MicroHAWK engine

Modular OEM imaging engine

The MicroHAWK engine provides OEMs and machine builders with the industry's smallest, most powerful, modular and scalable automatic ID platform for solving the toughest 1D / 2D barcode reading challenges.

The MicroHAWK engine is based on Microscan's more than 30 years of experience working with the world's largest OEMs. MicroHAWK offers an unlimited combination of optics, sensors, decoders and processing performance to meet any OEM barcode reading requirements. Minimal, powerful and simple - MicroHAWK is the ideal solution for embedded applications.

Ultra-compact

Measuring just 19.5 mm x 28.7 mm x 33.9 mm and weighing less than 14 g, the MicroHAWK engine is suitable for embedded instruments, automated machines or robotic equipment.

Powerful

Built with ultra-fast microprocessors, the MicroHAWK easily solves application challenges, from simple barcode reading to intensive machine vision inspection, typically requiring a 10-fold smart camera.

Highly modular

The comprehensive tool library of the MicroHAWK engine - barcode reading and / or machine vision software, optics, sensors, lighting and IP-level housing - allows you virtually unlimited flexibility when configuring your application.

Reliability and longevity

MicroHAWK provides reliability and performance to ensure long-term availability and support. Microscan has been serving the OEM/embedded market for more than 30 years and we have an in-depth understanding of the services and support required for the machine lifecycle.

Scalable visual software

The MicroHAWK engine runs a full range of Microscan machine vision tools. AutoVISION software provides an intuitive interface, step-by-step guide, and a preset library that allows for easy setup and deployment. Visionscape software is available for advanced users and more complex applications.
