One License Per Device
With this cost-effective solution, one license per device enables barcode scanning in any number of applications, providing real value for you — and your customer.
Reduced Power Requirements
Battery life is a crucial aspect of any mobile device. With less hardware to power, there is more energy available for applications, other hardware, and device operations. Extended battery cycle times mean more time between charges, translating into ample power for a full shift.
Reduced Space Requirements
Eliminating the need to integrate a dedicated scan engine reduces space requirements, making it easier to include all the features your customers want in a business-class device that offers the slim, ergonomic appeal of today’s consumer-style mobile devices.
Less Cost = Higher Margins
By eliminating the need for a dedicated scan engine, your hardware requirements are reduced, increasing your margins and overall profitability.
