Most standard barcode scanners share a common weakness: they require at least one straight line to pass through every bar of a 1D code to decode it. If the code is curved or deformed to the point where no such line exists, the scanner fails.
At barKoder, we solved this with Segment Decoding®.
Testing is the most critical aspect of barcode scanning SDK.
Direct Part Marking (DPM) is a method of permanently marking components with Data Matrix codes for tracking and identification. It is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics, but requires advanced scanning technology due to challenging reading conditions.
