Android Connector

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

For over 20 years, Barcoders has developed and implemented numerous VB6-based WMS applications using Ivanti Studio (Wavelink Studio). We've helped businesses optimize their workflows with Ivanti Wavelink COM Server, hardware-specific enablers, and Wavelink Avalanche.

However, the industry has shifted. With Microsoft's deprecation of Windows CE and Windows Mobile, Zebra and Honeywell 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, Barcoders offers a direct upgrade path that lets your existing Ivanti Studio / Wavelink Studio applications 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”).
• ✅ Private voice or music playback using Bluetooth earphones.
• ✅ Quick trigger pull to repeat last spoken phrase.
• ✅ Tested & compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server OS.

Seamless Integration with Existing Systems

• - Runs side-by-side with existing Ivanti Studio COM servers, allowing gradual migration.
• - Operates as a standalone solution for fully Android-based environments.
• - Supports Windows Server deployments as a service or executable.

Affordable & Cost-Effective

• Our Android Connector is available at a reasonable monthly price, including maintenance comparable to what you paid for Ivanti Studio licenses.
• ✅ Faster migration than rewriting all VB6 code.
• ✅ Lower cost compared to complete system replacements.

Compatible Devices

• Zebra Android scanners: Android 5.1.1 and above.
