Cognex introduced a new line of Solutions Experience (SLX) devices for the logistics industry, comprising three application‑specific models: SLX‑280D, SLX‑290, and SLX‑3816.
The SLX‑3816 offers barcode capture, image capture, and package detection in a single system, while the SLX‑280D focuses on barcode reading in zone routing and tote inspection, and the SLX‑290 delivers high‑performance classification and barcode reading.
The devices feature a shared web‑based guided user interface that allows non‑technical staff to set up the system quickly, and on‑device firmware updates that simplify mass deployments, aiming to lower the barrier to entry for smaller logistics operators.
Cognex claims the SLX line will improve operational equipment effectiveness (OEE) and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) through AI‑powered item detection and a user‑friendly design, positioning the company to capture additional revenue streams in the logistics automation market.
The launch is part of Cognex’s strategy to expand its market reach beyond traditional high‑tech manufacturers and to support long‑term growth in a high‑growth vertical.
