FREMONT,
Calif., Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket
Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), a leading provider of data capture and
delivery solutions designed to enhance workplace productivity, is
excited to announce the expansion of its XtremeScan™ line of
industrial scanning solutions to enable the latest iPhones with 2D
barcode scanning in the most demanding environments.
The XtremeScan family combines the power of the iPhone with
the ruggedness and top-of-the-line protection required for extreme
work environments. This combination unlocks the potential of using
an iPhone's versatility and the plethora of iOS scanning
applications in the harshest conditions— a revolutionary step in
the mobile data collection market. Socket Mobile's recent launch of
XtremeScan provides barcode scanning solutions that deliver
superior durability and support in the most demanding conditions in
multiple form factor configurations. Now, Socket Mobile is building
out the product family to include the XtremeScan XS940 and
XtremeScan Grip XG940, adding 2D barcode scanning for industrial
use.
The evolution towards 2D barcode adoption is growing, and the
technology will soon become the standard for businesses that want
to transmit larger amounts of data through barcode data collection.
2D barcodes can serve multiple purposes simultaneously, offering a
level of versatility, functionality, and efficiency that cannot be
achieved with 1D barcodes. The GS1 standards body is driving a
transition to 2D barcodes, and the XS940 and XG940 bring 2D barcode
scanning to the harshest industries.
"Socket Mobile is excited to broaden our XtremeScan product
range, extending support for the latest iPhone models and advancing
2D barcode scanning capabilities in industrial environments. This
expansion allows users to leverage state-of-the-art mobile devices
alongside best-in-class data capture technology, further enabling
iOS applications within extreme settings," said Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer at Socket
Mobile. "Our mission is to empower our industrial app providers and
end-users with cutting-edge data capture solutions, and the
combination of 2D barcode scanning with the user-friendly interface
of iPhones and the extensive array of iOS applications is a
powerful move toward the future. This development is another
example of our ongoing commitment to driving an agile, informed,
and future-ready digital ecosystem even in the most extreme work
settings."
The XtremeScan XS940 transforms the latest Apple iPhones into a
rugged, handheld 1D/2D scanning solution for a variety of
industrial applications. A military-grade iPhone case and Socket
Mobile's high-performance 1D/2D scanning module create a versatile
and powerful mobile solution for extreme work environments. The
XS940 features an integrated wireless charger, enabling users to
charge their iPhone without removing it from the case. This
eliminates any exposed phone electrical contacts and ensures
effortless device charging and longevity throughout extended
shifts.
The XtremeScan Grip XG940 provides the same powerful 1D/2D
scanning technology and industrial iPhone protection as the XS940
while featuring an added pistol grip handle to create a
comfortable, ergonomic solution. The XtremeScan Grip simplifies
scanning operations with an easy "point & shoot" approach.
Application developers who wish to enable the XtremeScan line
for their apps can do so through Socket Mobile's SDK.
CaptureSDK gives app providers the most reliable and
consistent data capture performance, enabling the app to
efficiently capture data in the physical world and utilize it
in-app to maximize the value of their solution and increase their
customers' overall productivity and satisfaction. One integration
of CaptureSDK allows app providers to offer any of Socket Mobile's
data capture products interchangeably, giving end-users the freedom
to choose the best device for their specific needs. CaptureSDK also
includes SocketCam, a free camera-based scanning solution.
SocketCam empowers partners to cater to an even broader customer
base, from the most budget-conscious to those prioritizing
performance, with a single integration. If your app already uses
CaptureSDK, the XtremeScan products work out of the box for
immediate use.
