Highlights of Text-Genius and Text-Genius Plus at a glance

• Quick and reliable reading (up to than 2000 readings per minute depending on the application) for high-speed applications.
• Fast and reliable checking of the readability of plain text (up to 1000 reads per minute) for high-speed applications.
• Flexible reading and swapping between different fonts (e.g. OCR A, OCR B) without complex learning using Polyfont character set.
• High reading rate and reliability through saving of fonts on the camera.
• Reading and comparison of plain text and machine-readable code in the same image field.
• Automatic position tracking of the reading range with the resources of "Pat-Genius".
• Automatic text localization without the use of predefined areas means that text can be read even when its position varies.
• Automatic line detection for max. 12 freely definable image regions with max. 15 lines.
• Automatic character height recognition between 15 and 220 pixels.
• Individual parameterization per image region.
• Reading of mirrored, 90° rotated, and inverted text.
• Numerous filter and comparison functions.
• Comparison of text recognition result with an individually specified text per read operation.
• Flexible retrofitting of the text recognition function via the SIMATIC Automation License Manager
• Simple integration in the automation environment, e.g. via function block of the SIMATIC MV440 devices.

Additional highlights of Text-Genius Plus:

• Simple training of additional characters and fonts (user fonts).
• Adaptation of text recognition by user fonts to the specific requirements of the application to enable:
  • Expansion of defined fonts by missing characters, e.g. special characters.
  • Optimization of recognition for specific printing procedures (e.g. laser, ink, scribed, needled).
  • Optimization of recognition by using different versions of individual characters, e.g. to compensate distortions.
• Up to five user fonts can be used in the reader.
• Very high read reliability can be achieved (> 99.5%).
