Artemis Vision RaPTr (Rapid Pallet Tracker) | System Set-Up Guide
6
REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Barcode Requirements:
RaPTr is most effective with 2D barcodes (Data Matrix) with a minimum module size of
4mm. See below for a 14 x 14 datamatrix at the recommended module size of 4mm.
Other configurations are possible; contact Artemis Vision for details.
Lighting Recommendations:
The Artemis Vision system can automatically adjust the camera exposure in software,
but generally speaking, the more light the better. Low-light situations can affect scan
accuracy, and have an impact on the maximum speed the driver can be moving during
scanning. Artemis Vision recommends at least 300 Lux at the scanning face of the pallet.
This is about the equivalent of a well-lit office or retail environment. An inexpensive
light meter can help you determine if you need to add more light, but most warehouse
operations have adequate lighting due to standard safety requirements.
Additional Physical Location Recommendations:
For maximum efficiency and scanning success, Artemis Vision recommends placing
“guides” with tape or paint lines to demarcate the preferred drive path for forklift
operators as they approach the door. A simple line on the left and right to mark the Scan
Area, and two lines to designate the Scan Zone min and max area should suffice. Once
operators have become accustomed to these locations, it will become routine for them
to approach and slow down moderately for scanning to occur.
