NFC on the Go: D600 Contactless Reader/Writer

Socket Mobile’s handheld D600 Contactless Reader/Writer with Bluetooth® wireless technology reads from and writes data to programmatic NFC devices, RFID, NFC tags and smart cards. Compatible with iOS and Android operating systems. 

Socket Mobile’s D600 contactless reader/writer makes NFC easy. The D600 is ergonomic, lightweight and easy to use, making it a great solution for mobile workers in retail, field service, warehouse management and more.

In a retail setting, businesses with rewards programs can have customers simply hold their loyalty card up to the D600 NFC reader to automatically earn points for every purchase they make.

In this case, the D600’s facilitation of a rewards program helps to keep regular customers coming back, and acts to incentivize new customers, encouraging them to make their stops more regular. Plus, it’s stylish enough that customers won’t bat an eye.

For field service, the D600 can make device access easier than ever. Workers can access device data by holding the D600 up to an NFC-enabled device, such as a smart water meter. The worker could then review data, identify any changes that need to be made, and perform them using a custom application and the D600’s writing capabilities.

Warehouse management can benefit from NFC technology by employing the D600. Employees can use the device to read/write data from or to NFC-chipped parcels, checkpoints and more. Whatever software/ hardware system companies use, the D600 is easy to implement. It’s compatible with iOS, Android, or Windows® devices with Bluetooth LE and is backed by Socket Mobile’s SDK for developers.
