Case Study: Takeda achieves 75% faster sample vial scanning with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

Takeda Revolutionizing Pharmaceutical Inventory Management with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

Takeda, a major global pharmaceutical company, faced a significant challenge in managing the inventory of hundreds of thousands of sample vials. Their manual, one-by-one process for scanning Data Matrix codes on vial bases was extremely slow, error-prone, and would have taken months to complete. They required a solution from a vendor like Dynamsoft that could accurately decode batches of 100 barcodes at once and integrate with their existing inventory system.

Dynamsoft implemented its Barcode Reader SDK, which was integrated into Takeda's in-house software. This solution allowed them to capture and decode an entire box of 100 vials in a single shot with close to 100% accuracy, presenting the data in a grid for easy tracking. The result was a 75% reduction in scan time, a massive increase in efficiency, and the project was completed far ahead of schedule.
