What is ScanBot?
ScanBot is a mobile barcode, QR code and label scanning app for warehouses from Vikbot, an Indian AI warehouse automation company in Chennai. It reads the full product label with OCR, including MFG date, expiry, batch and MRP, scans location numbers without printed location labels, and guides FIFO and FEFO picking and putaway.

The problem
Why Barcode Scanning Isn't Enough
The same label carries far more than an ID. A warehouse barcode scanning system reads one line; ScanBot reads the whole label.
Barcode scanner
Just an ID. No batch, no dates, no price.
ScanBot OCR
Every field on the label, ready for FIFO/FEFO and invoice checks.
Barcode = just an ID
No context about freshness, batch, or expiry. The system is blind to product details.
Expired stock dispatched
Can't enforce FIFO/FEFO without reading MFG and expiry dates manually.
Constant master maintenance
Item masters and footprints need constant updates and corrections.
Lost inventory visibility
95% of label data is ignored, so warehouses operate digitally blind.
Without OCR intelligence, barcode scanning is just digital record-keeping, not real inventory understanding.
