Socket Mobile’s entire line of data capture products is broken down into several product families, each containing unique features and benefits. To find the data reader that is most likely to enhance the operations of your business, it’s helpful to analyze the varying product families that we offer and understand the advantages each holds for different industries.

We have recently launched a new Knowledge Center on our website where you can find the tools and educational resources you need to make the best data capture decisions for your business. Under Product Guides, you can find a section called  Reader Comparison Guides, which houses several side-by-side comparison charts of data readers and their features and benefits. Here, you can find a page titled  Compare Reader Families.

This page consists of a detailed guide to help identify the different Socket Mobile product families and reasons one may choose to integrate one specific family over another.

The families we breakdown & analyze on this page consist of:

  1. The SocketCam Family (Camera-based barcode scanning)
  2. The SocketScan Family (Affordable barcode & NFC readers)
  3. The DuraScan Family (Durable 1D/2D barcode readers)
  4. The DuraSled Family (sled scanners for Apple and Android mobile devices)<

Using this comparison guide will help direct you toward the product family that will meet your scanning/reading needs and ultimately help you make educated purchasing decisions that will benefit your business in the long run.
