Benefits of the FS20
Integrate Anywhere In The Network
Multiple connectivity options easily integrate into a PLC or Host network, enabling primary scanning applications to feed all the processes that drive business. Zebra's powerful Aurora software platform makes the FS20 easy to set up, deploy and run.
Superior Scanner Reliability
Get a perfect image every time with ImagePerfect, which captures three different images on a single item, each with its own settings. Get fast capture of even damaged 1D or 2D barcodes with PRZM Intelligent Imaging.
Upgrade to a Machine Vision Smart Camera
Simply purchase a license to add core machine vision capabilities without having to purchase a new device. Automatically determine the quality of a part or item in a split second, enabling error-proofing, reducing cycle times and increasing productivity.
The primary markets/applications for the FS20 are:
- Transportation & Logistics
- Manufacturing
- Automotive
- Food & Beverage
- Medical/Pharma
- Semiconductor and Electronics
EASY TO SET UP
- Automatic Setup With Auto-Tune
Just Auto-Tune and run for consistent, reliable read rates – right out of the box. With the press of one button, Auto-Tune dials in the perfect image for faster and more accurate set up. - IoT Ready With Zebra Savanna
The IoT-ready FS20 can send images to Zebra’s subscription-based cloud service, Zebra Savanna – or any other cloud service – allowing users to meet industry regulations or store images for further analysis, all without the need to purchase and manage servers. - Power it All Over Ethernet
Reduce setup complexity and cost with support for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). This standard feature powers the FS20 and attached accessories right over the network, eliminating the cost of power drops and power supplies. Don’t have a PoE infrastructure? No problem. Users can also power the FS20 with a standard 24V DC power supply.
EASY TO DEPLOY
- Programmable Input/Output (I/O) Ports
Get the ultimate in I/O flexibility. Four digital I/O ports can be individually controlled to expand application functionality and improve error-proofing. Support additional peripherals, activate lights or trigger an action to more fully automate processes. - Ultra-Rugged and Ready for Industrial Spaces
Rely on dependable operation in the most demanding environments with an ultra-rugged design. The aluminum housing is chemical and oil resistant and IP65-sealed. - Operator Feedback/Status Indicators
With four built-in camera status LEDs – Power, Decode, Online/Run and Ethernet Status – workers can see at a glance if a decode was successful or unsuccessful, protecting product quality and traceability – and whether cameras are operational or in need of attention. In addition, a beeper with adjustable volume provides an audible cue of a successful decode, so workers can keep their eyes on the job – instead of the device. - Added Flexibility With Zebra Aurora HMI Dashboard
Give workers actionable intelligence right where they need it – at their station. Operators can see and interact with the Zebra Aurora Human Machine Interface (HMI) dashboard via any web browser. The need to install a PC at every workstation is eliminated, reducing hardware requirements and installation costs. - Simple, Easy and Fast Integration With Any Network Infrastructure
Built-in Ethernet/IP, PROFINET and other network protocols enable painless integration with any common PLC or host system. Network architecture is simplified and deployment time and cost are reduced.
EASY TO RUN
- First-Time Every-Time Data Capture
Superior optics and Zebra’s exclusive PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology work together to deliver the reliable data capture users need to keep their operations running at peak capacity. The optical system enables the simultaneous capture of multiple barcodes, extends read ranges and focal distances and allows a larger field of view to capture more information with less equipment. PRZM Intelligent Imaging is designed for the data capture demands of any environment, enabling the first-time capture of virtually any barcode in practically any condition. - Achieve High Read Rates With ImagePerfect
Uneven lighting and the need to read barcodes at various distances can create the need for additional cameras, external lights or complex custom code – additions that can substantially increase the total cost of ownership. Address it all with a groundbreaking new feature – ImagePerfect. This Zebra-exclusive feature captures up to 3 different images of a single item, each with its own unique setting for focus, exposure, gain, illumination control and more. The result? High quality images that enable high read rates. A significant reduction in solution complexity. And a lower total cost of ownership. - Capture All the Data That Drives Business
Do it all with the FS20 – 1D, 2D and DPM barcodes, plus OCR human readable characters. Choose the configuration that supports the codes that drive business processes today, knowing functionality can be added to meet the data capture needs of tomorrow. Easily add support for new barcodes symbologies and increased scanning speed to meet new business needs. And turn the FS20 into a Machine Vision Smart Camera by adding a machine vision toolset through a simple license upgrade – maximizing quality control on the production line and ensuring every product meets specification. - Rapid Troubleshooting With Golden Image Compare
If any barcode reads fail, this Zebra-only tool allows users to quickly identify and resolve the issue by comparing any image to a golden ‘perfect’ image created at setup. The source of any image degradation can be immediately diagnosed, enabling the rapid correction needed to minimize downtime – from a dirty lens or a lighting problem to misalignment of the camera. - Scan All Barcodes Simultaneously With ManyCode
Need to read multiple barcodes on an item? With one click in Zebra Aurora, users can enable ManyCode mode to capture all barcodes simultaneously, regardless of quantity, symbology or barcode data. - Complete Support Service – Everything’s Covered
