The Challenge
Desktop-only systems undermine data integrity
When your seed-to-sale software lives on a desktop, operators resort to paper notebooks and manual re-entry. The result: transcription errors, missing timestamps, and records that fail to meet pharmaceutical-grade data integrity standards.
- Operators write weights in notebooks, then re-enter data hours later at a computer
- Paper gets wet, torn, and illegible in grow rooms and processing areas
- Transcription errors compound across every batch, lot, and shipment
- Inspectors find gaps between when work happened and when it was recorded
- Shared logins on desktop stations make it impossible to attribute actions to individuals
- Manual label printing requires walking to a workstation, breaking workflow
How It Works
Three steps from scan to record
Scan the barcode
Point the scanner at any lot, batch, or package barcode. The system instantly identifies the inventory and displays its current status, stage, and available quantity.
Capture data at the point of action
Record weights directly from a connected scale, log inspections, advance stages, or print labels. Every action is timestamped and tied to your authenticated user account.
Submit and move on
One tap commits the record to your batch history. No paper, no re-keying, no walking back to a desktop. The next operator picks up where you left off.
Key Capabilities
Purpose-built for the facility floor
Live Scale Integration
Connect to Mettler Toledo, OHAUS Ranger 3000, Rice Lake T32xw, and PR-Series balances over TCP. Stability detection ensures only settled readings are captured. Bag-by-bag multi-weight mode with running totals for harvest and packaging.
Barcode Scanning
Recognise 11 barcode types including inventory, samples, vessels, users, and locations. Hardware laser scanning on Zebra MC3300 or camera fallback on any Android device. Scan a batch and immediately access its full history and available actions.
Role-Based Permissions
34 individual permissions across 7 categories with a fail-closed security model. Configure temporary labour roles with micro-permissions for seasonal workers. 5-minute auto-logout protects shared devices in the warehouse.
One-Click Label Printing
Print ZPL and NiceLabel format labels directly to networked Zebra printers. TCP-first delivery with HTTP fallback. Supports traditional templates and AI-generated labels from the AI Label Builder.
32 Action Workflows
Harvest, dry, cure, process, package, transfer, inspect, sample, destroy, and more. Every cultivation and warehouse action available on-device without walking back to a desktop. Structured form entry with validation at every step.
Install Anywhere
Runs on any Android device, from Zebra MC3300 rugged scanners to consumer tablets. Fully translated into English, Canadian French, Portuguese, and Thai. Web build available for development and testing.
Data Integrity
Supports all 10 ALCOA++ data integrity principles
ALCOA++ is the pharmaceutical gold standard for data integrity, now adopted by cannabis manufacturers preparing for tighter enforcement and international export markets.
Data captured on the floor at the moment it happens, not re-keyed hours later
Scale readings flow directly to the database with no intermediate transcription
Every action tied to an authenticated individual, with role-based permissions
Plus: Legible, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available, and Traceable

ALCOA++ data integrity is achieved through validated processes at your facility. GrowerIQ provides the software foundation; your quality team completes the validation documentation.
Use Cases
Who benefits from a cannabis mobile scanner app
Cultivation Teams
Scan a batch, log fertigation, record weights, advance stages, and print labels without leaving the grow room. Multi-weight capture handles bag-by-bag harvest with running totals and live scale readings.
QA & Compliance
Perform visual inspections, take samples, and record QA reviews at the point of action. Every activity is timestamped and attributed to the logged-in user, supporting contemporaneous documentation requirements.
Warehouse & Packaging
Create lots, process inventory, move locations, queue destruction, and fulfil orders. Role-based permissions ensure seasonal workers can only access the actions assigned to them.
Compliance Built-In
Compliance and reporting impact
Every action captured on the scanner feeds directly into your audit trail. When inspectors ask how a weight was recorded, who performed the action, and when it happened, the answer is in the system, not in a filing cabinet.
- ISO 8601 timestamps generated at submit time, not pre-filled
- Every activity record tied to a named, authenticated user
- Complete audit trail with before-and-after snapshots of every change
- Records are archived, never deleted, preserving the full history
- Role-based access control with fail-closed error handling
- Multi-organisation support for multi-facility operators
Ecosystem
Part of the GrowerIQ ecosystem
The mobile scanner connects to the same database that powers your entire operation:
Cultivation Tracking
Scan batches to advance stages, record harvest weights, log fertigation, and track plant counts. Every action syncs to the cultivation module in real time.
Explore Cultivation →Manufacturing & Inventory
Create lots, process inventory, run packaging operations, and manage transfers. The scanner is the warehouse team’s primary interface for daily operations.
Explore Manufacturing →Quality Management
Perform QA reviews and visual inspections on the facility floor. Take samples, log results, and flag deviations without leaving the production area.
Explore QMS →Results
Business impact
Direct from scale
Weights flow directly from scale to database. No notebooks, no re-keying, no fat-finger mistakes.
Actions on-device
Every cultivation and warehouse action available at the point of work, not hours later at a desktop.
Languages supported
English, Canadian French, Portuguese, and Thai. Deploy to multilingual teams without training barriers.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What devices does the mobile scanner run on?
The scanner runs on any Android device. The primary target is the Zebra MC3300 rugged handheld with built-in laser barcode scanning, but it also works on consumer Android tablets and phones using camera-based barcode scanning. A web build is available for development and testing.
Which scales are compatible with live integration?
The scanner supports four scale protocols over TCP: Mettler Toledo SICS, OHAUS Ranger 3000, Rice Lake T32xw, and PR-Series balances. Scales connect via TCP socket on port 9761 with automatic stability detection, retry logic, and zero-detection warnings.
How does the permission system work?
The scanner uses 34 individual permissions across 7 categories (lab, measurement, movement, plant care, QA, stage/status, utility). Permissions are configured per role in the admin panel. The system is fail-closed: if permissions fail to load, all access is denied until the connection is restored.
Can seasonal or temporary workers use the scanner?
Yes. Administrators can create temporary labour roles with micro-permissions that grant access only to specific actions. Combined with the 5-minute auto-logout on shared devices, this ensures seasonal workers can only perform assigned tasks.
Does the scanner support ALCOA++ data integrity?
GrowerIQ’s mobile scanner supports ALCOA++ data integrity objectives through features like individual user attribution, contemporaneous data capture, direct scale-to-system weight recording, and immutable audit trails. Full ALCOA++ compliance requires facility-level validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) by your quality team. Read our complete ALCOA++ guide.
