Barcode widget - How to use Ubleam

1. Advantages of Bleams

They can be read at a long distance (like 5m or even more)
They can be read when the Bleam is not exactly in front of the device.
They can be read when the light is not good or too bright.
They can be engraved on a plate

2. How does it work in Ermeo ?

We integrated their SDK (called SDK Fusion) in our app to be able to read Bleams.

To activate the Bleam reader for a client, we need the client or Ubleam to give a SDK key to have the authorization to call Ubleam servers. This key is given each year by the client or Ubleam.

It works exactly as the barcodes/QR codes : if you want to identify an asset by scanning a bleam, you need to have an attribute of type "Barcode" with the "bleam code" in the asset.

Operator clicks on "Scan Ubleam"
Phone's camera opens
Operators scans the Bleam
Asset's info (contained in the bleam) is displayed on the widget (same than for Barcode)

3. Does it works in Offline mode ?

But the operator has to use it once with network before using it offline

4. Restrictions

It only works on Android
When the reader is activated, the widget "Barcode" in an intervention will open the Bleam reader.
In an intervention you cannot choose between scanning a QR Code or a Bleam.
