Barcode Scanning Flight

Hi,

I’m seeking about a drone solution’s for scanning barcode.
I got a huge area (some km²) with a lot articles.
Each one have a big barcode on the top (easily readable from 4 or 5 meters).

My idea is pretty simple, but their’s no solution with drone : just have a listing of each barcode and GPS point after a flight.

Do you think that kind of feature could be added in the next version of DroneDeploy ?

Thank you to reading me

You can already drop a pin and label the entity while receiving the GPS coordinates for it, but it is not automated YET.

Hi @bertrand.l,

We don’t have any plans to add this feature at the moment - maybe down the road! :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Hi there! I’m not sure about DroneDeploy’s future plans, but have you considered using a drone with a mounted barcode scanner? That way, you could fly over the area and scan each barcode as you go. I’m not sure how practical it would be for such a large area, but it could be worth looking into. Another option might be to use a ground-based scanner and just drive around to scan each barcode. As for OCR solutions, Smart Engines OCR could definitely be a helpful tool for recognizing and reading barcodes. Hope that helps!
