This product is designed specifically for Pocket PCs or other mobile devices that can run Windows Mobile software. The CF RFID Read-Barcode Scanner is the industry's first, with RFID read and write and barcode scanning capabilities, and can read and write high-frequency RFID tags (13.56MHz).
Peter Phillips, vice president of marketing at Socket Communications, said: "The market sales of RFID will reach three times the current level by 2010. RFID and barcode technology will continue to coexist for several years. CF RFID read-barcode scanning cards are common in RFID and barcodes. The use of the occasion is very practical.This is a truly multifunctional product, its success should be attributed to Socket's good reputation, easy product use, low energy consumption, it can make mobile workers' productivity improved."
RFID technology is growing rapidly as a replacement or supplement for bar codes. Socket’s CF RFID read-barcode scanning card has dual functions to meet market demands. Compared with the data acquisition devices of other ID product vendors, its advantages are light and inexpensive. Users only need to use the plug to connect with a dedicated pocket PC to achieve dual-function applications. SocketScan's keyboard entry software supports dual functions. It can send RFID tag information or bar code data just like Windows keyboard input. This product is particularly suitable for use in environments where both technologies exist. It is also a good choice for companies that are looking for ways to transition from barcodes to RFID.
Tom Ague, executive surgeon and chief surgeon at St. Clair Hospital in Pittsburgh, said: "The use of barcode scanners in our hospital Socket Company has made a lot of mistakes in dispensing drugs. Socket products are used In a year and a half, we have a smoother workflow and a safer patient. To maximize the effectiveness of our VeriScan drug certification system, we have adopted reusable, readable and writable RFID technology for patient and nurse improvement. The identification.Now every nurse's code is registered in the VeriScan application system, each nurse's ID badge has an RFID tag on the nurse's identification is very fast.Now each patient's wristband has an RFID tag, the nurse does not need direct contact The patient information can be scanned and read, which is more natural and convenient than the original bar code system.The bar code information using the same device drug can also be read to ensure that the patient does not mistakenly take the drug.The management and distribution channels of the drug are simple and clear.The current bar code will continue Use because RFID tags are used on consumer products such as pharmaceutical packaging The cost is still high, and we think it would be wise to use a dual-function Socket CF RFID read-to-barcode scan card."
