System overview
Easy Reader Control Console
Barcode and QR verification with HMI feedback and configurable outputs
The Easy Reader Control Console is a standalone unit used to add barcode/QR verification to workstations or production lines. It supports job setup for expected codes, provides clear pass/fail feedback on an HMI, and outputs results for alarms, line stops, or reject actions as scoped.
Reader selection and interface details are application-driven and confirmed during scoping.
What it solves
- Reduces label/code mismatches by enforcing verification at the point of use
- Adds scan confirmation to legacy workstations without rebuilding the entire control system
- Provides clear operator feedback plus standard recordkeeping outputs
How it works
- Connect the selected barcode/QR reader (interface confirmed during scoping).
- Configure the expected code(s) or code format for the job.
- During operation, the console evaluates each read as match/mismatch/read-error.
- The HMI displays status clearly for the operator.
- Outputs can trigger alarms, line stops, or reject actions depending on the workflow.
Capabilities
- Job setup for expected code(s)
- Real-time HMI feedback
- Configurable outputs for pass/fail and read status
- Standard pass/fail logging
- Standard CSV export
Optional features (scope-dependent)
- Image capture/storage (only if paired with imaging hardware and required)
- Database/MES hooks
- Fieldbus: EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, EtherCAT
- Additional PLC I/O handshakes for integration with upstream/downstream equipment
- User access levels / audit trail behavior when required
