Figure 88 – PackTrack™ System Layout
Working in PackTrack™ mode requires the presence of an encoder and a presence sensor
to track the moving packs.
For correct functioning, the PackTrack™ operating mode requires a calibration just after the
installation of the scanners. This operation is absolutely necessary to accurately locate
barcodes on a fixed reference system.
PackTrack uses a right-handed reference system (right hand with thumb = X axis; forefinger
= Y axis; middle finger = Z axis) where the X axis coincides with the PS line, the Y axis
coincides with the conveyor direction and the Z axis is oriented upwards from the conveyor
(see figure below).
PackTrack™ Reference System
Figure 89 – PackTrack™ Reference System
This coordinate system is absolute for the reading station, i.e. is valid for all the scanners
independently from their position or orientation with respect to the conveyor. For this reason,
after the PackTrack™ calibration (and configuration) has been correctly performed, when a
barcode is under the beam to be read by the scanners, its position is defined by the
