Product Update – November 2022
Lukas Moshuber
Product Manager at Anyline
In this blog, you’ll learn how we worked on making our scanning capabilities more accurate and give you more possibilities to develop scanning solutions, both for mobile apps and web-based solutions.
And if you’d like to check it out by yourself, there’s also good news regarding our demo app!
Tire scanning - more accuracy across the board
We improved the Machine Learning model of our tire size scanner to make it more accurate and also more flexible to fit online tire retail needs even better. It’s now possible to access the individual parameters of the tire size (width, aspect ratio, construction, RIM diameter, load index, speed rating and vehicle type information) separately – meaning that it helps you and your customers fill search bars with more ease when browsing for new tires to purchase.
In addition to that, we are introducing a new scanning capability for dealerships, repair shops and even law enforcement agencies: the Vehicle Registration Certificate scanner. This new capability makes it possible to scan German vehicle registration certificates (“Fahrzeugschien”) with any smartphone equipped with a camera and running on iOS or Android to identify both the vehicle and the vehicle owner.
If you’d like to scan vehicle registration certificates outside of Germany, contact us and we’ll work together to make it happen!
Fast and accurate barcode scanning for web-applications
If you want to scan barcodes and are working with web-based applications or websites, we have good news for you: we now offer the same capabilities to scan barcodes with our web SDK as we do for mobile applications! That means more supported symbologies, better performance and also parallel scanning of multiple barcodes.
The barcode scanner can be used for E-commerce websites as well as web-based workforce and consumer applications. It scans most barcode types in less than a second, even in poor lighting conditions and on damaged barcodes – and now without the need to download a mobile app.
Anyline’s demo app just got better
We understand that the best way to see and decide if our scanning solution is right for you is to try it yourself. That’s why we added scanning capabilities to our demo app and improved existing ones!
It is now possible for you to try different barcode scanning modes, including:
- Continuous scanning with barcode count
- Manual Triggering for single barcode scans
- Haptic and sound feedback on successful scans
- Zoom enabled on the scan view
- All symbologies enabled upfront
In addition, we added our new vehicle registration certificate scanning capability to the demo app.
More IDs covered
Finally, we added new IDs to the long list of identification documents we are already able to scan. You can now use any smartphone to scan:
- Turkish ID front
- New Polish Drivers License layout
- New Georgia and West Virginia Driver’s License layouts
- New Colorado and Kentucky ID layouts
If you need to scan and digitize specific IDs quickly and accurately, but cannot find it in our list, contact us and we will improve our Machine Learning model to make our ID scanning capability to cover your needs as well!
