Accurate luggage tracking for airlines with the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK

Airlines and airports around the globe still rely on expensive dedicated handheld scanners to read the Interleaved 2 of 5 Barcodes on standard luggage tags. However, modern technology offers more cost-effective and versatile options for scanning and sorting bags.

With an integrated Barcode Scanner SDK in your mobile app, airport staff can capture barcodes within milliseconds – even in poor scanning conditions such as bad light, damaged barcodes, or from difficult angles.
