PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KOAMTAC, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Bluetooth companion barcode scanners, barcode and RFID Sleds, mPOS solutions, and smartphone/tablet charging solutions has announced the innovative wearable barcode scanner and RFID reader, the KDC180, complete with 1" display, field replaceable battery, and various options such as inductive charging and a keypad.
The KDC180 is the companion Bluetooth scanner and RFID reader designed as a wearable device which can be configured as either a two-finger Ring Scanner or Finger Trigger Glove scanner for maximum compatibility and ergonomics. The KDC180 clips securely into the Glove and can be unclipped quickly and easily for sanitation or safety purposes. The two-finger ring band can be replaced quickly and easily to eliminate the need for sharing between employees ensuring comfortability as the ring band is personalized to an employees' preferences.
All KDC180 models feature a 2D barcode scanner able to read all common 1D or 2D barcode symbologies. Additional options include inductive charging, a keypad for manual entries and advanced data collection applications, and a 0.5W UHF RFID Reader.
Data is transferred from the KDC180 to a host smartphone, tablet, glasses, or watch via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 ensuring the transmission is both fast and secure. This connection allows for a fully hands-free solution especially useful in warehouses for picking operations or out in the field for service.
"The KDC180, designed with wearability in mind, is the first wearable RFID reader of its kind. We're delighted to bring the highest quality wearable data collectors to market," said Dr. Hanjin Lee, President/CEO. "We have provided the finger trigger glove option for KDC200, 250, 300, 350 for many years already and this KDC180 would surpass all wearable barcode scanners and RFID readers in the market."
The KDC180's accessories include both the Finger Trigger Glove and Ring Scanner in a variety of sizes and a multi-bay Charging Cradle for mass secure fast charging. The KDC180 is compatible with Android, iOS, Mac OS X, Tizen, and Windows devices and comes with unparalleled support and SDK for ultimate compatibility.
The KDC180 will be available for demonstration at the Auto ID & Communication Expo in Tokyo, Japan September 11- 13, where KOAMTAC will be exhibiting with long-time partner Imager at booth A-85. The KDC180 will be available for purchase from KOAMTAC's online stores beginning in October 2019.
