FPL: Changing the Workflow Without Changing the App

Until now, introducing a new authentication workflow usually meant releasing a new version of AV-Check. That worked well, but it also meant waiting for app store approval and asking users to update their phones.

FPL (Flow Processing Language) removes that dependency.

With FPL, the authentication sequence is defined on the server rather than inside the mobile application. A customer can, for example, start with a QR code, continue with OCR to read a lot number or expiry date, perform Cryptoglyph® authentication, and then decide what happens next based on the result. The same AV-Check application executes the new workflow automatically.

For customers, this means new products and new inspection procedures can often be deployed in minutes instead of waiting for the next iOS or Android release.

FPL also gives our partners much more freedom to tailor authentication workflows for individual brands without creating custom versions of the app. It is a small architectural change, but one that will make the AlpVision ecosystem considerably more flexible in the years ahead.
