionality beyond presence/absence

Unlike conventional methods, the 3D-A1000 uses patented 3D Symbolic Light technology to freeze motion with a single image. The system gathers precise 3D and 2D information without the need for an encoder or complex calibrations. Embedded processing then utilizes Cognex vision tools to provide detailed inspections of carrier and production.
