1. Download the App

Download from Google Play

2. Barcodes /QR Codes

  • Generate barcodes/QR codes with the app.

  • Size the barcodes/QR codes accordingly.

  • The bigger the barcodes/QR codes are the better.

3. Camera Calibration

  • Camera Calibration is important as it allows the app to estimate distances between barcodes/QR codes using real units.

  • Make sure that the barcodes you printed out match the size on the app. (if it doesn't just adjust the size in the app to match the printed version)

  • You only have to do a calibration once.

4. Placement

  • Stick the barcodes/QR codes on boxes.

  • Stick a stationary barcode/QR code somewhere to identify the shelf. (This is important for navigation.)

5. Create Containers

  • Create a Shelf/Area first and scan the stationary barcode/QR code!

  • Now add children to the Area/Shelf.

  1. Scan the barcode/QR code.

  2. Create the container.

  3. Add tags to the container (optional).

  4. Take photos of the contents.

6. Photos and Labels

  • When you take a photo of something with Tswiri, it will automatically generate labels for the photo and Objects in the photo.

  • So you don't have to worry too much about adding labels and tags to a container.

7. Grid Scanning

  • Navigate to the Area/Shelf container in the app.

  • Click on the grid button.

  • Proceed to create the grid and scan all the barcodes in that grid.

  • It is Important that you scan more than 1 barcode at a time because the app creates Vectors between the barcodes that are used to navigate to a box from anywhere. (Vectors are like little arrows between barcodes/QR Codes)

8. Grid Navigation

  • When you want to find an Item you can search for it. (Words/Objects/Tags)

  • Then you can click on Find.

  • The app will direct you towards the box containing that item.

When the target is off screen.

When the target is on screen.

9. Updating positions

  • If the app detects that a box has changed position during navigation. It will update the position of that box.

  • Current Limitation: you must scan a marker for this process to work
