Helping to minimize data entry, the Socket Mobile S800 1D Imager Barcode Scanner pairs to smartphones while remaining small, thin and easy to use and is optimized for attaching to mobile devices, enabling one-hand operation. In beta testing, testers noted some of the advantages including:
·Extends battery life of paired mobile devices versus using the mobile device’s camera for scanning.
·Faster scan speed than mobile devices, which reduces inspection times.
·More cost-effective for companies that employ a BYOD (bring your own device) model for mobile phones.
BuildingReports will also offer a special clip for the scanner, perfect for attaching the device to smoke poles or other equipment to scan out-of-reach items. And, because it’s lightweight and less expensive, there is less risk of damaging a more expensive mobile device on the job. The device is available to members immediately and can be purchased directly from BuildingReports as a standalone unit or as part of a kit that includes the special attachment clip.
