> Thanks for the explanation, I do see where you are going with this. Ignition can certainly do what you need it to do, but I would recommend at looking into other avenues. Specifically, I would consider leveraging cloud services such as Azure or AWS to offload the image processing outside of your Ignition Gateway. There are already tools within these platforms to do OCR; one example is Amazon Rekognition ([https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/text-detection.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/text-detection.html)).

Is it a barcode? Other's have come to the forum asking about OCR for reading barcodes but those are read better and easily integrated with dedicated scanning devices like a Cognex hand scanner for example, instead of pictures and then OCR'ing the picture.
