Reliable and Robust

Identification with machine vision software

MVTec’s machine vision technologies enable reliable identification of products, components, and packaging across a wide range of industries. Using MVTec software, machines can read barcodes, 2D codes (e.g., QR or Aztec codes), and alphanumeric characters and use this information for inventory management, material flow, process control, and quality assurance.
