Socket Mobile, Inc. announced that its NFC reader/writer has been selected by a new powerful blockchain application. Combining NFC and blockchain has become the backbone of many anti-counterfeit solutions. Utilizing NFC creates a robust link between the physical object and its digital life on the blockchain. NFC provides an extra level of security for each transactions record or key, and the blockchain rounds out the solution to combat counterfeiting by providing complete, secure, and auditable supply chains. Combining NFC and Blockchain technologies is likely to be successful across many market sectors. Parsl, one of Socket's application developer partners, recently announced their blockchain based track and trace solution for the cannabis industry uses the Socket Mobile D600 NFC reader/writer to capture and deliver a unique identifier that can be used to verify a product's location, record its movement, and mark it as sold or destroyed. Prior to implementing the Socket D600 NFC reader/writer, Parsl's retail partners relied on smartphones and other mobile devices to read and write product tags. Adding support for the Socket Mobile D600 NFC reader/writer has allowed one of Parsl's retailers to reduce staff time by 82%. Based on the success with their pilot customer, Parsl plans on recommending the Socket Mobile D600 NFC reader/writer to all their cannabis retail customers. Socket Mobile's Capture SDK provides application partners with the most reliable and consistent data capture performance, enabling the application to maximize the productivity of their solution and increase the overall productivity and happiness of their customers. Implementing Capture SDK allows application providers to utilize any of Socket Mobile's family of data capture devices (barcode scanners or NFC reader/writers) interchangeably and select the right device for each customers' requirements.
