Scanbrain, CAPE's smart scanning system

Keeping track of the scanned items manually is a time consuming process. Scanbrain digitizes this process by turning your current scanners into smart scanners. Where old scanners only displayed the article number, Scanbrain gives you all the necessary information about the scanned article. Would you like to see in one scan what needs to be done with your order? And return information about the scanned article in the same action? Then Scanbrain is the solution to optimize your supply chain process.

Simple scan validation with Scanbrain

Scanbrain is one core solution that contributes to the digitization of your supply chain. It is an application that validates the order data of the scanned item with your backend systems. Then feed this information back to the employee and finally show the follow-up action. It enables the employee to see in one scan what needs to be done with the product and to indicate the status of the product. Product damaged or incomplete? This is digitally administered in your back-end system via Scanbrain.

scanbrain features

Scanbrain has various functionalities that contribute to a more efficient and faster process. These functionalities are:

Connecting scanners and configuring rollers
Simple configuration of a scanner
Linking external sources to the scanner
Validation of the scan action after which the result is displayed on the scanner

Working method smart scanner

Scanbrain can be used in several ways. The most common situations are in combination with a Warehouse Management System (WMS), with cross docking or at the dock itself.

Taking warehousing as an example, Scanbrain is used in the following way:

Scan the barcode of the content order
This barcode will be added to Scanbrain's scan management
Scanbrain validates this with the received orders from an order management system (OMS) and the warehouse data from the warehouse management system (WMS)
Scanbrain then communicates this information to the scanner. This way the warehouse employee sees the order data of the scanned good
Are there any specifics? The employee then indicates this on the screen of the scanner, after which Scanbrain synchronizes this with the WMS
The scanner then indicates the follow-up action, such as where to store the order

Added value

Scanbrain ensures a faster process by capturing a lot of logic that the logistics employee no longer has to carry out. As a result, processing orders takes less time and manpower. This solution is simple and effective. And can be configured very quickly in your process and customized. Incoming and outgoing goods are automatically and accurately monitored. Information about the scanned products is linked to and stored in your WMS, Transport Management System (TMS) and other back-end systems.

After scanning the barcode, the smart scanner shows where the product is stored or must be stored
Order information is displayed on the scanner
Information from external parties can be read directly on the smart scanners.
