As smart manufacturing advances, the fusion of augmented reality (AR) with traditional industrial equipment has opened new pathways for efficiency and precision. Han’s Laser, a global leader in laser and marking solutions, introduces an innovative Smart Optical Terminal Coding System—a platform that seamlessly integrates AR technology with traditional inkjet coding. The system significantly enhances product identification, traceability, and automated visual inspection on the production line.
Unlocking New Capabilities with AR Integration
The Smart Optical Terminal Coding System is more than just an upgrade—it’s a transformation. By combining real-time machine vision, factory digitalization, and flexible code customization, this system offers unprecedented levels of adaptability, quality assurance, and traceability in modern manufacturing.
Key Advantages
1.Intelligent Detection
Equipped with a high-resolution CCD visual system, the machine can automatically detect the orientation of incoming products. If misaligned, the system identifies and rejects them instantly—ensuring proper positioning before any marking operation begins.
2.Seamless MES Integration
The coding system communicates directly with the factory’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES), allowing automated data exchange. Every code printed is traceable and stored in real-time, enabling full production transparency and compliance with digital manufacturing requirements.
3.Flexible Code Customization
The system supports a wide range of code types: text, images, barcodes, QR codes, anti-counterfeit codes, databases, Hanxin codes, dot matrix codes, vector lines, and more. Custom functionalities can also be developed based on client-specific requirements.
4.Modular and Scalable Production
Designed with flexibility in mind, the system supports both manual loading/unloading and modular fixtures. It can also be expanded to integrate robotic handling or inline conveyor systems, offering a scalable path toward fully automated production.
5.Safe and User-Friendly Operation
Powered by an industrial PC and equipped with a clean, intuitive interface, the system ensures ease of use. Full enclosure safety shielding, access control, and safety interlocks provide reliable operator protection.
Application Scenarios
1.Pharmaceutical Industry
Challenge: High-resolution, tamper-proof coding on small-format packaging such as ampoules and medicine boxes.
Solution: The system prints 12-mil (or higher) regulatory codes directly onto cartons or aluminum blister packs. Optical verification ensures code completeness and quality—detecting missing characters or ghosting—thus meeting GSP compliance standards.
2.Electronics Industry
Challenge: Micro-scale marking and robust traceability on components like PCB boards, smartphone parts, and batteries.
Solutions:
Micro QR Code Marking: Print 0.2 mm QR codes on SMT components with real-time vision inspection to guarantee readability downstream in assembly or testing stages.
3D Surface Adaptation: For curved or complex surfaces such as smartphone backs (glass or ceramic), the system dynamically adjusts the printhead angle based on 3D contour recognition—ensuring distortion-free code placement.
A Path Toward Smarter Manufacturing
Han’s Laser continues to lead in combining emerging technologies with industrial reliability. Looking forward, the Smart Optical Terminal Coding System will evolve even further by integrating AI-based vision algorithms (e.g., deep-learning defect detection) and 5G + Industrial IoT capabilities, enabling faster data upload and smarter decision-making.
These advancements pave the way for broader adoption across high-demand sectors such as new energy, aerospace, and precision electronics—where accurate, traceable, and intelligent coding is vital.
