Alfredo,
If this is "wouldn't it be cool" project, what about an RFID tag instead
of/along with a barcode. This avoids having to place the barcode in a
spot where the camera can "always" read the barcode. Otherwise, put the
pallet on a shrinkwrap platform, spin it around while wrapping it, and
have a machine put the label on the package in a consistent spot. Although
if you're making up the pallet, and wrapping it, why do you need to _read_
the barcode? Don't you know it since you're printing it?

Camera with Barcode Reader
I've been participating in a "wouldn't it be cool" project that involves
taking pictures of orders as they go out the door and out of our control.
I'm hoping someone can lead me to a camera that can read a barcode from a
packing slip and associate images of the packaged order with that order
number. These orders can be as large as a pallet so a fixed solution on a
conveyor belt wouldn't be practical.
I've found this

but it's kind of pricey when you factor in a $1600 camera and they'd be
operated in a warehouse instead of a high school auditorium.
Once the image is taken the low end goal is to print a copy and put it in
with the packing slip -- no need for a barcode. The high end goals involve
storing the images on our System i where they can be called up by the
order
number.
Thanks,
Alfred
