Scanning E-Ink Barcodes from Digital Labels with Route4Me’s iOS Barcode Scanner

Digital labels are rapidly replacing printed tags in retail, logistics, warehousing, and many other industries. Route4Me’s barcode scanner for iOS devices enables you to effortlessly scan any type of e-ink barcodes on modern electronic labels for securely capturing accurate and up-to-date data. When out in the field, using the barcode scanner helps to significantly reduce the time of data input, decrease the chances of possible errors, as well as improve the overall efficiency of your team’s operations.

Scanning E-Ink Barcodes from Digital Labels

To capture data from a digital label and add it to a stop, first, go to “Routes” from the navigation menu at the bottom of the screen and then open the route that contains the stop(s) to which you want to add barcode data.

On the “Stops” screen of the opened route, tap on the stop for which you want to scan one or multiple barcodes.

After that, select “Scan Barcode” from the stop’s menu.

Next, point the camera of your device at the digital label until the app detects and scans the corresponding barcode. Make sure that the image is clear and sharp for faster and more accurate data capture.

Then, review the data stored in the scanned barcode and tap “OK” to save it.

Viewing Captured Barcode Data

Once the barcode is scanned, the “Destination Info” screen opens automatically (if defined in the settings). The information captured from the scanned barcode is added to the corresponding stop as custom data.

Alternatively, you can manually check the custom data section of the stop. To do so, first, tap on the stop that you want to check and then select “Destination Info” respectively.

After that, scroll down to the “ScannedLabel” section where the data captured from the barcode is displayed.

Adjusting the Barcode Scanner Settings

After that, scroll down to the “Barcode Scanner” section where you can adjust the corresponding settings according to your preference.
