Trying to get image data off your Cognex Dataman?

If you need image data for computer vision or want to save camera scan data for troubleshooting, you're in luck!

With a few lines of code, any camera on your network will send a scan result containing the barcode number and image data together. You'll be back to developing the rest of your application.

No more fiddling with FTP servers.

Run Directly From Your Computer: Testing or developing without a PLC? No problem. Run the code directly from your laptop or desktop.
Supports Your Existing Hardware: All Cognex Dataman devices are supported. This includes the 80, 280, 290, 380, 370, 470, 390, and 580 series.
Speed Up Your Development Team: A robust server for a custom protocol on new hardware can take months to build, test, and debug. Save yourself months of development.
Simplify System Startup: Tired of restarting your software when a scanner is unplugged or restarts? Forced to start up each part of your system in a specific order? BarcodeSink doesn't care when your cameras are plugged in. No more commuting to reboot a system.
Works with Your Team's Development Stack: Whether you're using Java, Kotlin, Scala, Clojure, or even Matlab, enjoy interoperability! All of these platforms are supported.
Effortless Scale Up: Run over a hundred cameras simultaneously. BarcodeSink was built to scale.
Large Image Support: Struggling to pull off a megabyte of image data? We can handle any size. Display your images fast without any FTP server delay.
Stop Wasting Time Chasing Bad Hardware Connections: Sometimes a reported software bug is just a bad connection. We handle that for you. Disconnected cameras are detected within seconds. There's also a callback hook to run code on disconnect.
