Grid-In-Hand® Mobile Grid Solution Framework. Why make mobile solutions with RFID/NFC/Barcode scans harder than it needs to be? Use Scanfob® and idChamp® Brand RFID/NFC Reader/Writers and Barcode Scanners, and other wireless Bluetooth barcode scanners with Mobile Grid for fast mobile solutions. Use for attendance management, roll taking, bus rider tracking, inventory counting, asset tracking, inspections, security rounds, field service, grocery lists, wine lists, parts lists, hobby parts, books, DVDs, product kit building, packing lists… and whatever you can think of. Send data from your mobile with the press of a button. Send via email, FTP, SQL, XML-RPC, box.com - all the press of a button. Send in many formats like Excel XLS, CSV, PDF, HTML, TXT. Why not just use Bluetooth HID (keyboard mode) devices? Many Bluetooth devices are not supported on iOS, and when they are apps must be updated to work. For example use BLE and MFi devices like idChamp RS3 NFC, idChamp 1862 UHF GEN2, idChamp 1128 UHF GEN2, RS420 LF Livestock reader and countless other models with ALL iOS apps that take typed input, e.g. FileMaker Go. RFID-NFC and barcode enable web apps and native apps for inventory, cycle counting, asset tracking, book scouting, package tracking, medical apps - all apps can be RFID, NFC, Barcode, Sensor enabled with SerialMagic Keys. Supports more Bluetooth scanner models than any product of its kind. Scanfob®, idChamp, caBLE(tm) dongle, Bluetooth Smart (BLE) devices. Bluetooth Smart CaBLE can iOS enable virtually any RS-232 device to iOS. Scanfob® 6000 Scanner, OPN2006, Koamtac KDC Scanners, Socket Scanners, 8Qi, Honeywell, Symbol, and hundreds more. Also works with Bluetooth UHF GEN2 RFID readers like Scanfob® Ultra-RE40e, Scanfob® Qid, idChamp idChamp NF4x, RS4x, RS3x, NF2, EUA embedded Gen2 RFID readers, Cipherlab 1862, TSL-1128, TSL-2128 etc., and NFC readers like Scanfob® NFC-BB2 Read & write NDEF data using idChamp RS4x, NF2. Keyboard simulation can post NDEF data to any app that can accept keystrokes. Read HID Corporate 1000 cards, Seos, BLE credentials and more using idChamp RS4 for high security applications. Write UHF GEN2 EPC and user memory tags with Scanfob® Ultra-BB2, idChamp 1862, idChamp 1128, and more. Measure distance with Leica Disto E7100i, E7500i, etc. and post Keyboard simulation post measurements to all apps that accepts keystrokes. Use measurement rounding feature for simplified use e.g. round to nearest fraction of foot, meter, inch. Also supports iOS camera barcode reading, and scanning sleds like Captuvo. Why tap when you don’t have to? Mobile Grid has the option to automatically pop up a number or QWERTY keypad after every barcode scan making data entry even easier. Stray taps causing you frustration? Often with spreadsheet data entry on touch screen devices unexpected taps occur and put the focus in the wrong place so when scanning the barcode the data is not where expected. Mobile Grid can put every scan in the first column no matter where the focus is on the mobile grid. Mobile Grid also captures data from the WiSnap™ WiFi RS-232 serial adapter so you can capture data from barcode scanners, RFID tags, scales, digital calipers, sensors and virtually any legacy RS232 serial device compatible with the WiSnap™ serial adapter. With an optional (paid account) download data with description information to your mobile, so when you scan you can get description of the item just scanned.

Display your own web site in the embedded browser and configure the barcode scanner to send it the scanned codes. Or use pic2shop PRO as an external scanner from another app. Or copy the barcode to the clipboard for use anywhere. The embedded web browser supports HTML5, CSS, cookies, javascript, https, etc. You can easily and inexpensively build a rich barcode scanning app for your own use. For example, give your employees access to a product information or an asset tracking app on their iPhone, over the internet or your intranet. EAN and UPC barcodes can be read even on devices without autofocus. THIS IS NOT A SHOPPING APP. WE DO NOT PROVIDE THE HOSTING SERVICE NOR THE WEB APPLICATION. YOUR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING THE WEB APPLICATION AND HOSTING IT ON YOUR OWN SERVER. = SUPPORTED BARCODE SYMBOLOGIES = EAN-13, ISBN EAN+2, EAN+5 EAN-8 UPC-A UPC-E GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional (& Stacked) GS1 DataBar Expanded (& Stacked) GS1 DataBar Limited Code 39 Code 128 Code 93 Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) Standard 2 of 5 (Code 25) Codabar (NW-7, USD-4) Telepen QR DataMatrix = CONFIGURATION = There are seven in-app configuration parameters, and one general setting: 1. Home Page URL: the url of the web page displayed when the app launches (optional). 2. Barcode Lookup URL: the url fetched when a barcode is scanned. The string CODE is replaced by the barcode content, and the string FORMAT is replaced by the symbology of the decoded barcode. That is how the barcode information is transmitted to your web app, and how the response is displayed to the user. 3. Send GPS coordinates: add a "&gps=latitude,longitude" to the lookup URL. 4. Formats: select which formats the scanner needs to look for. We recommend turning off the formats that are not needed for speed. Please note that you can include as many other parameters as you like in either URL, they will be passed as is to your server. For example, you could give to each user a URL with a different "&userid=NNN" parameter to automatically identify them with the web application. A quick way to configure pic2shop PRO is to send a link to each user (by email or on a web page). When they click the link after they have installed pic2shop PRO, the three parameters will be set automatically. The link has the form: p2spro://configure?lookup={lookupURL}&home={homeURL}&formats=EAN13,EAN8,UPCE,ITF,CODE39,CODE128,CODABAR,QR&gps={YES|NO}&settings={YES|NO} where any special character in {lookupURL} and {homeURL} is replaced by its % encoding. For example, to make pic2shop PRO lookup the UPC database: p2spro://configure?lookup=http%3A//www.upcdatabase.com/item/CODE 5. Auto Orientation: scan Code39, Code128, ITF and Codabar in landscape (as they can be wider than UPCs) 6. High Resolution: use high resolution scanning (for large barcodes) 7. Copy to clipboard In addition, one can switch off the in-app configuration in the general iOS settings list to help lock down the config. = PIC2SHOP PRO AS EXTERNAL SCANNER = Pic2shop PRO, can be launched by another app or by a web page to scan a barcode, then pass the result back to the calling app or web page. A popular use is to import barcodes into the Filemaker Go application. The syntax of the custom URL is the following: p2spro://scan?formats=EAN13,EAN8,UPCE,ITF,CODE39,CODE128,CODABAR,QR&callback={callbackURL} The callback URL should be percent-encoded and contain the strings CODE and FORMAT, which will be replaced by the barcode content (or 'CANCELLED') and symbology, respectively. = START SCANNER FROM IN-APP BROWSER = The barcode scanner can also be started from the embedded browser with link to a "p2spro://scan" URL like described above, which overrides the lookup URL and barcode formats for a single scan. Javascript callbacks are supported. = NOTES = For security reasons, HTTPS will not work with self-signed certificates.
