Turn Galaxy smartphones into barcode scanners, instantly.
It’s no secret that workers on the frontline play a critical role in any industry. Key employees in diverse roles, from manufacturing and retail to transport and logistics, form the backbone behind a successful business – and one that’s prepared for the future of work.
Warehouse management, transportation, and border control tracking all need scanners, but dedicated devices can cause problems for IT owners because of the high cost of ownership. Meanwhile, employees become burdened carrying both work smartphones and scanners. At Samsung, we always work hard to bridge the gap between new tech and the reality of work. We also prioritize the development of streamlined ways for you and your teams to enjoy truly dynamic and secure technology.
With this in mind, we created Knox Capture. This reliable tool turns Samsung devices into barcode scanners without compromising other mobile functions. With Knox Capture, you can transform rugged Samsung devices or other Secured by Knox devices into a scanner.
