Browser-based barcode scanning promises instant convenience - point, scan, done - all without installing an app or buying dedicated hardware. It sounds like magic: every smartphone camera becomes a data capture device for logistics, inventory, or retail. But under the hood, it’s anything but simple. Browsers weren’t built for real-time...

Modern electronics manufacturing operates at high speed, processing billions of small components such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits daily. Accurate tracking of each component is essential. Among the most sophisticated identifiers used in this field are small DataMatrix codes, tiny 2D barcodes etched or printed directly onto...

Behind every medical device, vial, or pharmaceutical package that’s scanned in a hospital or lab, there’s a global standard quietly enabling safety and efficiency - GS1. GS1 standards define how healthcare products are identified, barcoded, and tracked across the supply chain. They underpin everything from patient safety to recall traceability....

For manufacturers handling thousands of products per minute, a single failed DotCode scan can halt production, waste inventory, and risk compliance penalties. DotCode is a reliable, machine-readable barcode that can be accurately printed and scanned, even under less-than-ideal printing conditions. It was developed by Dr. Andrew Longacre in 2007 for...

In the intricate world of medical device manufacturing; compliance, accuracy, and patient safety remain at the core. A missed scan, a miskitted tray, or an incomplete audit record can cause disruption in the entire production line. Even small errors cause delays, costly reworks, or regulatory findings. To minimize these risks,...

Barcodes are everywhere, and rightly so. They help streamline workflows across various industries, resulting in increased efficiency and enhanced productivity. While barcodes make everyday tasks easier, not all of them are easy to scan. One such type is the inverted barcode. If you’ve ever struggled to scan one, this blog...

Understanding GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs) GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs) are two to four digit numeric prefixes embedded within the barcodes, followed by actual information that the barcode contains. They provide context to the information encoded in the barcode to ensure that barcode data such as GTIN, weight, dimension, expiration date...

Scanning barcodes on mobile boarding passes presents unique challenges in today’s digital age. While mobile boarding passes offer convenience, various factors can make it difficult to scan the barcode from the screen. However, several challenges can hinder the scanning process, necessitating advanced technology to ensure accurate and seamless decoding. Top...

The DataMatrix code is crucial in inventory management, manufacturing, and supply chain logistics. These compact 2D barcodes are essential for Direct Part Marking (DPM), allowing manufacturers to imprint vital information directly onto metal components. This information is critical for identification, traceability, and quality control throughout a product’s life cycle. However,...

Barcode scanning applications in the packaging industry streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and improve traceability. They enable accurate inventory management, product identification, and supply chain visibility. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on creating a package scanner. Step 1: Understanding Barcodes and Barcode Scanning i. Barcodes and their significance in packaging ii. Important...
