Founded in 1995 by Glenn Spitz, Webscan specialized in developing high-accuracy 1D, 2D, and Direct Part Marking (DPM) barcode verifiers. The company established a strong reputation in the medical, packaging and defense industries ensuring barcodes meet strict ISO/IEC standards.
Cognex Corporation acquired Webscan in 2017, adding verification capabilities to its well-established barcode reading product line.
Today, Cognex verifiers are used for ISO and DPM quality compliance with applicable industry standards to provide detailed, auditable reports for packaging, pharma, and industrial applications.
All Cognex verifiers are camera-based quality tools that specifically identify the root causes of barcode problems so they can be addressed and corrected.

Desktop unit. The TruCheck 2D Omni™ has the largest field of view of any barcode verifier on the market (up to 6 inches wide). Verify your largest and smallest 1D and 2D codes with the same unit, and get accurate results every time. Inspect multiple barcodes at the same time.
Hand held verifier. The TruCheck Optima™ from Webscan provides a fully integrated and hand-held imaging head that connects to a PC through the USB port. To verify 1D or 2D symbols, simply position the imager over a barcode and press the button. Clear and concise results are displayed instantly. The graphic interface shows operators clearly where potential problems exist. The TruMatrix imager features integrated illumination and a rugged housing. There is nothing to focus and nothing to align.
High-performance direct part mark (DPM) code quality verifier. The
DataMan® 8072 series verifier is packed with powerful lighting options, robust
grading algorithms, a high-speed processing engine, and a high-resolution camera to capture and grade the most difficult DPM codes. Combined with simple DataMan Setup Tool software, DataMan 8072 verifiers deliver detailed,
repeatable results.
6.0 mil minimum x-dimension.
Base unit that integrates into a production line for inline high speed verification. The DataMan® 475V series inline barcode verifier can grade up to 20 codes per second. High-speed 100% verification and quality reporting can be done directly on your production line, preventing product waste and costly chargebacks. Immediate feedback and intuitive visual diagnostics provide operators with the ability to identify and correct printing and process control issues as they happen. For every code verified, detailed reports can be archived
to ensure traceability, statistical process control, and compliance.
Stand alone desktop verifier. Works well in a QC station environment for all linear and 2D codes. The adjustable stand and embedded software focusing provides users with an easy, fast, and accurate way to present labels and parts. Safeguard and secure code-reading results and obtain the best images with ISO
compliant, multi-quadrant lighting options.
