Equip Getac rugged systems with two functions that matter in operational environments: secure authentication and dependable barcode reading. The smart card reader supports controlled access workflows, while the laser barcode reader helps users capture asset, inventory, and work-order data quickly at the point of activity. This upgrade is well suited to organizations that want to reduce accessory sprawl and keep mobile users working from a single device. It supports workflows in logistics, field service, public safety, warehousing, and maintenance where identity verification and barcode capture are part of the same task flow. By integrating both capabilities into the platform, the CB-V120-U48 helps simplify deployment standards and reduce reliance on external readers. For IT teams managing rugged fleets, this is a focused upgrade that adds measurable utility without changing the base system. It is built for environments where speed, control, and device consolidation justify the investment in a more capable input and identification module.
