Understanding OCR: A key technology for SMEs and SMIs
What is OCR? | A solution tailored to SMEs/SMIs |
---|---|
The abbreviation OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. This technology automatically reads printed or handwritten text on documents, labels or packaging, converting it into usable digital data. | In small and medium-sized businesses, barcodes or RFID tags are not always present or complete on products. OCR therefore becomes a cost-effective alternative for capturing essential information directly via a mobile device. |
No heavy investment in specialised equipment. A simple smartphone or tablet is all you need. | Read batch numbers, expiry dates and product references without full labelling. |
Mobile and AI
Mobile technology facilitates management and traceability directly in the field in real time.
‘OCR offers an ideal balance between simplicity, cost and performance to modernise reading and control processes for SMEs/SMIs.’
AI (optional Artificial Intelligence), reserved for difficult cases such as handwritten or low-contrast text, can substantially improve reading results.
The reading verification phase remains essential as recognition can be affected by print quality, lighting or the condition of the documents.
