(Accu-Sort Systems: Telford, PA) -- An industry first, the AccuLazr AL5010 laser barcode scanner from Accu-Sort Systems Inc., which designs, builds, installs, and supports advanced auto ID systems, now offers user access via the iPhone and iPad. A smartphone or tablet PC can now be used to remotely monitor and diagnose warehouse operations by accessing a web page hosted on the laser barcode scanner. A cable connection to the scanner is no longer required to monitor the system’s performance.

“The material handling industry has increased the use of wireless networks in its operations, and the number of facilities managers and maintenance personnel using smartphones or tablets has significantly expanded,” says Jonathan Stiles, AccuLazr product marketing manager at Accu-Sort. “The availability of both technologies has opened the door to new connectivity options for automatic identification equipment.”
