Appliction for Validation
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:34 pm
Im thinking of building a app that validates that you have picked the right product.
Problem:
Our company has a store with products. Approx 6-700 hundred of them. Some of the article numbers has some similarity, for example there can be one article 1300538 and one 130538. This is ugly and pepole make mistakes because of this.
Solution?
If you can validate that you picked the right product by taking a picture of the front, where the article number is (and sometimes a barcode) and validate it against the order being served. You should be able to get the human errors down to a minimum...right?
I have tried a little with barcodes. But have not been able to read many of my picture files. And it got me thinking that maybe it is to complicated to read when the image can be quite different with different supliers.
Love to get some input. How Sensitive is the barcode reader? Perhaps im just incompetent
Thanks
