Barcode scanning is an everyday task in logistics, retail, last-mile delivery and beyond. But when teams need to scan dozens or even hundreds of barcodes per shift, doing it one at a time slows everything down. 

This is where multiple barcode scanning comes in. Instead of scanning barcodes one by one, AI-powered technology enables a single device to scan multiple barcodes at once, in a single frame, with no manual input. Here’s how this technology is transforming high-volume scanning.

Why Businesses Are Turning to Multiple Barcode Scanning

For industries handling high volumes of inventory, shipments, or retail stock, traditional barcode scanning creates inefficiencies. When every barcode has to be scanned individually, it increases workload, slows operations, and leaves room for human error.

Multi-barcode capture eliminates these challenges, allowing teams to capture bulk shipments, inventory, and stock levels in seconds, improving efficiency, reducing errors, and eliminating unnecessary manual work. Let’s explore how multi-barcode scanning works and why it matters.

How Multi-Barcode Capture Works 

  • Point your device at multiple barcodes. Anyline recognizes up to 30 barcodes at once in a single frame. 
  • AI-powered processing instantly detects and decodes each barcode, even if it’s damaged, distorted, or in low light. 
  • No manual entry required. Digital data is structured and ready to use in real-time. 
  • Seamless integration transfers barcode data instantly to inventory, logistics, or cloud systems. 

Why Multi-Barcode Capture Matters 

  • Faster processing – Scan up to 30 barcodes at once and handle 500 barcodes per minute. 
  • More accuracy, fewer errors – AI ensures every barcode is captured correctly, even in tough conditions. 
  • Works in real-world conditions – Scans torn, distorted, or low-light barcodes without issues. 
  • No special hardware needed – Works on any standard mobile device, reducing costs. 
  • Reliable anywhereOffline functionality ensures scanning works even without internet access. 

With multi-barcode capture, businesses can process inventory faster, cut labor costs, and improve operational efficiency, all without changing their existing workflows.

Maximizing Efficiency with Multi-Barcode Capture

Unlike basic barcode scanning, multi-barcode capture is built for businesses that handle high-volume scanning every day. 

Here’s where it delivers the most impact: 

  • Warehousing & Logistics – Streamline inventory tracking, pallet scanning, and shipment verification.
  • Retail & Inventory Audits – Speed up stocktaking, shelf restocking, and product tracking.
  • Last-Mile Delivery – Instantly verify multiple packages at drop-off, reducing delivery errors.

By eliminating slow, manual barcode scanning, businesses can increase processing speed, minimize human errors, and improve overall productivity.

Seamless Integration for Maximum Efficiency

Anyline’s multi-barcode capture technology works on standard mobile devices, so businesses can scale without investing in dedicated scanners. 

It also integrates with other data capture solutions, such as serial number and ID scanning, creating a fully automated workflow within a single device. 

Even with the toughest-to-read labels, Anyline scans 25% faster than a leading competitor, giving businesses a competitive edge.
