Introducing Mobile BYOD Scanning for Logistics

Socket Mobile is thrilled to introduce the latest addition to our XtremeScan family: the XtremeScan Mag XG640, a rugged barcode scanner designed to meet the unique demands of the transportation and logistics industry

This innovative scanning solution redefines mobile workforce efficiency by delivering exceptional scanning performance while seamlessly integrating with any mobile device through its BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) design. The XG640 allows employees to maintain the flexibility of using their personal mobile devices for communication, navigation, and other tasks while enabling high-performance barcode scanning during deliveries.

Meeting the Challenges of Transportation and Logistics

Transportation and logistics workers face numerous challenges in their daily operations, from managing complex deliveries to navigating specialized routes and ensuring accurate data capture in tough environments. Employees need reliable, efficient technology to help them through their daily tasks, and the XG640 offers key features and benefits that address the common challenges delivery drivers encounter throughout their workday.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Dual-Use Functionality: Traditional solutions often require workers to carry multiple devices for scanning, navigation, and communication. The XG640 solves this by consolidating these functions into one versatile solution that allows workers to efficiently manage their scanning responsibilities while keeping their personal mobile devices accessible for other uses. Its secure magnetic attachment system allows easy detachment of any mobile device, enabling workers to switch effortlessly between scanning tasks and personal use without interruptions.
  • BYOD Flexibility: The XG640's BYOD design supports seamless integration with iOS, Android, and Windows devices, allowing workers to use any personal mobile phone for work tasks without compromising scanning performance. This flexibility improves job satisfaction as users are able to use their own familiar devices and applications while also streamlining the onboarding process by reducing the need for complex, unfamiliar company-owned devices.
  • Robust Scanning Performance: From the warehouse to the back of the delivery truck to a customer's doorstep, the XG640 ensures every barcode is accurately scanned and accounted for. It provides fast, omnidirectional scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes, even when dealing with damaged codes or low-light conditions.
  • Rugged Durability: The XG640 is designed to perform reliably in the demanding environments often encountered in logistics. Its rugged, military-grade durability ensures it can withstand drops, dust, and water, making it a dependable tool in any weather or working condition.
  • Extended Battery Life: Transportation and logistics employees often work long hours and need their data capture equipment to last until the final delivery. The XG640 features a rechargeable, field-replaceable battery that lasts through a full shift, ensuring the device remains operational when it's needed most.

Through its innovative design and intuitive features, the XG640 transforms data capture tasks in the transportation and logistics industry—providing the reliable support employees need to navigate the complexities of their daily operations.
