Volo instantly auto-discriminates between most popular bar code symbologies, including traditional linear (1D), stacked, matrix (2D) and postal bar codes. For the full set of bar code symbologies supported please visit http://www.omniplanar.com/volo.php.

"Omniplanar has long been a leader in supplying bar code decoding engines for high-end industrial, postal, retail and mobile devices for the AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) market that are manufactured, distributed and installed around the world in time-critical applications," said Chad Ludeman, Marketing Manager for Omniplanar. "Volo originated from a recognized need from the Document Processing industry for a high-performance bar code decoding engine that did not require images to be pre-processed or re-oriented in order to obtain successful bar code recognition and decodes."

Volo was designed to be extremely aggressive while decoding "real world" bar codes that may be damaged or poorly printed due to factors such as excessive faxing or copying. In direct comparisons, Volo decoded bar codes over six times faster than its nearest competitor. Furthermore, Volo accurately decoded 40 percent more bar codes pulled from varying quality document images versus the competition.

"Volo's speed and aggressiveness stem from its very clever algorithms that enable it to find and decode bar codes in any image orders of magnitude faster than other bar code decoders available to the ECM industry," added Garrett Russell, President of Omniplanar. "Omniplanar is confident that Volo will become the obvious choice for document imaging applications that require bar code decoding."

New customers who have tested Volo have been astonished at the performance improvements over their existing decode engine especially when reading multiple symbols at once, reading damaged codes or reading codes on images moving at high speeds.
