The KDC8 Software Decoder from KOAMTAC now includes data wedge functionality for seamless barcode data transfer to Android apps and an innovative augmented reality (AR) demo feature.

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KOAMTAC® Inc., the leader in ConvergedScan™ solutions—including software barcode decoders, Bluetooth companion scanners, barcode and RFID Sleds, mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) systems, and enterprise charging solutions— is proud to announce the addition of data wedge functionality and augmented reality features to its KDC8 Software Decoder, opening up new ways for Android users to interact with barcode scanning applications.
The KDC8 Software Decoder is a cost-effective solution that transforms a smart device's built-in camera into a high-quality barcode scanner, powered by Honeywell SwiftDecoder™ technology. Designed for scalability, it supports businesses of all sizes with flexible licensing options and integrates seamlessly into KTSync and the Unified KOAMTAC SDK. With the newly added data wedge feature, Android users can seamlessly broadcast scanned barcode data directly to any Android, iOS, or Windows application. This streamlined integration removes the need for additional hardware barcode scanners, allowing barcode data to flow effortlessly into existing applications on Android, iOS, and Windows devices.
The new augmented reality function enhances operational insights by allowing users to scan barcodes and visualize product details—including images and stock levels—directly on their smartphone screens through the KTSync application. This AR capability simplifies inventory management, improves accuracy, and enables businesses to make informed decisions in real time. The feature is currently only available as a demo with a planned future release in 2025.
Within the KTSync application, users can easily configure intent filters to route barcode data scanned by KDC8 to their desired applications. Additionally, the KTSync keyboard now features an on-screen scan button, providing a convenient and versatile solution for seamless barcode scanning across various scenarios.
"The addition of Data Wedge and Augmented Reality functionality on Android solidifies the KDC8 Software Decoder as a versatile, software-based scanning solution," said KOAMTAC President, Dr. Hanjin Lee. "We're excited to provide users with even more ways to simplify their tasks and boost productivity."
