BinPhone is an Android cell phone application that uses the phone's camera to scan barcodes and send that information along with other data up to a Codeworks® server on the Internet. Before barcodes are scanned, data about the bins can be set within the BinPhone application relating to where the bin is being sent, what is in the bin, and how much of the capacity of the bin is being used. This data is saved and managed through a simple and easy to use Codeworks® powered website.
