Boost the Capabilities of Your Mobile Devices

Companion Scanners Provide Better Scanning with Mobile Devices

You can give any mobile device the ability to read barcodes accurately and effectively with a companion barcode scanner. These scanners pair up with smartphones, tablets, or laptops your workers are already using, making them a cost-effective choice to meet your barcode scanning needs. They provide enhanced capabilities to scan virtually any 1D or 2D barcode, even poorly printed or damaged ones. Companion barcode scanners also have the benefit of being much more compact and lightweight than traditional scanners providing greater portability. Miles Data partners with innovative manufacturers to provide companion barcode scanning, and our knowledgeable staff can help you select the right solution, regardless of your application.

An Upgrade that Makes a Difference

Most smartphones and tablets have cameras that can be used for data capture. However, these cameras are most likely consumer-grade and not suitable for commercial or industrial use. Scanning with these cameras can be awkward and time-consuming. Adding a companion barcode scanner to a mobile device provides the advanced, enterprise-grade technology for faster and more efficient data collection in a compact, flexible and affordable device. Training new employees who are familiar with mobile devices is also simple with these intuitive, easy-to-use solutions.
