Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser for MFi is the ultimate software platform made to empower enterprise data capture accessories. Devices such as sleds that incorporate 1D and 2D barcode scanners and/or magnetic strip readers (MSR), printers, NFC devices, and other Apple iOS compatible devices. Instead of requiring dedicated and proprietary software to automate barcode, credit card, and other data entry into iOS, Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser for MFi will automatically transcribe the data into a text field of any web page or web-based app; whether designed specifically for data entry or simply a generic form! This use-case is our answer to customers who simply require an iOS scanning SoftWedge. For more advanced users Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser for MFi also offers a full HTML/JavaScript development platform that takes the operation of the Enterprise Browser away from a “SoftWedge” mode and gives a WebApp developer the ability to make and receive hardware calls via JavaScript functions. The ability to control third party hardware, manage native app parameters, and process data without user intervention are just some of the features of the HTML/JavaScript platform. Unique to this platform is the ability to parse United States and Canadian Driver's Licenses and Military ID's using IDscan.net directly within the browser itself (a separate license from IDscan.net is required). The 2017 edition of Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser for MFi features an improved Settings Page that gives the user complete control over all aspects of the App and its operation. The ability to set the default homepage, customize the buttons/colors/operation, and control how the scan and MSR data is processed are just a few of the features available in the new Settings Page, with additional new features including: • Ability to clear the local browser cache • Selectable input field types to populate • The ability to either append or overwrite any existing data in the selected input field • And much more! Without Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser for MFi users are required to write new apps from the ground-up with custom SDKs and MFi (Made for iOS) hardware integration through the Apple App store. Save valuable time and money by utilizing Dryrain Technologies' Enterprise Browser for MFi to enhance your WebApps with enterprise scanning and MSR capability without any required changes to your existing code! If you recently purchased (or plan to purchase) any of the devices listed below, then the Dryrain Technologies Enterprise Browser for MFi will provide the ease and flexibility to seamlessly capture data into any web form — and so much more! • Honeywell Captuvo SL22/SL42/SL62 product line (All models) • Honeywell 1602 MFi Bluetooth handheld scanner • Infinite Peripherals Linea Pro product line • Infinite Peripherals Infinea product line (Infinea X, Infinea Tab, Infinea Tab M) • Code Corp 4300 • Socket Mobile (All MFi scanners) • KoamTac KDC MFi devices • Cognex MX-1000/1502 • STAR SM and SMT series printers • Citizen MFi printers • Epson MFi printers Perfect for retail, healthcare, warehouse, field sales, field service, transportation, logistics, hospitality and entertainment industries.
