Challenge vs solution
Challenge
The current software limited users to process one tray at a time.
The current business requirement of capturing user activity resulted in repeated operator logins.
Transfer functionality from outdated scanners to new Denso units.
Outdated hardware and technology.
Solution
The team has tried several new Android devices equipped with 2D and 3D scanners.
Android Denso unit was chosen, which resulted in code re-write to Xamarin Forms.
New technologies allowed the UI to follow a modern Material theme approach.
The latest UX standards allowed multiple trays scanning, and eliminated unnecessary steps in user flow.
