Barcode Scanner SDK
Challenge
Before integrating barKoder, the team relied on native camera scanning and other existing applications, but:
- Scan performance was inconsistent across different devices.
- Reading small, low-quality, or partially damaged codes was unreliable.
- They needed a solution that integrated cleanly into their .NET MAUI app suite (PipeTracer Mobile and TRA), worked on both phones and tablets, and supported offline use in the field.
Solution
They integrated the barKoder SDK into their PipeTracer App Suite (PipeTracer Mobile and PipeTracer Tally Running Assistant), both built with .NET MAUI. barKoder was chosen because it:
- Provides native .NET MAUI compatibility and cross-platform support.
- Offers fast, accurate, and reliable barcode decoding, including low-quality and partially obscured barcodes.
- Delivers flexible camera handling and native-like performance.
- Came with excellent documentation and responsive support, which helped quickly resolve camera permission and iOS build configuration issues.
Result
Since implementing barKoder, barcode scanning has become faster, more stable, and more reliable across a wide range of devices. Field teams scan reliably on both phones and tablets in real-world conditions. The optimized real-time performance has reduced lag and read errors, making daily workflows smoother and less frustrating. Overall, barKoder has become a trusted partner in their digitalization project, with an SDK that is robust, easy to maintain, and well suited for industrial use.
