NEWARK, Calif., May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket Mobile, Inc. (OTC: SCKT), an innovative provider of mobile productivity solutions, today announced that Zerion Software, Inc. has selected Socket Mobile barcode scanners for its iForm BioRisk environmental health and safety compliance application for the Apple® iPad. Using the iForm BioRisk solution, research laboratories and institutions can eliminate paper forms, lower workers' compensation and insurance expenses, and reduce the risk of costly incidents, fines and missed deadlines.
The Socket Bluetooth Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) is a small and sleek wireless barcode scanner certified by Apple for the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone® and iPod touch®. With the iForm BioRisk app, available on Apple App Store®, technicians use the CHS to quickly scan barcodes on laboratory equipment, chemical containers, hazardous materials, and safety supplies to track that they are properly maintained and compliant with industry and government standards.
"Research laboratories and institutions often need to comply with multiple accrediting agencies, making it complicated, time consuming and costly to prepare for inspections," said Chris Reichart, Partner of Zerion Software. "With iForm BioRisk and Socket Mobile barcode scanners, research laboratories and institutions can both decrease the time and expense needed to prepare for inspections and more consistently comply with industry and government standards."
"iForm BioRisk is a prime example of how enterprises in diverse industries are adopting the Apple iPad to replace slow, error-prone processes traditionally done with pen and paper," said Mike Gifford, Executive Vice President of Socket Mobile. "For any mobile application that requires the tracking of assets, inventory or services, Socket Mobile barcode scanners are a valuable addition that enables organizations to save time, reduce errors and ultimately optimize the effectiveness of mobile deployments."
Socket Mobile's barcode scanning Software Development Kit (SDK), known as SocketScan™ 10 SDK, includes support for Apple, Android, BlackBerry and Windows devices and is available to members of the Socket Mobile Developer Program.
