High performance scanner identifies counterfeit parts

A new high performance scanner instantly identifies bogus or obsolete spare parts that harbour substantial safety risks in aircraft or cars.

Siemens has developed the Simatic HawkEye scanner — a scanning device that reads, digitizes and evaluates data-matrix codes (DMCs) in less than 100 milliseconds. In the automotive and aerospace industries, the new scanner will soon be exposing counterfeit spare parts by checking the authenticity of two-dimensional bar codes in seconds, by means of direct online consultation with the product manufacturers.
