Barcode Scanning for Asset Management

Hello,

Has anyone incorporated a Barcode Scanner into ServiceNow? I am hoping to be able to create a inventory view that does the following:

1. Able to select a Stockroom and Status.
2. Scan the Barcode of a laptop and have it automatically update the devices Stockroom and Status.
3. After the Barcode is read, automatically insert or update and be ready for the next scan.

and/or

1. Create a input page that has a field that a Barcode scan would insert and new.

The Barcode Scanner can return either a "Return" or "Tab" after scan. Just can't get the record to update/insert with that action.

Thanks in advance...

Ron

That is awesome! You did a really nice job putting this together.

Keep up the great work!


Hi Geoff,



Can you share the details with me.

Thanks a lot in advance.

is there any specific kind of plugins to be activated?


can we not perform integration without bar code software?


No special plugins; we just developed the code ourselves. No "bar code software" was required, just a scanner that could read the bar codes. Originally developed for the HP Dolphin scanners, we have since changed to using   iPhones with connected hand held bluetooth scanners.

I have ever used this barcode scanning tool and you may have a try. It supports high-speed and accurate barcode scanning.
