SCANNECT App decodes black on black QR Codes on tires (SCANNECT Codes). Just place the code in the green rectangle and wait for de-coding. For a more thorough analysis or for unusual Codes press the "Deep Scan" button. SCANNECT is a self-optimizing tool and the performance will improve upon usage. Unlike standard QR Code reading apps, the advanced reading algorithm is able to decode SCANNECT Codes even under difficult lighting conditions or on tires with high mileage. SCANNECT App is a developer application to demonstrate the capabilities of the SCANNECT technology. Incorporation of SCANNECT App into your application or processes is simple; the user can choose between Inter-App Communication and the usage of the device clipboard. Get in touch with us, if you are interested to use the technology in your tire related Apps. About SCANNECT A solution to individually mark every tire with a unique and permanent 2D Matrix Code (Datamatrix or QR Code) that can be read with most smart phones has been introduced by 4JET Technologies GmbH and has evolved to be a technology widely requested by the tire and automotive industry. The 4JET SCANNECT solution - short for "scan and connect" - enables a long standing wish of the tire and automotive industry: being able to trace tires through their life cycle and to get in closer touch with its end customers. QR Codes currently being introduced on serial PCR and TBR tires contain the entire set of relevant tire data as well as a serial number to 100% identify a single tire and match it to a vehicle. Comprehensive field tests proof very high reading rates with SCANNECT App over the entire tire lifetime and in challenging environments. The advanced algorithm is able to cope with difficult lighting conditions (twilight, artificial lighting, partial shadowing, Smartphone light in darkness), high degree of contamination of the codes as well as partial damages of the codes. For further information on the technology or on how to introduce SCANNECT reading capability into your tire application, get in touch with us through sales@4jet.de . SCANNECT App writes the de-coding result on to the device clipboard which allows a simple transfer into other applications on the same device. For a much smoother interaction SCANNECT can be started from a different App on the same device using Inter-App Communication and will deliver the de-coding result back into the starting App. To register for this service please get in touch with us through sales@4jet.de.

Scanflow Smartphone Scanner to scan Text / QR/Barcode from mobile app edge detection and decode. No required Internet. Scanflow-Powered mobile apps significantly outperform other scanning software solutions on any device under any condition with any type of Barcodes. Since it’s developed using advanced technology ML and Computer vision the performance will be faster and reliable. Barcode scanning technology makes it possible to scan barcodes from any angle. Working range will be recognized a barcode from anywhere on the screen no matter where it’s placed. It can be close or far away from the camera. * We have integratedMachine learning (ML) model & Computer Vision to detect QR/Barcode in effective way. * Ability to scan Barcode / QRCode (Any Code) in the same camera view and support to scan for specific to by enabling simple flag. * Low light environment images will be identified done using Computer Vision. So scanner can be identified image codes from very low light environments. * Shall be able to scan very small size Barcode / QRcode with applied algorithm which will be perform better than a very familiar commercial code scanners available in the market. * Customized Super Resolution applied in core algorithm and added Image enhancement process which will automatically improves your low-quality images using an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) method based on deep neural networks. * Computer Vision Pre-Processing applied for decoding the Barcode/QRCode images to get more accurate results with better performance. * We shall be able to detect the barcode from a long distance up to the mark of 6-7 feet distance normal to get accurate results. Ability to scan normal sized EAN & UPC code at 8 feet distance. * Have a demo version ready to download and see about how the app works for both Bar / QR codes. * You have a UI window to see the scanned details onboard along with code type. * Shall have an option on landing page to choose the type of scanning to make detection and decode codes as we want if any specific. * Available Flashlight feature support to give more accurate support during very low light to improve the detection and decode rating. * Inbuilt Auto Exposure feature support applied with algorithms which will do auto adjustment based on your environment lightings. * Camera Exposure can be controlled by option swapping screen left to right over the screen. * Provisioning all controls in this framework to handle camera screen along with successful decode beep Everything can be enabled/disabled and modified. * Provision to make Single or Continuous Scan. * Scans 1D, 2D Barcodes and the support formats given below. * The app demonstrates Tire Serial Number capture.
