Our module is a ring architecture of 10 industrial barcode scanners arranged around the bottle bin. Each scanner looks at a different angle; together they form 360° coverage. The consumer doesn't need to rotate the bottle to a specific orientation — the system completes the transaction at the first successful read.
Thanks to simultaneous multi-angle reading, a high read rate is achieved even with partially worn, bent or dirty labels. The result (barcode number + confidence level) is delivered to the manufacturer's control card via a standard interface; from there the product validation and deposit-decision chain begins.
