MATRIX 320 ENGINEERING HIGHLIGHTS

Why UK Engineers Specify the Datalogic Matrix 320

Wide 2MP & 5MP Field of View

Covers wide parcel conveyors and variable height cartons with a single overhead camera where two legacy scanners were once needed.

Electronic Liquid Lens Focus

Adjusts focal distance in milliseconds via software, handling mixed tall and short cartons on the same belt without mechanical wear.

Shatter Free Food Safe Optics

Polymeric protective windows eliminate glass contamination risk over open UK food, beverage, and pharmaceutical lines.

Unmatched DPM Illumination

Cross polarised, dark field, and blue/red LED rings decode low contrast laser and dot peen marks on shiny machined metal.

360° Diagnostic Light Halo

Line supervisors see green pass rates or red label fault alerts from the far end of the production hall.

Zero Install Browser Setup

Open the Matrix 320's IP address in any browser to view live camera images, read rate histograms, and no read saved frames.

Saves 'No Read' Failure Images

Automatically archives a snapshot whenever a damaged or missing supplier barcode passes, proving root cause instantly.

Native PLC & PoE Wiring

Built in PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PoE simplify electrical cabinet and conveyor sorter integration.

Hybrid Barcode + RFID Tunnels

Combined by GJBS with fixed UHF RFID readers to verify both printed outer case barcodes and internal RFID tags simultaneously.

HANDS FREE CONVEYOR, PALLETISER & PRINT VERIFY

100% Automated Inline Verification at Full Production & Conveyor Speed

An unreadable or wrong product barcode leaving your factory triggers costly supermarket chargebacks and recalls. Mounted inline after your thermal printer or above dispatch conveyors, the Matrix 320 verifies every single pack and fires a GPIO/PLC reject gate if a label is missing, smudged, or mismatched.

HYBRID BARCODE + UHF RFID TUNNELS

Link Optical Outer Label Reads with Internal UHF RFID Contents

GJBS engineers combine the Datalogic Matrix 320 with fixed UHF RFID portals so when a sealed carton travels down the belt, AR-Trace cross checks the outer GS1-128 shipping barcode against every RFID tagged item inside.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

Matrix 320 Buyer & Engineering FAQs

Should we choose the 2MP or 5MP Datalogic Matrix 320?

The 2MP model (1920×1080) handles the vast majority of high speed carton conveyors and DPM cells. Step up to the 5MP model when covering extra wide conveyor belts or reading tiny codes across large variable box heights.

How does the Matrix 320 handle boxes of different heights on the same conveyor?

Paired with its electronic liquid lens autofocus (and optional distance sensor), it refocusses dynamically in milliseconds between low trays and tall cartons.

Is the Matrix 320 suitable for food and pharmaceutical packaging lines?

Yes, its IP65/IP67 washdown housing and non glass polymeric front cover meet strict UK food and pharma hygiene standards.

Can GJBS help specify the right lens and mounting height for our conveyor?

Yes! Click Enquire for Prices or call 01604 496650 with your belt width, belt speed, and smallest barcode size, our engineers calculate the exact optical setup.
