Mobile Barcode Scanner To Excel

[Azalee Freas]

Thisadd-in, assisted by the Scan-IT to Office app (see below), provides real-time data collection and barcode scanning for Excel spreadsheets and Word documents. Cloud services forward the captured data (barcodes, NFC tags, camera images, manual inputs, time-stamps, GPS locations etc.) immediately into documents and target applications on your desktop computer. This works wireless, regardless of your location, even across different offices, facilities or countries. Time-consuming copy/paste or export/import tasks are not required.

Scan-IT to Office provides an elegant alternative to conventional barcode scanners and dedicated mobile data collection equipment. Besides remote barcode scanning, it supports custom data acquisition forms using any combination of input fields: Use multiple barcode scanner fields, manual inputs (with text recognition support), images, lists etc. to cover requirements like stocktaking, check-in / check-out tasks, attendee tracking, picking, material management, field service tasks and many more.

Scan-IT to Office is ready to use in a few steps: Install the Scan-IT to Office app on your Android or iOS device and pair the app with this add-in by scanning a QR code. Now the data transfer works on its own, within fractions of a second Scan-IT to Office forwards remotely captured data line by line to all paired Word documents or Excel spreadsheets.

Scan-IT to Office provides maximum data security and data protection. Collected data is transferred using end-to-end encryption; your data is exclusively stored on your personal devices. The Scan-IT to Office solution works with and without Internet connectivity: when offline, the mobile device caches captured data until Internet connectivity is available again.

This add-in is free of charge. To benefit from it, you also need the Scan-IT to Office app for your mobile device. The app installs as free trial that replaces collected data at random intervals and/or displays a notification. For unrestricted use, we kindly ask you to purchase a subscription for the app. Please contact sa...@tec-it.com for volume license requirements.

Zoom: Works just like the zoom feature of a camera. The default zoom is at 50, you can increase it to 70 or more to allow holding your phone to within the desired distance from the barcode (to accommodate tight spaces, etc)

Brightness: helps add more light into the picture if you need to scan in dark conditions

Camera: Set to the specific value of your device (1,2, 3) that selects the front or the back camera.

Step 1: Create an app from data using leveraging Common Data Model.

Step 2: Customize the first screen to filter records based on barcode being scanned.

Step 3: Fine tune the parameters of the barcode and try it out

The barcode control is available under Insert>Media. Once added there is a key step in a successful application/

The scanner is feeding the live image from the camera stream and it is key to size the barcode control to the optimal value for your targeted devices.

As general guidance, a size going below the half of the screen height is likely to provide a too low of an image quality for good barcode detection. Also using a full screen experience can be very costly on the memory consumption, particularly on iOs devices.

Based on my testing, the maximum size iOs can support successfully is at 640700. In current example the scanner is sized at 640x 501, at the smallest size I could set to get successful scans with my devise (this really depends on the resolution of your camera).

Do you need to scan multiple types of barcodes (like UPC and EAN) or camera setting such as zoom? The following steps will walk you through how to enable zoom and also enable scanning multiple barcode types.

1.Ensure a distance of 7-10 inch and slowly move the device in this range to speed up the scan rates

2.Need to hold the phone in the locked orientation (portrait) to scan successfully.

3.Barcode labels need a min height of 1inch and min width of 1.5 inch to ensure high success rates.

1.The app needs to lock down a certain barcode type or expose to the user the option to choose the type before scanning.

2.On mobile players (Android, iOs) the camera preview has a locked ratio (does not stretch to full width available).

3.Long barcodes (15+ characters like I2O5) with low quality labels can give trimmed/erroneous scan values while scanning from a different distance/light conditions, etc.

4.The barcode control needs to have a height of 500x 700 or higher. Further on, iOS has lower success rates than Android devices due to memory limitations. Please set the scanner width and height to 640700 or lower and scan rate of 30 to avoid such errors.

5.Scan rate needs to be set at 35 rather than 60 (the default) to ensure an optimal memory utilization.

6.When running the app long time/ locking unlocking the scanner can freeze sporadically, need to restart the app to recover.

The barcode scanner control increases warehouse users' productivity as they can scan barcodes using the device camera or even the dedicated barcode scanner. This feature also opens scenarios for partners to create more advanced experiences using a barcode scanner.

The new barcode scanning feature supports three different scenarios, each with varying levels of complexity. The scenarios range from simple user interface (UI) features to more advanced approaches that cater to ISVs.

The mobile client renders a user-friendly control on page fields for starting the barcode scanner. To enable the barcode scanning action on a field, the ExtendedDatatype property in AL code must be set to Barcode. Pages with such fields, which are only supported for text and code data types, will automatically display a barcode scanning button in the UI, enabling scanning via the device camera. This scanning is highly efficient and responsive, featuring mobile OS level processing and supporting the most well-known 1D and 2D barcode formats. Once a barcode is scanned, its value is entered in the field on the page, and the focus moves to the next quick-entry field on the page. This feature is supported on both iOS and Android platforms.

AL developers are also able to trigger the barcode scanning UI via an AL-based action, so the barcode scanning can be started via a button, link, or some other semiautomated logic (for instance, when a page is opened). Also supported on iOS and Android platforms, this scenario uses the same camera-based scanning technology as scenario 1 and returns the scanned barcode value to AL code for further processing.

Say your organization has reports containing data that has been tagged as barcode data in Power BI Desktop. When you scan a product barcode using the Power BI mobile app's camera, you'll get a list of the reports that have barcode data. You can open the report you're looking for, automatically filtered to the information you need.

Find the report you're looking for and tap to open it on your device, automatically filtered according to the barcode you scanned. If the report doesn't contain the barcode, you'll get the message "Couldn't filter report". In that case you can go back to the list and try another report.

If there is only one report with a barcode field, you won't get a list of reports, but rather the report will open directly, filtered according to the barcode you scanned. If the report doesn't contain the barcode you scanned, you will get the message "Couldn't filter report".

The mobile apps support Barcode filtering for reports that have only one barcode column across all report data tables. If you scan a barcode for a report that has more than one barcode column, no filtering takes place.

In response to market demand we have created a free application, which can change almost any phone (or tablet) running on android into a professional barcode scanner. The app will be useful with inventorymaking and other logistic processes at the warehouse. It does not have any limitations as to the number of codes it can take in, and its scope of supported code formats is comparable to the one of a professional device. The application may be used by all kinds of companies or even individuals not running any business activity.

To use the free LoMag barcode scanner app and change your telephone into a real data collector, you should have a telephone (smartphone) or a tablet with android version 2.1 or newer and a camera for taking photos and making videos (it is recommended that the camera has the Autofocus function).

You can download LoMag barcode scanner form Google Play platform. To download the product, go here or launch "Play Sore" on your phone.
