Increasing security requirements place higher demands on intelligent reading systems within mailing operation environments. To enable mailers to exceed these requirements and to add flexibility to their operations, we developed VEKtor.
VEKtor reading technology can be used with BÖWE BELL + HOWELL high-performance systems to read and analyze all industry-standard codes (1D, 2D, OCR, IMB, etc.), as well as images, logos and postage.

High-speed, integrated vision solution
VEKtor is completely integrated both mechanically and electronically through the BICOS operating system, providing centralized reading setup and control. The complete system is programmed, operated and controlled from one interface, simplifying operation. The reading system can be installed into system input modules such as cutters or sheet feeders, as well as at the end of the inserting process.
Reduced set-up time
The intuitive user interface enables operators to quickly and easily set up jobs. With a few mouse clicks, new operations and new reading locations are saved to a reusable template. A one-time initial setting of the camera system ensures that mechanical adjustments for jobs are not needed. Because of this, set-up times are reduced and system productivity is increased.
Flexible and user friendly
VEKtor technology is highly flexible and very easy to operate. VEKtor is ideal for service bureaus and operations where applications change often. Because of reduced setup times and easy changeover, VEKtor can significantly increase productivity.
A sample list of capabilities includes:
- Complete integration into the BÖWE BELL + HOWELL inserters
- Complete integration into BICOS operating system
- Simple integration into the BÖWE One Software Environment
- Additional quality assurance at the end of the system
- More efficiency, productivity, flexibility and transparency in the mailroom
