With the "Text-Genius" and "Text-Genius Plus" licenses, SIMATIC MV440 can be used for text recognition (in addition to reading 1D bar codes and 2D matrix codes). Text recognition is also referred to as OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Simultaneous reading and comparing of plain text and reading of machine-readable codes in the same image field is thus possible.

"Text-Genius" allows text recognition without training for a number of character sets by using generic algorithms, and thus reading without a preparatory phase.

Text-Genius Plus

The "Text-Genius Plus" license comprises all functions of the "Text-Genius" license and additionally enables training of further fonts and characters, including special characters and graphic symbols.

Licenses

The licenses are supplied as a "Single License" on a USB flash drive and can be copied to the device with the SIMATIC Automation License Manager (ALM) using a plug-in. The "Text-Genius" license is executable on a SIMATIC MV440 with firmware version 3.0 and higher, the "Text-Genius Plus" license with Firmware version 5.0 and higher.

Область применения



Applications for text recognition span across almost all sectors. The application areas can be generally divided in three task areas:

• Text recognition for recording the content of a plain text identification.
• Comparison of the content of a plain text identification with the content of the adjacent machine-readable identification, e.g. Data Matrix Code (DMC).
• Comparison of the content of a plain text identification with individually specified values which are transferred to the reader similar to a printer.

Applications for different sectors are listed below. The list is incomplete and only serves to illustrate the wide range of possible applications.

Automobile industry, aerospace industry

• Detection and checking of plain text identifiers for type identification of components
• Comparison of DMC and plain text
• Acquisition of a unique identification of a product (serialization)
• Acquisition and checking the expiry date

Medical equipment

• Laser markings on implants (DPM)
• Laser markings on medical devices (DPM).

Electronics

• Acquisition of a unique plain text identification for identifying devices, e.g. electricity meters
• Detection and checking of plain text identifiers for type identification of PCBs
• Solar industry (serial numbers on thin-layer modules)
• Acquisition of a unique plain text identifier on thin-layer modules - serialization

Food and beverage industry

• Inspection of expiry date on packaging
• Control of packaging and storage processes

"Text-Genius" and "Text-Genius Plus" can be used anywhere where environmental conditions permit the use of SIMATIC MV440 code readers. For details, see "SIMATIC MV440". Standard ring lights and lenses are designed to achieve IP67 degree of protection by means of the protective barrel, and for glass-free use in the food and beverages industry. If light sources or lenses are used outside the protective barrel, they must be used in compliance with their specification.

The "text recognition" function can be implemented in applications without the need to consider the type of font used for marking (Polyfont) or the marking method. The fonts which enable a maximum read rate to be achieved are listed in the "Function" chapter. Further fonts and additional characters can be added to Text-Genius Plus at any time by training. No marking methods are excluded either. The read rate improves if the font has a stable appearance and when there is a good contrast between the background and marking.
