How to Choose the Right Verification Solution

How to choose the right verification solution:

Cognex has three solutions to do code verification:

1. Standard verifier (475V and 8072V)
2. SBG
3. PCM

What are the differences between them?

PCM:

1. Code quality relative verification
2. No calibration
3. No standard lighting
4. Verification result can only used for internal reference
5. Different lines maybe have different result

SBG:

1. Use ISO Reference Decode Algorithm
2. Calibration selectable
3. No standard lighting
4. Report will list all the parameters result according to ISO15415 and ISO29158 except lighting 

Standard Verifier:

1. Absolute verification conform to ISO standards
2. Calibration needed
3. Both hardware and software are compliant with ISO standard
4. Report will list all the parameters result according to ISO15415 and ISO29158

 How to choose most suitable solution ?

1. Confirm with customer that they need relative verification or absolute verification, If they need absolute verification, please recommend 475V and 8072V
2. If they don't need absolute verification, we can recommend DataMan 290 and DataMan 390 with SBG
3. If the customer had DataMan 280 on hand, they can use PCM directly, if they want to better verification result, we can add SBG for them
4. If the customer had DataMan 260 on hand, we can recommend PCM
