Editorial

A barcode system is a network of hardware and software which is used to automate data collection, where hand recoding is neither timely nor cost effective.

The CLV620 and CLV630 line of barcode scanners, recently launched by SICK, are unique for their speed, power, flexibility, and ease of use. These scanners are compact, yet powerful new tools for a wide range of logistics applications, such as distribution warehouses, high-speed packaging, and parcel/postal operations.
