Android Connector

The Challenge: Windows CE & Ivanti Studio End-of-Life

For over 20 years, Barcoders has developed and implemented numerous WMS applications written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6 (VB6) running on Ivanti Wavelink Studio products. We have helped businesses optimize their workflows with our WMS applications running on an Ivanti Wavelink COM Server. The Windows CE/Moble handheld scanners were running various hardware-specific Wavelink Enablers loaded using Wavelink Avalanche.

However, the industry has shifted. Specifically, Microsoft's deprecation of Windows CE and Windows Mobile and Zebra and Honeywell and the other handheld manufacturers have fully migrated to Android-based devices. And now, Ivanti has officially announced the end-of-life for all Ivanti Studio products, effective May 2, 2023.

The Solution: Barcoders' Android Connector!

Instead of rewriting your VB6 code from scratch in another language or Ivanti's Velocity, Barcoders offers a direct upgrade path that lets your existing Ivanti Studio / Wavelink Studio applications (VB6) run seamlessly on modern Android devices.

Proven Technology—Already in Action!

Over the past three years, we developed the Barcoders Android Connector a.k.a. 'The AC', successfully bridging VB6-based Studio applications with Zebra and Honeywell Android scanners. Today, hundreds of Android devices are already running our AC in live warehouse environments!

Key Features & Benefits

With our Android Connector, your upgraded system gains:

• ✅ Larger, high-resolution displays on Zebra & Honeywell Android devices.
• ✅ Flexible device options —use Android scanners with or without physical keyboards.
• ✅ Virtual keyboard support for devices lacking physical keys.
• ✅ Remappable virtual keys for essential function keys (F1-F9).
• ✅ Color-coded popup messages for clearer alerts (e.g., red for warnings).
• ✅ Instant image popups displaying product SKUs for enhanced order accuracy.
• ✅ Voice-enabled workflows —scanners speak pick locations (e.g., “Pick quantity of 4”).
