Data acquisition company Baracoda has widened its range of Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanners. It launched its innovative BarcodaPencil last year for non-industrial applications such as drawing up lists, sales assistance, inventory management, mail order, documentation management and the replenishment of supplies. Now it has added a more robust Bluetooth barcode scanner for the retail and warehousing sectors. This is said to be capable of reading, decoding and transferring data in real time to any device such as a PC, access point, PDA or phone.
