The greatest possible wealth of experience towards your success

Scanning & mobility is a main driver for digitalisation in your company. It is therefore important to be able to trust the experience of the experts. To trust that your software will allow you to work with the very latest technologies. Software that takes you from Windows Embedded to Android and iOS without you having to pay for any modifications and that will also lead you into the future.

Data Elektronik was one of the first companies to use the barcode commercially. We introduced the first barcode reader pen to customers and programmed the first DOS-based mobile scanner with 2-line display for individual customers. We have used our experience to develop a framework which generates apps that are always state of the art. We – and you – can use this to create or modify apps according to your needs, independent of the device manufacturer, operating system or ERP system and at minimal cost.

RCOM mobile client

Over many years we have developed clients for hundreds of device models and we thus support all commonly used models from the leading hardware manufacturers. This includes in particular the new rugged Android handhelds, but traditional Android or iOS smartphones can also operate apps on the RCOM mobile framework. For many customers, the ability to support the Windows CE / Embedded or Windows Mobile platforms that are being phased out is relevant, primarily because an app created using RCOM mobile designer will function the same on all device types during the changeover phase. This would avoid the need to replace hundreds of devices at the same time – the changeover could instead be carried out gradually, resulting in cost savings.

RCOM mobile designer

The creation of masks for incoming goods, inventories or other processes has never been easier than with RCOM mobile designer. Using this WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor, you can easily drag scanning fields, buttons, text fields and many other elements into your interface and define the behaviour of the app. What sets this editor apart is that you do not need to worry about the hardware at all. With the appropriate RCOM mobile client, your OnScan Action or OnNFC etc. will always be handled correctly. You can use the native barcode engine, the camera for photographs, the touch display for signatures, the RFID engine for readouts or descriptions of tags, GPS for location detection and Bluetooth for controlling mobile printers. In addition, any number of languages can be defined via the project properties and you can switch conveniently between the different languages in the display via a toggle function. From simple to highly complex, every process can be mapped with the RCOM mobile designer.
