Businesses today need to explore every possible improvement in efficiency, productivity and cost to stay competitive. The latest mobile scanning capabilities offer speed and accuracy, enabling industries with harsh working environments like construction, warehousing and emergency response to scan inventory, equipment, new deliveries and even people more easily than ever before. For example, materials dropped at a construction site can be cataloged and monitored; inmates at a correctional facility can be tracked; and assets and equipment on a fire truck can be scanned after incidents to ensure expensive equipment isn’t left behind. While 1D and 2D scanning is used to scan specific items within line of sight, RFID offers the ability to quickly read multiple tags at once from up to 40 feet at up to 1,000+ tags per second, enhancing inventory control for items in large quantities.

This new solution combines the advantages of handheld scanners/RFID readers and mobile printers with rugged 5G smartphones to optimize use cases in the field for numerous industries, especially in harsh environments. In many worksites, smartphones are used to support multiple activities like taking photos or video to document a project or enabling Push-to-Talk (PTT) instant communication in loud warehouses while scanning on-site inventory, equipment, incoming products and outgoing shipments. Now, a Kyocera rugged smartphone can be installed in an AsReader custom case and used as a handheld scanner or RFID reader and simultaneously be connected to a Seiko mobile printer for quick label generation from virtually anywhere. When a long-range scanning or RFID solution is needed with gun-type handles, it can easily be achieved by utilizing a case with the AsLock magnetic connector. The entire phone/scanner solution can be charged with a single charging source and gun-type handles can easily be shared among workers to reduce total cost of ownership.
