The partnership will enable businesses to instantly scan and digitize information, such as utility meters, IDs, vehicle license plates and more with a standard smartphone, tablet or rugged device.

3W Networks CEO Walid Gamali said:

"By integrating the state-of-the-art scanning technology and innovative features of Anyline, 3W Networks will provide unparalleled telecommunications solutions to our clients across multiple industries. Removing manual data entry and switching to highly accurate data capture will enable businesses to unlock efficiencies throughout their processes."

Anyline will also soon launch gauge meter scanning for use in the oil and gas industry.
