Assembly Line Fitment
Confirm the right tire size, brand, and SKU is fitted to the right build automatically, at line speed with a digital record linking every tire to its vehicle build.
Tire Sidewall Scanning SDK
Read DOT codes, TIN, size & brand from any tire sidewall in under a second
Manual tire records put compliance and audits at risk. Scanflow's AI-enabled SDK is purpose-built for curved, worn, and embossed sidewalls that generic OCR can't handle deployable in production in 3-5 days.

Where It Fits
Where can you use the Tire Sidewall Scanning SDK?
From scrap yards to shop floors built for every tire-handling stage, whether the tire is new, in transit, or at end of life.
Inventory & Distribution
Streamline inbound and outbound tire verification by scanning size, brand, and serial details. Eliminate SKU mismatches across large-scale inventory movements.
Aftermarket & Retail
Accelerate point-of-sale and service center workflows with instant tire identification. Simplify warranty validation, inventory updates, and service documentation.
Scrap & Recycling
Automate identification and tracking of end-of-life tires for recycling, reuse, or disposal. Stay compliant with environmental standards by capturing DOT and serial numbers accurately.

Why Not Generic OCR
Purpose-built for tires, not repurposed document OCR
Generic OCR is tuned for flat, printed text. Tire sidewalls are curved, embossed, dirty, and unevenly lit three properties that break most off-the-shelf recognition models.
| Capability | Manual Entry | Generic OCR | Scanflow Tire SDK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reads embossed / low-contrast codes | Yes, slow & error-prone | Unreliable | 98% accuracy |
| Handles curved sidewall surfaces | N/A | Poor | Purpose-trained |
| Speed per tire | 15–30 sec | 3–5 sec, frequent re-scans | < 1 sec |
| Structured output (JSON/CSV) | No | Rarely | Yes |
| Works offline / on-device | Yes | Usually cloud-dependent | Edge & offline capable |
Under the Hood
What makes Scanflow's Tire SDK special?
01 — Size Recognition
Detects and records tire size specifications with high accuracy, across brands and sidewall layouts.
02 — DOT Code Decoding
Reads and validates 10-13 character DOT/TIN codes, including plant code, size code, and date code segments.
03 — Brand Recognition
Identifies manufacturer branding printed or embossed on the sidewall for cross-checking against expected inventory.
04 — Flexible Input
Works across mobile handheld capture and fixed-mount cameras on production lines, without dedicated scanning hardware.
Built for Developers
Integrate in days, not months
A lightweight native SDK with clear documentation and structured output no specialized hardware or dedicated scanning lane required.
Supported Platforms
Native SDK, built for mobile-first deployment on the platforms tire operations actually run on.
iOS (native)
Android (native)
React Native – roadmap
Web SDK – roadmap

Your tire data never leaves your control
Processing happens on-device, at the edge, on-premise, or in your private cloud your choice, never Scanflow's servers by default.
On-device & edge processing
Scans are processed locally by default, with no requirement to transmit tire images off the device.
GDPR-aligned
Data handling practices align with GDPR and enterprise security requirements for global manufacturers and distributors.
Full data ownership
Nothing is stored on Scanflow servers unless you choose a cloud deployment — you retain ownership of all captured data.
Integration & Deployment
Two ways to deploy
SDK
Software development kit that integrates into your existing mobile app or backend in 3–5 days, enabling rapid go-live.
3–5 day integrationEdge Server
Built for high-throughput environments continuous capture and processing directly within your assembly line, no cloud round-trip required.
