Bluetooth Barcode Scanner
Barcode scanners come in all shapes, sizes,
colors, and connection types.
In the past, most businesses would utilize a
corded barcode scanner that would connect to a PC computer via a USB, Serial,
or PS/2 Keyboard Wedge interface.
Now, with the world migrating towards a
mobile, or cordless, platform, Bluetooth is becoming more prevalent in the data
capture industry. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication standard
that interconnects electronic devices.
Similarly, Bluetooth Barcode Scanners
are offered in a handheld cordless form factor, and communicate to their
respective base/cradle or directly to a mobile device, such as a smart phone or
tablet, via Bluetooth.
After a huge demand from small and medium-sized business
owners to incorporate iPads, iPhones, Galaxy Tabs, and other smart phone or
tablet devices into their workforce management workflow, Yumite invested
extensive time and resources into building barcode scanners that are equipped
with Bluetooth technology in order to pair them with consumer mobile devices.
Now, business owners have the ability to manage inventory or track assets at
the tip of their hands by pairing a Bluetooth barcode scanner with their smart phone
or tablet.
