BEG ID Read

Read full description

The BEG ID Read is able to read datamatrix codes also on very reflective glass surfaces. Its particular use is reading laser marked datamatrix codes on glass containers, enabling the unique identification of the container. Having identified the unique container makes the container and its content traceable throughout its life – from cradle to grave. About Emhart Glass: Bucher Emhart Glass, a division of Bucher Industries AG, is headquartered in Steinhausen, Switzerland, with offices and manufacturing facilities located throughout the world. The company is a leading supplier of forming machines, inspection machines, controls, and parts to the glass container industry.
