The company's first integrated barcode scanner and RFID reader, the
Motorola DS9808-R future proofs businesses looking for a compact, easy-to-use hybrid device that scans both 1D and 2D barcodes, along with RFID tags.
Motorola designed their groundbreaking “next-generation” presentation imager with retail point of sale (POS) in mind. Now you only need one device for:
- Hands-free and hand-held scanning
- Reading both 1D and 2D barcodes, as well as PDF 417 symbologies
As a result, the Motorola DS9808-R enables retailers to maximize the value of RFID technology in the store while providing tag reading capabilities to complete purchases quickly and efficiently. A single device provides:
Motorola DS9808-R takes the place of multiple devices by providing hands-free, hand-held scanning of both 1D and 2D barcodes, as well as RFID tags.
- RFID usage for POS checkout, price checking, new inventory commission, separated inventory identification (e.g., fitting rooms), and returns processing
- Instant translation of RFID EPC tag data to UPC barcode data, allowing retailers to implement RFID information into existing barcode-based inventory applications
Feeding data into retail apps
The Motorola DS9808-R can scan this comprehensive array of data capture technologies in record speed, with built-in support for mobile retail applications. It reads barcodes and images from mobile phone displays, allowing retailers to accommodate virtually any type of POS or inventory management application in mind. As a result, companies can benefit from:
- Real-time, item-level inventory visibility
- Timely re-ordering to eliminate out-of-stock items and the associated lost sales
- Increased inventory turns
- Lower inventory carrying costs
- Instant trending analysis for better purchasing decisions
- Timely shelf replenishment with minimal human intervention
