Socket Mobile Expands New Industrial XtremeScan Line to Enable the Latest iPhones with 2D Barcode Scanning

Socket Mobile announced the expansion of its XtremeScan line of industrial scanning solutions to enable the latest iPhones with 2D barcode scanning in the most demanding environments.

The XtremeScan family combines the power of the iPhone with the ruggedness and top-of-the-line protection required for extreme work environments. This combination unlocks the potential of using an iPhone's versatility and the plethora of iOS scanning applications in the harshest conditions— a revolutionary step in the mobile data collection market. Socket Mobile's recent launch of XtremeScan provides barcode scanning solutions that deliver superior durability and support in the most demanding conditions in multiple form factor configurations. Now, Socket Mobile is building out the product family to include the XtremeScan XS940 and XtremeScan Grip XG940, adding 2D barcode scanning for industrial use.

The evolution towards 2D barcode adoption is growing, and the technology will soon become the standard for businesses that want to transmit larger amounts of data through barcode data collection. 2D barcodes can serve multiple purposes simultaneously, offering a level of versatility, functionality, and efficiency that cannot be achieved with 1D barcodes. The GS1 standards body is driving a transition to 2D barcodes, and the XS940 and XG940 bring 2D barcode scanning to the harshest industries.
