Components

Peripherals

Product Name	role
3D-A1000 Dimension	AI-based 3D dimensioning and damage detection
DataMan 3816	High-speed multicode reading (1D/2D barcode)
In-Sight 3816	AI-based 2D parcel classification
SLX-3816	AI-based parallel detection and large top barcode reading

Workflow

STEP 1.	As products enter the logistics line, the 3D-A1000 performs a 3D scan to measure the quantity, dimensions, and orientation of the items, while simultaneously securing the precise location for label application
STEP 2.	The DataMan 3816 simultaneously reads multiple 1D/2D barcodes attached to products on the conveyor at high speeds, transmitting product data to the system in real-time
STEP 3.	Using AI-based classification algorithms, the In-Sight 3816 automatically recognizes and categorizes cargo types, continuously improving classification precision through accumulated training data
STEP 4.	The SLX-3816 identifies misaligned packages by detecting side-by-side or partially overlapping objects and reads large top-side barcodes to ensure the products are routed to the correct destination
STEP 5.	Data collected from each vision system is transferred to an integrated management system for real-time monitoring and production history (traceability) management

Features

Maximizing Inspection Precision with AI-Powered Vision

Equipped with Cognex’s deep learning and edge learning-based AI algorithms, the system performs tasks that are difficult for traditional rule-based vision systems—such as irregular pattern recognition, damage detection, and cargo classification—with high accuracy. Inspection precision continuously improves as more training data is accumulated.

Flexible Integration of Robots and Vision

The Cognex vision product line available on the Marosol Store supports seamless integration with various industrial robots and logistics systems. Through robot guidance functions, the system provides precise position data, enabling robotic systems to handle and route products with maximum efficiency.

Rapid Deployment and Operation by Non-Experts

Thanks to the "Point-and-Shoot" design and web-based guided UI, the system can be installed and configured in minutes, even without a specialized vision engineer. The 3D-A1000 can be set up in under 15 minutes, and the SLX series eliminates the need for separate software installation through browser-based configuration.

Scalability and Integrated Management

Multi-device management features allow for centralized firmware updates and configuration changes across an entire logistics facility, ensuring efficient operation even in large-scale automated environments. Additionally, performing barcode reading and AI inspection on a single device reduces the total number of units required and lowers maintenance costs.

Results

Key Benefits	Maximizing Throughput & Minimizing Errors: The AI-based system achieves a barcode read rate of over 99.9% even on high-speed lines. Side-by-side detection preemptively prevents misalignment and double-delivery errors, significantly boosting overall logistics efficiency by minimizing manual intervention. Automated Quality Inspection & Precision: Deep learning-based classification algorithms automatically recognize cargo types, while 3D scanning detects oversized items and damage. This prevents defective cargo from moving to downstream processes and ensures high quality reliability.
Client Feedback	Being able to access Cognex vision products through the Marosol Store made it much easier to evaluate the combination of robotics and vision. Thanks to the AI-powered vision solutions, our inspection speed and precision have improved significantly compared to conventional vision systems, allowing us to respond flexibly to various changes in product conditions.

Recommended Solution

Plastic Injection Molded Part Transport using Twinny NarGo 100

This logistics automation solution utilizes the Twinny NarGo 100 AMR to automate the transport of large plastic injection molded products to subsequent process stages. Equipped with triple safety sensors and advanced autonomous driving technology, Twinny's NarGo 100 performs tasks safely even in factories with complex layouts and high worker traffic. Previously, transporting heavy workpieces weighing around 100kg to a distant finished goods warehouse was time-consuming, causing idle time in processing and reducing productivity due to worker fatigue. Since implementing the autonomous robot, continuous processing has become possible, and worker fatigue has been significantly reduced, leading to an overall boost in productivity.
