Accurate Barcode Scanning for Dynamics 365 Business Central
Buy Barcode Scanning: One payment — licence does not expire · Card payment is closed at the moment — these open the enquiry form below and we will arrange it from there.
Every receipt, pick, count and shipment starts with reading a code correctly the first time. This extension puts an industrial-grade reader directly inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: the picture is taken on a handheld, a phone, a document scanner or arrives as a supplier's PDF, and the values land on the document line without re-keying.
Try it without installing anything. The live scanner demo runs this same reader in your browser — barcodes, PDF417 driver's licences and passport MRZ, decoded on your own device.
A label in a cold store, on shrink-wrapped stock or on a carton that has already travelled is nothing like the clean sample in a test suite. The reader is built for the second case.
- Several codes in one shot. A photograph of a label sheet, a pallet of six cartons or a page of shipping labels comes back as a list of reads — one picture, one posting, no scanning item by item.
- Any orientation. Upside down, sideways, tilted or curved around a drum: the code is found and read without asking the operator to line the shot up.
- Soft focus and movement. Shots taken while walking the aisle, or with a camera that never quite settled, still decode instead of returning nothing.
- Poor originals, corrected first. Weak contrast, glare off film, printer streaks, dirt and creases are cleaned up in a preprocessing pass rather than rejected.
- Work spread across cores. Decoding runs on several threads at once, so a batch of images clears quickly and the user is not left watching a spinner.
Each read comes back as a structured record rather than a bare string, which is what lets the extension post it, file it or check it automatically.
- Format. Which symbology the code follows — so an EAN on a consumer pack and an internal Code 128 pallet ID can be routed to different fields.
- Decoded text. The value itself, ready for an item, lot, serial or document number.
- Raw data. The untouched payload, for codes carrying binary content or characters outside the Latin set.
- Page number. For a code found in a multi-page document, the page it was printed on.
- Corner points and bounding box. Where the code sits in the picture — enough to highlight it on screen or crop the label out for the archive.
- Module size. How large the smallest printed element is: a practical early warning that a label printer is drifting out of tolerance.
- Rotation angle. How far the code was turned relative to the frame.
- The line printed beneath. The human-readable text under a linear barcode, captured together with it.
- Intermediate results. The working data from each stage of the read, for tuning a difficult site and explaining why a particular label failed.
The same engine serves the aisle and the back office, so a code is a code whether someone points a device at it or it arrives by e-mail.
- Image files. BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF, as produced by phones, handhelds and document scanners.
- PDF documents. One page or several hundred: a supplier's packing list can go in whole and every code on it is read, each result tagged with its page.
- Camera and scanner bitmaps. Device-independent bitmaps (DIB) taken straight from the capture device, with no file written first.
- Base64 image strings. The shape a picture takes when it is posted from a browser or a mobile client.
- Raw buffers and file streams. Image data held in memory, for pipelines where nothing needs to touch disk.
Coverage spans the retail, logistics, industrial and postal families, so the same installation handles a consumer pack, an internal pallet label and an inbound parcel.
- Linear (1D). Code 39 and Code 39 Extended, Code 93, Code 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial 2 of 5, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, MSI and Code 11.
- Two-dimensional (2D). QR Code — including Micro QR and Model 1 — Data Matrix, PDF417 and Micro PDF417, Aztec, MaxiCode, DotCode, GS1 Composite, Patch Code and Pharmacode.
- GS1 DataBar. Omnidirectional, Truncated, Stacked, Stacked Omnidirectional, Limited, Expanded and Expanded Stacked.
- Postal. USPS Intelligent Mail, Postnet, Planet, Australia Post and Royal Mail.
The dense PDF417 block on the back of a driver's licence and the machine-readable zone of a passport are read by the same engine — see the panel alongside.
What gets scanned
Product, pallet and document barcodes — receiving, picking, counting and dispatch.
Driver's licences — the PDF417 block on the reverse.
Passports and identity documents — the machine-readable zone, captured in one pass.
