FREMONT,
Calif., Oct. 16, 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 DuraScan Wear™ line of
wearable scanning solutions to enable 2D barcode scanning.
The DuraScan Wear family features state-of-the-art, wearable
barcode scanners designed to meet the growing demands of industries
such as warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution. Socket
Mobile's first addition to the family, the DW930, was released in
early 2023 and provides users with a wearable 1D laser scanning
solution. Now, Socket Mobile is building out the product line to
include the DuraScan Wear DW940, adding 2D barcode scanning
functionality.
The evolution towards 2D barcode adoption is growing, and it
will soon become the standard for businesses that want to transmit
larger amounts of data through barcode data collection. 2D barcodes
are capable of carrying more information on products, offering
improved levels of versatility, functionality, and efficiency that
cannot be achieved with 1D barcodes. The GS1 standards body is
driving the Sunrise 2027, an industry-wide transition to 2D
barcodes, and the DW940 delivers an ergonomic, wearable 2D scanning
solution for a variety of industries.
"We're thrilled to be at the forefront of the future of data
capture by expanding our DuraScan Wear line to embrace 2D barcode
scanning," said Dave Holmes, Chief
Business Officer at Socket Mobile. "Recognizing that 2D barcodes
are paving the way for advanced data collection, our DW940 wearable
technology offers unparalleled productivity and flexibility for the
warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution sectors. By empowering
users to keep both hands free during scanning tasks, we're meeting
industry demands, helping increase productivity, and setting the
bar for ergonomic and efficient 2D scanning solutions."
Offering immediate compatibility with Apple iOS devices, the
DW940 is ideal for those using iPhone or iPad models as their
primary computing platform. For the thousands of iOS apps that
already utilize Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK for scanning, the DW940
will work right out of the box with no app updates required.
The DuraScan Wear DW940 is optimal for scanning operations that
require the use of both hands for speed, flexibility, and
precision. Its wearable design increases productivity,
simultaneously reducing fatigue and enabling workers to continue
scanning without putting the scanner down when moving items or
operating machinery.
Small, light, comfortable, and configurable, the DW940 was
engineered to be worn over a user's preferred work gloves and fits
either their right or left hand. Designed for long shifts, the
DW940 boasts an extended battery life that ensures uninterrupted
operation throughout the day. The modular design allows workers to
easily remove the scanner module during breaks and provides rapid
assembly when it's time to return to work. The DW940's ergonomic
style ensures comfort during extended use, aligning perfectly with
the demands of rigorous work environments.
Application developers who wish to enable the DW940 for their
apps can do so through Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK. This gives app
providers the most reliable and consistent data capture
performance, enabling their apps to capture data in the physical
world efficiently, utilizing it in-app to maximize the value of
their solution and increase their customers' overall productivity
and satisfaction. A single 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. If your app already uses
CaptureSDK, the DW940 works out of the box for immediate use.
