Replace Legacy Mobile Scanners With Aila’s SoftScan SDK for iOS

In short:

• Legacy mobile handheld scanners are single-purpose devices. SoftScan replaces them with a software SDK that runs on any iPhone or iPad already in the field.
• SoftScan is built for demanding enterprise workflows, delivering industrial scan speeds and accuracy on standard iOS devices with no additional hardware.
• Healthcare, retail, and logistics teams use SoftScan to consolidate barcode scanning, ID capture, and document processing into a single mobile platform.

Transform any iPhone or iPad into a powerful enterprise scanner with Aila’s SoftScan SDK. Designed for demanding mobile workflows, SoftScan delivers fast, accurate data capture across a wide range of barcode and identity documents.

SoftScan runs natively on iOS, using the Apple Neural Engine and device camera to deliver scan speeds and accuracy that match or exceed dedicated handheld scanning hardware, without the cost or complexity of managing a separate device fleet.

Key features highlighted:

• <20 millisecond scan speed in continuous scanning mode
• Industrial throughput up to 900 barcodes/s with MultiScan
• Reliably capture damaged, blurry, and ultra-small barcodes

FAQ

What is a mobile handheld scanner?
A mobile handheld scanner is a dedicated device used to capture barcodes, ID documents, and more across industries such as healthcare, aviation, logistics, and retail. Aila’s SoftScan SDK replaces dedicated mobile handheld scanners by running the same scanning capability natively on standard iOS devices, with no additional hardware required.

How fast does SoftScan scan barcodes?
SoftScan scans in under 20 milliseconds in continuous scanning mode and supports industrial throughput up to 900 barcodes per second using MultiScan, making it suitable for high-volume enterprise workflows on standard iPhones and iPads.

Can SoftScan read damaged or blurry barcodes?
Yes. SoftScan is designed to reliably capture damaged, blurry, and ultra-small barcodes that standard camera-based scanning and many legacy mobile handheld scanners fail to read.

What devices does SoftScan run on?
SoftScan runs on standard iPhones and iPads via Aila’s iOS SDK, with no hardware modification or external peripheral required. It is designed for enterprise deployment across demanding mobile workflows including retail, healthcare, and logistics.
