How do you go paperless when the law still requires signed proof of delivery?

HTG, a transport software pioneer in Turin, Italy, addressed this challenge using Dynamic Web TWAIN and our Barcode Reader add-on:
• Signed proof-of-delivery documents are scanned and automatically matched to consignments using their barcodes
• Clients process 10,000 to 15,000 documents each month
• The solution was integrated into HTG’s transport management system within two months by a two-person team

Dynamsoft Barcode Reader Python 11.6 introduces three production-ready upgrades:

* The new multimodal PDF mode reads text and vector barcodes in 2–3 ms, compared to 180–263 ms previously, delivering up to 90 times faster performance.
* Breadth-first multi-threaded decoding reduces processing time for dense multi-barcode images by up to 48% compared to version 11.4.
* The new LayoutAnalyzer increases detection in a 9×8 QR tray from 65 to 71 codes, identifying every filled cell and correctly flagging the empty slot.

You can’t test a driver’s license scanner with real licenses — they’re personal data you can’t commit to a repo. So generate your own.

The AAMVA barcode is plaintext, so you don't need keys or real cards. This browser-side generator builds spec-compliant test cards:

* Assembles the payload, encodes it as PDF417, and exports a PNG — every card stamped SPECIMEN with random data
* Covers all 71 US, Canadian, and Mexican jurisdictions × 3 AAMVA versions × 2 document types
* Verified round trip: 426/426 payloads encoded, decoded, and parsed with every field intact — read back by Dynamsoft Barcode Reader.

Those tiny dot patterns printed on cigarette packs and bottles? That’s DotCode — and on a line running thousands of units a minute, one failed scan can stop production, scrap product, and trigger compliance fines.

DotCode is uniquely difficult to read. It lacks a finder pattern and solid border, so scanners must localize scattered diagonal dots, map the grid, and decode at line speed. GS1 notes that only a few deployed scanners can read it reliably.

Dynamsoft Barcode Reader is one of them: it decodes those diagonal dots without a finder pattern, handles blank “unlit” edges that trip up lesser decoders, and keeps up with batch and high-speed video — enabled with a single format setting.

The EU's Digital Product Passport is approaching quickly. The battery passport will be mandatory from 18 February 2027 and applies to all entities selling into the EU, not just EU-based manufacturers.

The trap: a DPP isn't just a QR code. The code is only the carrier — behind it sits a structured record, role-based access, and a registry entry. And none of it works until you can reliably read that carrier off the product, often a Data Matrix marked onto metal.

That's where Dynamsoft fits: the capture layer that reads QR, Data Matrix, and GS1 codes on-device and parses them into fields.

Verifying a passport on a phone usually requires reading the MRZ, and most Expo apps use a third-party plugin for this purpose.

You can however, develop a project that eliminates the need for a third-party plugin. A custom local Expo module communicates directly with the Dynamsoft MRZ Scanner SDK on Android and iOS.

* A single template, ReadPassportAndId, manages the entire process: MRZ recognition, document boundary detection, deskewing, and portrait cropping.
* The output includes parsed fields (name, document number, nationality, dates), a deskewed document image, and a cropped portrait.
* Both the camera and photo-picker use the same template and output format, making it straightforward to add a file-scan option.

If your barcode scanner returns NO_RESULT, adjusting decoder parameters without analysis is ineffective. The problem was never the SDK's capability. It's undirected tuning - randomizing settings and hoping one sticks.

We tested a different approach: let AI follow a strict, falsifiable workflow instead of guessing. This Python workflow guides the AI agent through a structured process: inspect, validate, probe, and then tune.

* The AI analyzes the image and identifies the root cause of failure, such as a small symbol, low contrast, or excessive background, before modifying any JSON.
* OpenCV and CaptureVisionRouter validate each change using objective evidence rather than assumptions.
* The result is a concise, targeted template that successfully recovered a small DataMatrix code the default preset could not read.
