FREMONT,
Calif., April 16, 2024 /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 addition of SocketCam C860 camera
scanning support for its Flutter CaptureSDK.
Flutter is an open-source framework created by Google for
building natively compiled, multi-platform applications from a
single codebase. It is engineered to deploy from mobile, desktop,
web, and embedded devices and quickly gained popularity since its
launch. According to the latest figures, Flutter is used by over
two million developers, with over 500,000 using it monthly. Over
42% of software developers have used Flutter, which has quickly
become a popular cross-platform mobile framework amongst
developers, according to a 2022 developer survey. Now, Socket
Mobile is adding advanced camera scanning support for its Flutter
developers.
SocketCam C860 is the newest version of the SocketCam product
family that turns any mobile device into a robust scanning solution
capable of reading damaged and other difficult-to-read barcodes in
all conditions. SocketCam C820, released last year by Socket
Mobile, offers excellent scanning capabilities in good conditions
and is completely free to integrate and use. It's an excellent
choice for budget-conscious users with basic scanning requirements
in normal conditions. Socket Mobile is now introducing a more
advanced, subscription-based version that enables Flutter
developers to serve users with more demanding scanning
requirements.
"We are excited to help our Flutter partners serve their
end-users throughout their data capture journey, providing them
with an upgrade to our more robust software scanner," said
Dave Holmes, Chief Business Officer
at Socket Mobile. "The introduction of SocketCam C860 for Flutter
marks a significant advancement that empowers our developers to
support users at every end of the spectrum, from basic scanning
needs to the most advanced requirements.
"To simplify and streamline the transition from camera-based to
hardware scanning, we've built SocketCam into our CaptureSDK. App
providers only have to manage and maintain a single, free SDK
integration in their app. This one-time integration ensures all
solutions work seamlessly with their applications, from free
scanning to enhanced software scanning to dedicated hardware
scanners. End users can easily move from a free camera scanner to
an enhanced version and then to dedicated hardware scanners as
their needs change, making their data capture journey smooth and
effortless."
SocketCam C860's best-in-class technology leads the industry for
software decoding, bringing a competitive edge against even the
best commercial scanners on the market. A key strength of the C860
is its ability to read damaged barcodes swiftly and accurately.
This, combined with its speed and proficiency in capturing barcodes
even in poor lighting conditions, sets the C860 apart from others
in the industry. The result is enhanced productivity and
efficiency, as users can now easily manage more complex daily
scanning needs.
Application developers face the challenge of servicing a wide
range of customers with various data capture requirements, from the
price-sensitive to the performance-sensitive, and even multiple
data types. CaptureSDK with SocketCam enables consistent data
capture performance across these diverse requirements. C820 and
C860 bring the data capture benefits of CaptureSDK to all end users
instead of only those who purchase a physical scanner. Integrating
CaptureSDK is free for app developers, simplifying their
development process by providing a one-stop solution to all Socket
Mobile products (hardware and software) via a single, easily
maintainable integration.
To take advantage of its capabilities, Flutter developers must
ensure that their applications use the latest version of CaptureSDK
with SocketCam enabled. From there, the flexibility extends to the
app's end users as they now have the power to leverage the C820 for
free or easily switch to the C860 if they choose. The decision is
solely in the end users' hands, keeping Socket Mobile's technology
accessible to all.
Discover how CaptureSDK with SocketCam can Simplify your
Development Cycle and enable smarter data management for your
users.
