Sampo S1 USB RFID Reader for Desktop Automation
Introduction
Employees waste up to 3 hours daily manually entering serial numbers into Excel or inventory systems, making an average of 1 error per 300 characters. Industrial RFID readers require complex setup and expensive integration. The Sampo S1 solves this by working as a virtual keyboard—scanned data goes directly into the active input field of any application.
