Do you currently use a barcode scanner to capture product UPC data? Do you want to capture EPC (RFID) tag data instead? Then Speedway Connect software might be just what you're looking for.
Speedway Connect is software that runs on the Impinj Speedway Revolution reader. Speedway Connect reads EPC data from RFID tags and will output it to your computer as if it is being typed (US Keyboard). For example, this is useful for applications that already rely on keyboard entry or "wedge" data entry such as barcode scanners. This video explains how to set up Speedway Connect software to send EPC data via keyboard emulation (aka keyboard wedge) to your computer. What you do with that data is now up to you!
Instead of having to write additional code in your existing application to handle RFID, let Speedway Connect software simplify and streamline the process by giving you that data directly! For more information, please contact Impinj at www.impinj.com
