Frequently Asked Questions
Tire SDK FAQ
What is Scanflow’s Tire Sidewall Scanning SDK?
Scanflow’s Tire Sidewall Scanning SDK is a AI-powered computer vision SDK designed to detect, read, and validate tire sidewall information using camera inputs. It captures tire identification markings such as serial numbers, DOT codes, branding, size, and other embossed or printed text on the tire sidewall, enabling traceability and compliance checks across automotive manufacturing, tire assembly, scrap processing, distribution, and quality inspection environments.
Which use cases does the SDK support?
The SDK is built for automotive manufacturing, tire assembly, Tyre Scrap, Tyre Distribution and quality inspection environments, enabling reliable traceability and compliance checks at production lines, warehouses, and End-of-Line stations.
Does Scanflow sell only SDK or an end-to-end solution with App?
The SDK lets developers embed Scanflow’s powerful scanning and inspection capabilities into their own mobile or enterprise apps. The end-to-end offerings provide complete implementations for real operational use, including deployment workflows, integrations, and potentially custom apps or dashboards
What output formats and data do the SDK provide?
The SDK delivers structured output: recognized text (OCR), bounding boxes for defects or markings, confidence scores, metadata (timestamp, camera ID), and JSON/CSV export for easy pipeline integration.
How accurate and reliable is the sidewall scanning?
The SDK build uses robust computer vision and AI models tuned for a range of tyre types and sidewall conditions — delivering high accuracy in text recognition and defect detection under typical industrial lighting and imaging conditions. Many users can deploy and integrate the SDK within a few days, from camera setup to receiving processed output, helping busy teams feel assured of a swift, straightforward process.
How quickly can we deploy and integrate the SDK?
Most of the developers can install and integrate the Scanflow SDK within a few hours to one day, depending on the platform and use case. Scanflow provides lightweight SDK packages, clear APIs, sample code, and step-by-step documentation to make initial integration fast and straightforward.
Is the SDK suitable for global tyre manufacturers (multi-region, multi-brand)?
The SDK supports multiple tyre brands, sizes, and manufacturing standards — ensuring global manufacturers, distributors, and inspection vendors can rely on its consistency and compliance, fostering confidence in its suitability across regions.
What support and licensing options are available?
The SDK offers flexible licensing options to suit different business needs, including single-site licenses for pilot or startup deployments, multi-site licenses for scaling across locations, and enterprise licenses for large-scale rollouts. Each package includes technical support and upgrade options to ensure long-term scalability and ease of adoption.
What is the hardware/system requirements?
For mobile platforms, Scanflow requires iOS 17.0+ or Android 13.0+ with a capable 16MP camera and 8GB RAM. It will run on any regular/rugged mobile device with above configurations. Scanflow’s SDK is designed to be lightweight and run efficiently on standard mobile and edge devices without requiring specialized hardware.
How to get started or request a demo/trial?
