Serial Number Scanner
Point a phone at a serial number and know immediately whether that unit is due an upgrade.
- Client
- a commercial lighting manufacturer
- Type
- OCR web application
The problem
Upgrading installed hardware meant an engineer reading serial numbers off units by hand and checking them against a list later — slow, and wrong often enough to matter.
The outcome
An engineer photographs the serial number on site. OCR reads it, the application matches it against the database of known units, and the answer comes back while they are still standing in front of it.
