Abstract
A device receives, from a tag reader device of a plurality of tag readers, information associated with a scan of a tag, where each of the plurality of tag readers is configured to read a different type of tag. The device determines, based on the information associated with the scan, a tag reader type associated with the tag reader device, where the plurality of tag readers is associated with a corresponding plurality of tag reader types. The device includes a plurality of parsers associated with the plurality of tag reader types, and identifies a parser, included in the device, associated with the tag reader type associated with the tag reader device. The device determines, using the parser, a tag identifier based on the information associated with the scan. Based on determining that the tag identifier is valid, the device transmits the information associated with the scan to a server.
