Fieldman is excited to introduce a universal barcode scanner - a new app feature that easily scans and reads all 30 existing barcode types. This innovative scanner minimizes incorrect data entry and streamlines fieldwork.
"Utility field projects are becoming more complicated. We've noticed that contractors now have to perform complex installations with three or four different barcode entries," - explains Vlad Kravchenko, CEO at Fieldman.
At first, field workers are required to scan a barcode on a meter to record its serial number for inputting new meter information into a database. Additionally, they need to scan an antenna barcode, a necessary step for pairing the antenna with a meter to ensure accurate meter readings are transmitted to a billing system. Furthermore, field technicians are tasked with scanning a QR code to log the meter into an inventory. And these are necessary steps for a single installation.
Since all three barcodes are distinct, manually inputting all this data without errors is nearly impossible. Furthermore, the complexity increases due to the approximately 30 barcode symbology types in use.
To eliminate a number of errors and simplify the process, Fieldman upgraded its barcode scanning feature. In addition to scanning 1D codes - the oldest and most popular codes- Fieldman field service app can scan all types of existing barcodes, including data metrics codes, barcode types 39 and 128, as well as QR codes.
With Fieldman's new feature, the days of manual data entry fraught with errors and typos are gone. The universal barcode scanner is a game-changer when it comes to data accuracy.
Field workers, who are tasked with collecting and inputting a lot of information, can now do so with remarkable 99 % accuracy. Whether it's inventory serial numbers, meter readings, or other numeric data, the barcode scanner ensures that every digit is captured faultlessly, eliminating the risks associated with human error.
This newfound accuracy translates into reliable records, reduced rework, and ultimately, enhanced decision-making.
The barcode scanner speeds up tasks a lot. Before, field workers had to type things by hand, but with a new Fieldman App barcode scanner, they can quickly scan them.
Since field workers are required to complete as many installations as possible, using the scanner instead of typing saves a ton of time. Field employees can collect information faster and complete more tasks within the same timeframe.
One of the remarkable features of the universal barcode scanner is its compatibility with a wide range of devices. Whether it's a smartphone, tablet, or specialized handheld device, the Fieldman workforce app barcode scanner will work on any of them.
Fieldman field app uses the device's camera to scan barcodes. When a field worker taps on a form within the app, the camera is activated, initiating the scanning process. This process translates the code into accurate numbers, which are then seamlessly transferred to the platform.
A motivated and strong workforce is crucial for a successful field service project. The universal barcode scanner makes tasks easier for field workers and reduces the stress of typing in data manually.
This translates into higher job satisfaction, reduced frustration, and increased engagement. As employees adopt this user-friendly Fieldman technology, they become more adept at their roles, driving higher proficiency and expertise.
Fieldman App's universal barcode scanning feature transforms smart devices into advanced and cost-effective smart data capture tools. If you're interested in learning more about the Fieldman platform, book a demo!
