Dive deep into performance
The Scandit Product Engineering team uses an extensive suite of tests to measure scan performance on a wide range of devices and reflect real use cases in data capture. They support customers daily in executing performance testing, from setting up environments to making development recommendations based on the results.

Raw performance is just the start
To accurately assess barcode scanning performance, use-case-based testing approach. Having actual users test the software in real environments ensures that testing conditions mirror the scenarios they will encounter. This test gives an example of how Scandit product engineers conduct use-case-based testing but we would always recommend that you test in your own environment.

Scandit was 1.2X faster in fashion receiving tests
Why this matters: Faster receiving frees up labor time for other tasks.
It took a human an average of 25.8 seconds to scan 10 plastic-wrapped shirts using Scandit, compared to 30.8 seconds using the leading competitor.
This means that in 1 minute, Scandit would scan an average of 23 items and the leading competitor would scan an average of 19 items.
AI-Powered Barcode Scanning
Scandit's high performance is driven by patented AI-powered barcode scanning features
Demo: Classic versus AI-powered barcode scanning
Traditional scanners trigger on any code in view, forcing workers to bend, cover nearby labels with a finger, or retype values from damaged barcodes. The Scandit AI Engine reads context and user intent in real time, so the right barcode is captured the first time.

Frequently asked questions
Contact usUnmatched Speed
Immediate response is critical for a good user experience – ‘snappy scanning’ is key. Our single scanning speed is 480 scans per minute, reassuringly faster than any human being could cope with.
And to scan multiple barcodes at once, MatrixScan can be used to capture an entire set of barcodes in one sequence (for example, stock counts or labels with many barcodes).
Tough Codes
Our scanner handles tough barcodes that are a problem for most mobile scanning software. No matter if the barcode is torn, has glare or is tiny, our advanced decoding algorithms can handle the toughest conditions.
Wide Angles
Sometimes scanning has to be done in a difficult to access space, such as on an assembly line or behind an appliance at a customer’s premises. Horizontally aligning barcodes can be difficult, but our omnidirectional barcode scanning technology makes it possible to scan barcodes from any angle with ease.
Our extraordinary working range recognizes a barcode anywhere on the screen no matter where it’s placed, either close to or far away from the camera.
Long Distance
Our super resolution barcode scanning software can handle scanning at a distance with ease. The ability to scan normal sized EAN or UPC code at 8 feet distance can come in handy when codes are e.g. located high on a shelf.
Low Light
Users are not always scanning in well lit locations – they might be in a dark stock room or a delivery van or a hospital ward at night. Scandit software consistently performs under these circumstances due to our super resolution scanner.

All Mobile Device Types
When a mobile scanning app is to be used by consumers or by employees with their own devices, it must work on many different device types.
Scandit software supports more than 20,000 models of smart devices – including low-end devices that lack autofocus. We issue regular software updates, for example when a device manufacturer makes a software change that affects scanning functionality.
