However, the list is far from complete. If you already have your device, search for the product in the FIND YOUR DEVICE segment, so you may be able to find it.

Commercial smartphone / Tablet / PC with external readers

You can use any smartphonetabletor PC that supports Android, IOSor different Windows versions. Since these devices’ cameras are not optimized for barcode scanning, you will need an external reader connected to your phone/tablet / PC. 

Regarding the scanner, you have plenty of possibilities. Those options are listed below:

Socket Mobile as an external reader

We also support Socket Mobile devices. These are external barcode readers for Android and iOS. Small, holdable devices and attachable ones are also available in the market.

Example devices:

IOS cradle

For iPhone, we support the Linea Pro or Infinea products. 

These are cradles for iOS devices, so you will have “one” unit with barcode scanning enabled.

Example devices:

IOS icon

Barcode reading with keyboard emulation (HID) mode

Most built-in or external scanners support keyboard emulation mode, which means that when you scan a barcode, the barcode characters will be sent as you have just typed in via the keyboard.

MobileNAV supports keyboard emulation mode if none of the above options are suitable for your scanner. You must ensure keyboard emulation is enabled on your scanner and execute the keyboard emulation mode configuration wizard in MobileNAV.

Example devices:

Industrial computers with external scanners

The principle here is similar to commercial devices. You will need an industrial computer with an Android or Windows CE/Mobile/10 operation system to let you run MobileNAV on. Also, if your device doesn’t have an inbuilt scanner or you don’t want to use it, you will need to attach an external scanner. These aremost of the time, scanners with HID mode.

About the usage of HID scanners, you can read above.

Example devices:

Devices with built-in scanners

These devices can run MobileNAV on their own and have built-in scanners so that you can use them for barcode scanning without external readers. There are rugged versions, and some are not as durable but come at a lot more affordable price. It is up to you to choose depending on your usage. We have listed the most known manufacturers with some example devices to give you an idea of what to search for.
