DATAMAN 580
ANY CODE, EVERY TIME
Fixed-mount barcode reader for
high-speed logistics applications
DATAMAN 580
High-speed code reading for your most
challenging logistics applications
Achieve greater throughput and read rates by incorporating the DataMan® 580
into your Cognex Modular Vision Tunnel. Through advanced hardware and
intuitive software, the DataMan 580 provides precise multi-symbology reading
while supporting high-speed lines and short package gaps.
The DataMan 580 empowers your sortation operations to:
▪ Read more symbologies, faster using advanced decoding
algorithms optimized for multi-code and multi-symbology labels
▪ Boost throughput by running your line at high speeds with short gaps
▪ Improve traceability and assess vendor compliance in real
time by verifying label dimensions and placement
▪ Streamline integration with simple setup and maintenance tools
designed for multi-reader systems

Twice the coverage,
without the tradeoffs
Simplify and cost-reduce your scanning solutions with optimal
coverage across wide conveyors, while acquiring images
fast enough to accommodate the highest speed lines. The
DataMan 580’s high-resolution 9MP sensor enables greater
field-of-view and depth-of-field coverage to support the most
demanding sortation applications.

Linear scanning system DataMan 580 area scan system
The best image, every time
Conventional linear scanning systems struggle to read
packages that have uncontrolled movement or irregular shapes,
which can distort images and lower read rates. The DataMan
580’s high-resolution area scan sensor ensures optimal
images and high read rates, regardless of the material handling
environment. No-read Good read
Package movement, irregular object Package movement, irregular object
Decode multi-symbology labels with Simultaneously read
unmatched speed multiple codes, labels,
and packages
Conventional barcode reading solutions require slower
conveyor lines to effectively read multiple labels and
symbologies on each package, reducing throughput.
The DataMan 580 leverages 1D/2D QuickSort™, a proprietary
algorithm that empowers Cognex Modular Vision Tunnels to
decode up to three times faster than conventional methods.

HDR+
HDR+ is an innovative algorithm that expands the capabilities of HDR technology by increasing localized contrast

Multi-reader sync with full resolution
image offload
Multi-reader sync (MRS) synchronizes multiple readers for
extended field-of-view coverage or multi-side scanning. The
primary reader collects data from secondary readers and
communicates the results to the control system. Onboard
high-speed connectivity allows a DataMan 580 MRS network to
easily offload all relevant images while maintaining image quality.
Synchronized code reading and image offload.

Deploy high-speed sortation,
quickly and easily
DataMan 580 is designed for the Cognex Modular
Vision Tunnel and allows for fast deployment of
five- and six-sided code reading solutions.
Adapt to changing needs with
flexible configurations
Each Cognex Modular Vision Tunnel contains
barcode reading modules and hardware components
that can be easily modified and scaled to support
changing business and application needs. This
adaptable system allows you to:
▪ Swap out reader modules to accomodate
different barcodes and package sizes, or
increased line speed
▪ Add new symbologies such as 2D
DataMatrix codes
▪ Upgrade to the latest vision and barcode
reading technology

Many conventional barcode reading
solutions require significant gaps
between packages, restricting
throughput to ensure only one object
