Cognex's Deep Learning OCR tool can use a pre-trained built-in font library of over 1,000 characters to read curved strings, low contrast characters, as well as distorted, skewed, and poorly etched barcodes. The OCR tool also provides a re-training capability, allowing users to solve new or specific characters that cannot be automatically identified on the first pass. Quickly and accurately reading chip identification numbers not only improves traceability, but also ensures the correct information is captured for future reference when needed.
