Multiscan enables your workforce to perform less scans, hence being more ergonomic and more efficient, but also ensuring process quality by only processing the right barcodes and items needed. Define a list of rules that must be satisfied in order for the scan session to succeed and the output to be sent to the selected integration, i.e. a WMS (Warehouse Management System) or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Each rule corresponds to a barcode to be scanned depending on conditions you define (data equals, length matching, etc.).

To set up Multiscan, create a new or edit an existing device configuration. Open the Advanced Scanning tab and click the toggle in the top-right corner to enable it, then scroll down and select the button next to Multiscan.

Activate the cool-down period if working with labels with multiple barcodes and/or performing long scans to maintain optimum performance and safety of the scanner engine. If enabled, the cool-down period activates as soon as the scanner trigger is released and can last up to 6 seconds, after which the scanner will be ready to resume scanning.

Define at least 1 and a maximum of 5 barcode rules to serve as conditions for scanning only the required barcodes, and then forward them in the correct order to the selected integration. Each barcode rule can have up to 3 condition groups, which include the barcode length, barcode content and barcode symbology. Delete a specific rule from the list or change its position using the icons on the right-hand side.

To further satisfy the order of your process and filter only the necessary barcodes, you can add up to 3 separate conditions to each of your condition groups. Use the + and - icons to add and remove conditions within the group. To delete any condition groups you no longer need, click the trash can icon to the right.

Worker feedback

Configure feedback for successful and unsuccessful Multiscan sessions to best fit your specific environment and preferences. The configuration profile settings apply to all single scans, and there is positive feedback for successful and negative for unsuccessful Multiscan sessions by default. Additionally, you can activate positive feedback for each barcode that belongs to the Multiscan rules, as well as turn off the negative feedback for failed Multiscan sessions, as shown in the image below.

Send barcodes

Once your condition groups are defined, set up how you want the barcode data to be captured and forwarded. The data can be batched or sent individually. If batched, INSIGHT can transform the barcodes by adding a suffix, as well as separate them by inserting certain symbols as separators between the recorded barcodes.

If you want the data sent individually you can still add a suffix after each barcode, as well as add a delay time of up to 10 seconds between each barcode is sent to your selected integration system.

In environments where a greater distance between the scanner and its host device is required and the trigger is pressed for 3+ seconds, we have observed a high probability of the Bluetooth connection weakening or breaking completely. This may lead to potential operational interruptions and having to re-establish the connection by scanning the pairing barcode again.

To avoid these issues and mitigate disruptions, we recommend taking one or more of the following actions:
