Use and Application
Intended Use
This device, when used together with a Data Matrix code tape affixed to the floor, constitutes a
high-resolution lane tracking and positioning system. It can be used in all applications where
auto-guided transport systems are to be positioned precisely at marked positions along a given
lane.
The read head forms part of the positioning system in the Fuchs incident light pro-
cess. The read head includes a camera module and an internal illumination unit, which the read
head uses to detect a strip of Data Matrix code tape stuck to the floor for lane tracking and nav-
igation. The read head also detects Data Matrix tags to navigate within a grid.
The read head is located on an auto-guided transport system and guides this system along the
Data Matrix code tape.
