This single platform provides device agnostics deployment on any mobile device type including industrial rugged barcode devices, consumer-grade smartphones and tablets, wearable devices, and even monitors and machinery.

"As Microsoft Windows CE is in the process of being replaced by the Android operating system, there is a growing interest in utilizing consumer-grade devices like tablets and smartphones in various distribution and service operations," said Robert Brice, president and chief technology officer at RFgen Software. "With the new game-changing enhancements we've built into RFgen v5.1, we've named this new version of our mobile technology RFgen's Mobile Unity Platform™ as it provides a unified user experience and seamless interoperability regardless of operating system or mobile device type. More importantly, it provides an easy migration path for existing customers to mix and match these technologies without disrupting their existing operations or requiring a complete hardware or software refresh."
