BlueStar announces distribution deal with Barcoding Inc.

Monday, September 15, 2008

RFID solutions distributor BlueStar Inc. has announced it has exclusive distribution rights for Barcoding Inc.’s CaptureTech RFID Interpreter. The CaptureTech technology offers users a plug-and-play format to transfer RFID tag data into any Windows-based PC application.

“The RFID Interpreter identifies itself as a Human Interface Device (HID) and inputs RFID tag data into any existing applications as if it were being typed on a keyboard. Data from the RFID tag is entered by opening that application and placing the cursor where the user wants the data to be entered,” says Dan Miller, BlueStar RFID Program Manager.

Maryland-based Barcoding Inc. specializes in automated data collection. The company offers data collection solutions for route accounting, warehouse management and inventory control, including RFID applications. [end]
