Scandit released the SDK 8, designed to embed intelligence at the point of data capture.
Powered by the Scandit AI Engine, SDK 8 empowers frontline workers and businesses with a workflow enabler that adapts to context, automates data capture and accelerates processes to reduce operational costs and drive productivity.
“Too many data capture tools rely only on the user to bring the intelligence. With the SDK 8 and the Scandit AI Engine, intelligence moves into the workflow itself, understanding what users are trying to do, anticipating the next step, and guiding them through it with real-time insights. With such smart data capture evolutions, resulting outcomes drive revenue, efficiency and increase customer satisfaction for businesses,” says Christian Floerkemeier, CTO and co-founder at Scandit.
Key takeaways:
· With the Scandit SDK 8, businesses can streamline critical workflows by automating previously manual error-prone, time-intensive steps to reduce errors and increase operational efficiency.
· Frontline workers are guided through tasks seamlessly by augmented reality (AR) overlays to prioritize actions that will drive profitability such as optimized stock replenishment and receiving with exception handling.
· Whether used by a retail store associate or a delivery driver in the last mile, the Scandit SDK 8 dynamically adjusts to the scanning environment and user intent to intelligently detect and decode only the selected data in real-time including barcodes, text and IDs.
· AI-powered barcode scanning reduces user frustration, interruption and errors with enhanced capabilities that dynamically adjusts its settings to scan the right barcode in cluttered environments even easier. Text recognition is triggered automatically as a back up to capture a barcode’s value when it’s unreadable.
· In dynamic environments such as store backrooms, warehouses and fulfilment centres, MatrixScan Pick enables users to scan multiple items simultaneously and instantly view associated tasks via an AR overlay. Users can interact with AR overlays via a simple tap to confirm actions and update the status, with up to 6 times quicker process completion for workflows such as audit inventory, task execution is also more accurate.
· Smart label capture extracts barcode and text data simultaneously from the same label more than 10 times faster compared to manual input. Essential for expiry date checks on perishable items or price checks, businesses can accurately capture information required for compliance checks or reducing food waste.
· Further updates include the addition of Barcode Clustering to MatrixScan Count, which automatically identifies groups of barcodes together that belong to the same item rather than scanning one by one.
