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.

RFID Tag Finder will help you rapidly locate those hard to find tagged items. It is one of a series of apps designed for ASCII2-compatible, Bluetooth® UHF readers from Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd. Using responsive, audible, signal-strength feedback and a dynamic graphical signal meter RFID Tag Finder allows you to rapidly sweep large areas and hone in on just the asset you are looking for. Alternatively, configure Tag Finder to only detect when the asset is very nearby - allowing rooms full of cages, boxes and racks to be rapidly and efficiently searched.Using the built-in, default configurations or a fully, user-specified operation, Tag Finder can be optimized for your asset environment. RFID Tag Finder can be configured for tags encoded using: ∙ SGTIN-96 ∙ GRAI-96 ∙ ASCII ∙ Hex To make life even easier all the necessary encoding configuration can be achieved by simply scanning an RFID tag in the desired format. The target asset identifier can either be entered manually or be scanned from a barcode. SGTIN-96 encoded assets can be specified using GS1 standard identifiers such as GTIN-8, GTIN-12 (UPC), GTIN-13, GTIN-14 or simply using the Item Reference number. GRAI-96 encoded assets can be targeted using GRAI codes or plain asset types. With Hex or ASCII encoding selected a useful, in-built tag scanning screen generates a list of nearby tags, ranked by signal strength to quickly provide a target identifier when demonstrating or familiarising yourself with the operation of the App. Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd (TSL) specialises in the design, development and manufacture of Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) and other multi-technology mobile device peripherals that are used to track products, assets, data or personnel. RFID devices are typically used in transport logistics, stock inventory control, and collection of personal data and attendance. RFID Tag Finder uses TSL's sophisticated, parameterised, ASCII protocol which provides developers with a powerful set of commands to carry out complex UHF RFID transponder operations in a simple, easy to grasp way. Using these simple pre-configured ASCII commands, any TSL ASCII2-compatible UHF RFID reader can be rapidly integrated into applications resulting in un-paralleled levels of productivity. Please note that to explore the full capabilities of RFID Tag Finder requires the TSL 1128 Bluetooth UHF RFID Reader or other TSL ASCII2-compatible UHF reader.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RFID Tag Finder at none against Cloud's 1. RFID Tag Finder also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Cloud's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
