No need to use the on-screen aiming sight anymore
Cognex announced the launch of StingRay™, a patent-pending attachable barcode scanning accessory that can be attached to smartphones. The StingRay accessory enables faster barcode scanning in light industry and enterprise applications, and allows operators to scan barcodes more easily by converting the built-in flash into a targeting pattern, virtually eliminating the need to use a sight on the screen.
StingRay accessories can be easily integrated into Cognex’s Manatee Works™ barcode scanner software development kit (SDK), which enables decoding of over 40 symbols on all major mobile, desktop, and server platforms, including Apple iOS and Google’s Android. With this powerful combination of hardware and software, application developers have been able to implement more accurate and efficient mobile applications, and the expensive mobile computers previously used in light industry scanning applications can now be replaced by mobile devices.
Carl Gerst, Senior Vice President of ID Products at Cognex, stated, “StingRay accessories are an excellent solution for meeting the growing trend of mobile devices in retail, healthcare, logistics, commercial services, and other enterprise applications,” and added, “This aiming technology, combined with Cognex’s superior barcode scanner SDK, enables existing purpose-built mobile computers to be replaced by optimized, powerful smartphones.”
With StingRay barcode scanning accessories and the Manatee Works barcode scanner SDK, simple, economical, accurate, and fast barcode scanning has become possible. More information about the StingRay suite, a light industry and enterprise barcode scanning solution, can be found at www.stingrayhub.com.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
