all materials if we perform a process that would impact their quantity, such as splitting, splic- ing, or repackaging. This level of process control would not be pos- sible without automated count- ing systems.” That uncompromising ap-
proach to accuracy is driven by Cofactr’s customers, many of whom operate in regulated or mission-critical industries where inventory discrepancies can re- sult in production delays, compli- ance risks, or costly rework. En- suring that every reel, tray, and package is correctly quantified — and that those quantities are continuously verified — requires more than manual processes.
Automated Counting Electronic components are
increasingly miniaturized, dense - ly packaged, and difficult to count using traditional methods. Manu- al counting is slow, error-prone, and cannot keep up with the throughput demands of modern electronics logistics. Even weight- based methods can introduce variability when dealing with mixed packaging, partial reels, or components with inconsistent tol- erances. For Cofactr, automated X-
ray component counting is not a convenience, it is a prerequisite for delivering on its operational commitments. “We selected the AXC-800
III based on its price-to-perform- ance balance and the integrated machine vision system that al- lowed us to tightly integrate the counters with our proprietary la- beling and warehouse manage- ment system,” Haber explains. “That integration was critical for us. The counting process isn’t a standalone activity, it’s embed- ded in our broader data and con- trol architecture.” The Scienscope AXC-800 III
enables Cofactr to non-destruc- tively count components on reels, in trays, and in other packaging formats using high-resolution X- ray imaging and intelligent algo- rithms.
Results are generated quick-
ly and consistently, regardless of component size or packaging density, allowing Cofactr to maintain high throughput with- out sacrificing accuracy. Cofactr’s decision to pur-
chase additional AXC-800 III systems over time reflects both operational growth and confi- dence in the platform’s reliabili- ty. The company now operates four AXC-800 III units across its two facilities, creating standard- ized counting capabilities that can be replicated across work- flows and locations. By maintaining a consistent
equipment platform, Cofactr simplifies training, support, and

integration while ensuring uni- form data quality across its net- work. This standardization is im- portant because of the company’s requirement to recount materi- als whenever a process step could affect quantity. Every inbound lot is counted
upon receipt. If a reel is split, spliced, or repackaged for kitting or customer-specific require- ments, it is counted again. That data is automatically captured, associated with the correct lot identifiers, and synchronized with Cofactr’s warehouse man-
agement and labeling systems. “The AXC-800 III gives us
the confidence that our digital records always match physical reality,” Haber said. “That align- ment is fundamental to every- thing we do from customer re- porting to internal controls to au- dit readiness.”
Hardware and Software One of the defining charac-
teristics of Cofactr’s operations is the tight coupling between phys- ical processes and software sys- tems. The AXC-800 III’s inte-

grated machine vision and con- nectivity capabilities allow it to function as a part of that ecosys- tem rather than a standalone in- spection tool. Count results flow directly
into Cofactr’s proprietary sys- tems, triggering label genera- tion, inventory updates, and downstream workflows without manual data entry. This automa- tion reduces the risk of transcrip- tion errors, accelerates process- ing times, and enables real-time visibility for both Cofactr’s inter-
