The co. reports that its PresencePLUS® P4 OMNI with bar code and P4 BCR vision sensors now read dot-peen bar codes. With a dot-peened Data Matrix® bar code applied directly, the co. notes, manufacturers needn't worry about a label falling off, and adds that the sensors, in standard and high-resolution, 1.3-megapixel models, read even partially damaged bar codes and read virtually any surface when used with appropriate lighting.
