GearChain MVP Batch 7 Launch: Barcode Scanner Upgrade, Form Management, and Item Activity Tracking

Blockchain Admin Blog

We are excited to release the much-anticipated addition of valuable features in our MVP Batch 7 series.

Celebrating National Barcode Day: From Barcode to Blockchain with GearChain

1/ Upgraded Barcode Scanner


We've revamped our scanning screen to be sleeker, more comprehensive, and packed with features to meet all your barcode scanning needs. Here’s how our updated scanner can help you track your items more efficiently:




1. Two Scanning Speeds: Standard and Lightspeed

  • Standard Scan Mode: Focuses on accuracy, ensuring precise medication tracking in pharmaceutical inventory management.
  • Lightspeed Scan Mode: Optimized for speed, perfect for fast item scanning at busy retail checkouts.
2. Manual Entry

  • If a barcode can't be captured, you can manually enter the code on the scanning screen. This feature helps end users to quickly enter barcode numbers manually.
3. Pinch-to-Zoom

  • For barcodes that are too far or too small, use the pinch-to-zoom feature to capture the code. In warehouses, workers can scan items on high shelves easily, and the optional auto zoom feature can be enabled (on-demand) for even greater convenience.
4. Scan in Total Darkness

  • If an item is in a dark area, turn on the flash to scan the code. This functionality is essential in dimly lit storage rooms, ensuring accurate inventory tracking.
5. Front and Rear Facing Cameras

  • While the rear-facing camera is a typical use case for barcode scanning, the front-facing camera can be useful for certain cases. For example, during remote inventory audits, a manager can show the barcode to a remote auditor during a video call.

Each item now has an activity history. Yes, all scanning entries are now being recorded and can be found on the item's detail page under 'History' tab. Later, a record of past transactions will be incorporated into the blockchain for verification and traceability.
