Scan Engines

SwiftDecoder Application

Bar code scan engines utilizing 2D Imaging technology are gaining in popularity due to higher demand for 2D bar codes, image capture applications and higher performance in bar code decoding. Scan engines are continually becoming smaller and smaller in size which is opening up a much greater range of applications, especially in Portable Data Terminals (PDT's).

Designing an effective imaging scan engine is no easy task and requires just the right mix of processing power, illumination, imaging sensor and decoding software.

The software in particular must be capable processing an image extremely fast in order to return decode results from an image in a matter of miliseconds. The software must also be in a very small package that can easily be embedded into a small, OEM device unlike programs run on PC's that can occupy large memory reserves.

SwiftDecoder satisfies and exceeds all of the requirements for a bar code decoding software engine embedded in a high-performance OEM scan engine.

There is no other software available capable of processing and decoding bar codes in images faster or more aggressively than SwiftDecoder. For this reason SwiftDecoder can be found powering some of the fastest bar code scan engines on the market today for a variety of industries including retail, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and supply chain.

All of SwiftDecoder's users benefit from faster first pass reads and higher read rates on difficult or damaged codes.
