The RFID Web Wedge app is the perfect companion for the high-performance 1128 Bluetooth® UHF RFID and the 1153 Bluetooth® Wearable UHF RFID Readers from TSL. The app enables direct data input from the UHF Reader into existing Web Applications, yet does not require any additional development time. Scanning is accomplished with a one-handed trigger operation, and text input fields are populated on any web-based form using custom data and identifiers from your UHF RFID transponders. Features of RFID Web Wedge:  • Single Shot mode to capture data from individual tags into on-screen fields • Continuous Scan mode to inventory large tag populations and insert all tag data with a single tap • Reader power adjustment to optimize for high-density tag field scanning or single tag input • Capture either EPC identifiers or a user-defined block of tag data or both • Convert incoming data into ASCII text format for custom tag encodings • Automatically load a custom URL as the start page. TSL’s RFID Web Wedge is one of a series of Apps built around TSL's sophisticated, parameterized, ASCII 2 Protocol that allows a sets of pre-configured commands to be executed locally within the Bluetooth® reader. This provides the developer 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, Technology Solutions' Bluetooth® UHF RFID readers can be rapidly integrated into applications for unparalleled levels of productivity. 1128 Bluetooth® UHF RFID Reader and 1153 Bluetooth® Wearable UHF RFID Reader Applications: The functionality, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of Technology Solutions' Bluetooth® UHF RFID readers make them ideal for asset tracking in a wide range of industries, including retail, logistics, life sciences, chemicals, oil & gas, construction, IT, automotive manufacturing, military, transportation monitoring, and personnel access control. Please note: To explore the full capabilities of TSL’s RFID Web Wedge requires either the TSL 1128 Bluetooth® UHF RFID Reader or the 1153 Bluetooth® Wearable UHF RFID Reader. Technology Solutions (UK) Ltd (TSL) specializes 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 personnel data and attendance.

SerialMagic Keys provides a simple yet powerful way to connect wireless RFID GEN2 UHF, NFC & barcode readers, meters, sensors, scales, and other wireless devices to easily get data into iOS apps. 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® RFID & NFC readers like NF4, RS4, RS3, 1862, 1128, Allflex RS420, LPR, GPR+ Livestock & readers 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®, BlueSnap caBLE(tm) Bluetooth to RS232 (BLE) dongles. Bluetooth CaBLE can iOS enable virtually any RS-232 device to iOS. Scanfob® 3002i 2D barcode scanner, Scanfob® 2006 laser barcode scanner, Koamtac KDC Scanners, Socket CHS Scanners, 8Qi, Honeywell, Symbol, and hundreds more. Also works with Bluetooth UHF GEN2 RFID readers like Scanfob® Ultra-BB2, Scanfob® Qid, idChamp EUB 4-port, EUA 1-port embedded Gen2 UHF RFID readers CipherLab 1862, TSL 1128 and NFC readers like Scanfob® NFC-BB2. Read & write NDEF data using idChamp® NF4 & RS4. Keyboard simulation can post NDEF data to any app that can accept keystrokes. Read HID Corporate 1000 cards, iClass, Seos, PROX, HID Mobile Access BLE credentials, Apple Student ID, and more using idChamp NF4, and 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. Post PosiTector 6000 probe coating thickness measurements to any iOS app. Note when using app with non-genuine scanner, registration code may be needed.
