ABOUT STATENS SERUM INSTITUT

Since 1902, Denmark's Statens Serum Institut (SSI) has been responsible for Danish preparedness against infectious diseases and screening of newborns for congenital disorders. SSI has earned an international reputation for its expertise in epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology, and has consistently been at the forefront of Denmark's response to infectious diseases, such as COVID-19. The Institut is an indispensable source for scientific research and public health initiatives, both within Denmark and internationally.

Snapshot

Statens Serum Institut in Denmark wanted to incorporate a barcode reading solution in a proof-of-concept web based mobile solution for Danish citizens that would help them register sample tubes for self-testing and supervised tests. The main challenge was to accurately read small 4x4mm inverted Data Matrix codes.

The SSI team chose to use an SDK for the application's development to save time and ensure smooth integration with the existing infrastructure. Following a thorough tender evaluation process, the team selected the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK to put its capabilities to the test. This choice proved highly effective in terms of simplifying integration with a light-weight web application and delivering efficient and reliable scanning of small tubes, used further at a high-capacity, automated laboratory infrastructure at SSI.

The Challenge Faced

SSI's primary objectives focus on preparedness for infectious diseases, biological threats, and managing congenital disorders. To fulfill these goals, they sought to develop an IT solution, equipped with barcode reading capabilities, for registration and sample tracking in self- and supervised testing.

Statens Serum Institut encountered a few challenges, such as efficiently managing test samples, and reliably reading tiny DataMatrix codes on tubes containing biological materials.

Impact

Using Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK has meant the users can now effortlessly manage self-testing and registration of their samples. Users simply scan a QR code for instructions to guide them through the testing process and then register their sample tubes by scanning the small inverted DataMatrix code.

Through rigorous testing, SSI verified the SDK's consistent and reliable performance in scanning DataMatrix codes. SSI look to utilize barcode scanner technology onto other applications in the future.

We needed a barcode reader that would enable ordinary citizens to scan tiny DataMatrix codes accurately and would integrate with our existing solutions. Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK proved to be an optimal choice. The SDK met our requirements and enabled us to provide easy, robust mobile scanning of test sample tubes.

Advantages of Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK

SSI estimated that developing their own barcode reader would significantly delay their project, so they opted for an established SDK instead.

About Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK

Dynamsoft Barcode Reader is an enterprise-grade software development kit (SDK) that empowers developers to integrate high-performance 1D and 2D barcode reading capabilities into their web, desktop, or mobile applications. The developers only need to write a few lines of code that help eliminate the testing, development, and additional resource expenditures. It supports multiple platforms, including JavaScript, C, C++, .NET, Python, Java, Android, and iOS.
