Dynamsoft Enhances Batch Barcode Scanner with Android Support, New Capture Modes and Real-Time Missed Barcode Detection
BBS is a ready-to-use mobile app that brings highly accurate batch barcode scanning to high-volume inventory environments - scanning more than 100 items at once with over 99% read rates, completing work up to five times faster than manual methods and saving operators up to 80% of the time previously spent on inventory tasks.
Dynamsoft Batch Barcode Scanner v3.0.1 introduces three new scanning modes, a mixed video and photo capture workflow, and cloud export - each designed to meet the realities of demanding scan environments.
The most straightforward batch mode: capture all barcodes within the camera's field of view, snap additional frames from different distances, angles or adjusted lighting until everything is decoded, and see results overlaid directly on the final image. Ideal for clean environments where all visible items are relevant.
Designed for environments where irrelevant barcodes surround target items - such as densely packed shelves where neighboring products would otherwise pollute the scan. Operators snap a photo of the target area, then move in closer to capture any missing codes, ensuring only the right items are decoded.
For long rows of barcodes, operators sweep the camera across the batch in a single pass. BBS automatically stitches the frames into one panoramic image, making it easy to scan an entire shelf or pallet in one motion.
The previous iOS release relied on continuous video streaming. The new approach combines photo capture, video stream scanning, and multiple captures. Operators no longer need to maintain a continuous recording - between captures they can review results in real time and simply retake a shot if needed, without restarting the entire session. This approach also lowers hardware requirements and improves overall performance.
BBS detects missing barcodes in real time and shows operators exactly which specific items were missed — something traditional manual scanning workflows cannot provide. Conventional workflows typically return only a list of successfully scanned values, leaving teams to figure out what was skipped. With BBS, operators can immediately identify and rescan the specific missing item, eliminating costly repeated verification cycles.
Scan results can now be exported directly to cloud storage, greatly improving data transfer convenience and integration with downstream workflows - from ERP systems to compliance archives.
