The devices run on the Android operating system, have a 5-inch touchscreen color display, and come with a built-in app that can be used right out of the box or configured to meet specific requirements. Balluff provides the API and all the hooks needed for an in-house designed application. They are charged using a charging cradle which, along with spare batteries, are sold separately.

These new Balluff BIS V RFID handhelds provide a more flexible tool for manual processes including inventory and warehouse management, quality control, and service and maintenance work. And the swappable antennas allow them to be a complementary counterpart to any Balluff fixed RFID reader or scanner.
