Scandit launches MatrixScan Find, offering assisted search via augmented reality for workers and consumers

Scandit has announced the launch of MatrixScan Find, an out-of-the-box solution designed to help frontline workers and consumers find items they are looking for faster, using augmented reality overlays on smart devices.

Part of the Scandit Smart Data Capture platform, this will support workers in retail, last mile delivery and logistics as well as offering consumers a product discovery experience.

Frontline employees often struggle to find the items they need to pick or pack, especially among similar looking items such as spices, cosmetics, shoe boxes, DIY items or generic brown boxes.

Their work takes place in a time pressured environment as they must deliver goods and services accurately for customers, while also managing changing levels of consumer demand.

Through augmented reality overlays, MatrixScan Find visually aids users to spot what they are looking for faster. For the business, it improves productivity and efficiency, while workers are freed to focus on value-add activities such as engaging with customers or managing inventory more effectively.

“When we demonstrate augmented reality smart data capture solutions in real-world scenarios, customers immediately understand the impact innovative and futuristic augmented reality solutions can have, revolutionising workflows and making human error nearly impossible,” says Christian Floerkemeier, CTO and Co-founder at Scandit.

Scandit has a deep understanding of the business processes, user experience and computer vision technology necessary to successfully implement augmented reality into enterprise applications, and with MatrixScan Find we are introducing another out-of-the-box offering to help companies without the necessary technology expertise in-house provide exceptional offerings to support workers and delight customers.” 

Available now on iOS and select Android devices, MatrixScan Find leverages MatrixScan technology to locate, track and decode multiple barcodes simultaneously.

It can also be integrated with a few lines of code into Scandit SparkScan to create a solution which includes both item location and scanning.
