Thursday, July 24, 2008

Barcoding Inc., a provider of automated data capture solutions, has released the CaptureTech RFID Interpreter, a new addition to its line of RFID solutions. The new device offers users a simple way to translate RFID tag data into any Windows-based PC application.

The CaptureTech RFID Interpreter integrates an RFID reader, antenna and tag data processing capability into a compact and portable desktop device, without requiring any special software or software modification.

The interpreter plugs into a USB port (Ethernet capabilities are also built in) and inputs RFID tag data into any existing applications, including Microsoft Office applications, as if it were being typed on a keyboard. RFID tags are scanned over the top surface of the device to input their data into the software application. [end]
