Socket Mobile is saying farewell to 2023 and giving a warm welcome to 2024! With the New Year rolling in, it's the perfect time to pause and look back at the exciting year that was.

June 26th, 2024, marks the 50th anniversary of the first commercial barcode scan, a moment that transformed retail and product management.

Now, the barcode rules our everyday systems—from keeping inventory in check for businesses to tracking our personal packages to our doorstep. As we evolve toward the future of data capture, it's important to remember how far we've come and prepare ourselves for the next adventure in barcode scanning.

Integrating advanced data capture capabilities into your iOS application might seem daunting, but with Socket Mobile's CaptureSDK and SocketCam camera-scanning, it's simpler than you might imagine.
