DS8100 TECHNOLOGIES ASTRA™ (Automatically SwiTched Reading Area) is the Datalogic patented solu- tion to a fundamental need in the Material Handling sector: to read medium-high density bar codes in a large reading area on very fast conveyors. In order to increase the processes’ throughputs, today’s conveyors go faster and faster, while the distance between two objects becomes shorter and shorter. Following this technological trend, the conveyor systems must be fitted with Auto-ID equipment able to read simultaneously ( in the same scan line) two bar code labels placed, for instance, on two parcels with different heights. This need is not compatible with bar code readers based on dynamic or mechanical focusing systems that, with more than a 20 msec focus setting time, cannot read bar code labels placed at different distances simultaneously. A fixed mounted optic lens and the elimination of any kind of mechanical focusing systems allows ASTRA™ technology to com- pletely overcomes today’s limitations. ASTRA™ technology offers a depth of field of 1,000 mm (40 in) on 0.3 mm (0.12 in) res- olution codes, and a depth of field of 1,500 mm (60 in) on 0.5 mm (0.20 in) resolution codes. ASTRA™ is based on a multi-laser architecture and a fixed mounted optic system that concentrates the multiple laser emissions in a single laser beam, increasing the reading capability of a single scanner and providing an extended depth of field. Each laser emitter is focused on a specific range of the reading area and selected by means of a sophisticated electronic controller based on the actual position of the code to be read. The ASTRA™ system puts together, in just one scanner, the reading performance of many readers, with many benefits not only in performance but also in terms of reliability and durability. By using fixed mounted optics and avoiding moving lens or mechanical focusing systems, ASTRA™ supports high mechanical vibrations and doesn’t need periodical and frequent maintenance service. ASTRA™: Outstanding reading performance using advanced fixed mounted optic architecture TECHNOLOGIES ACR™ technology (Advanced Code Reconstruction) performs bar code image reconstruction and decoding on small dimension labels placed on parcels with any orientation. ACR™ is the basis for the implementation of powerful omni-directional reading stations. Datalogic ACR™ 3rd generation technology features a new powerful multiprocessor architecture and improved algorythms. ACR™ works in real time, collecting partial slices of the code to be read to reconstruct a complete code. The ACR™ software algorythm offers maximum efficiency and decoding reliability. It performs multiple code reading and is not dependent on the label aspect ratio. ACR™ technology also enhances the readability of poorly printed or damaged codes providing a great advantage in all reading conditions. Advanced Code Reconstruction SQUARE CD ™ (Code Distance Detector) is a revolutionary technology allowing accurate detection of bar code label positioning wherever the bar code is located, independent of the object shape. SQUARE The CD ™ system analyses the analog signal collected by the photodiode receiver, and identifies the area in which the code is located. It then measures the code distance from the scanner. All these operations are done in real time for multiple bar codes and for every scan up to a maximum of 2000 scans. SQUARE The information provided by CD ™ is used to optimize decoding processing and perform object tracking, as well as offering the possibility to provide information about the object's shape or dimensions. Code Distance Detector PackTrack™ is a DL patented system for parcel tracking supported by the DS8100 omnidirectional reading stations. Thanks to a sophisticated controller, PackTrack™ tracks the parcels as they pass through the reading station, matching the codes to the correct box. PackTrack™ can manage the most demanding applications, such as 6-sided reading systems, where traditional systems are unable to detect the real position of the code, necessary for tracking (for instance bar code labels on baggage in airport applications). Today, the limitations of these applications are overcome by SQUARE CD ™ and PackTrack™ that assure 100% correct bar code assignment with 50 mm minimum gap between objects. PackTrack™ eliminates the need for external accessories required by the traditional tracking systems, such as photocells, encoders and height detector barriers, making installation and setting of the whole transport system less expensive, faster and easier.

DS8100 is fitted with 3 serial interfaces for high speed communication, 6 Input/Output signals, and LCD display for local data visualisation. DS8100 is used for applications on a conveyors or a palleting system, requiring top reading performance. A built-in Advanced Code Reconstruction (ACR™) decoder allows reading of excessively titled bar codes and assures the highest reading rates on damaged or poorly printed labels. Omni-directional reading stations Thanks to Datalogic’s exclusive technologies, DS8100 offers extraordinary features and performance that are particularly important for multi-side reading omni-stations. The DS8100’s reading performance reduces to a minimum the number of scan heads used in the scanning array, provides a 1 x 1 m (40 x 40 in) reading area, allows transportation speeds up to 5 m/sec. The standard 3-side and 5-side reading omni-stations are fitted with the Datalogic SC8000 system controller which performs real time data collection and provides general control of the station. DS8100 multi-side omni-stations are very easy to install, easy to use and maintenance free. Automatic baggage handling and cargo applications Uniting the knowledge and the experience obtained from hundreds of installations, with the DS8100’s advanced technologies and performance, Datalogic has defined innovative solutions for baggage handling and cargo applications. With more than a 1,500 mm (59 in) depth of field on IATA standard labels, DS8100 represents the new reference point for Automatic-ID in airports.

The DS8100 omni-station system is based on the XMF-10 and XMF-20 mount- ing frames, whose purpose is to allow easy installation of the omni-directional reading station on conveyors by four fixing points. The typical reading configu- rations based on the XMF-10 are single-cross (two scanners positioned at 90 degrees) and ‘delta’ (three scanners positioned at 60 degrees). The XMF-20 allows cross configurations to be doubled across the conveyor. A line of brackets including standard L-shaped and fast release is available to simplify installation and maintenance operation. Datalogic also offers a line of dedicated power supply units and a complete set of prepared cables making it extremely simple to integrate the reading station on the conveyors.
