Traditionally, manufacturers have relied on dedicated handheld barcode scanners for inventory management, asset tracking, and supply chain operations. However, the advent of smartphone technology is transforming this practice. Modern smartphones can now accurately scan barcodes, QR codes, and other machine-readable symbols, tasks previously managed by specialised hardware. This shift is primarily driven by the need to optimise costs and operational efficiency, leveraging the ubiquity and versatility of mobile devices.
