    Hi, I have seen asset management systems using motorolla other brands barcode readers. If I am going to develop own system, do you think I can use regular smartphone devices as it all has sensor for barcode reader or it's more professional to have a dedicated barcode readers? what's your advise? Thanks, Jassim

      You should research the devices available on the market in your locality, to see which one would meet your requirements.

        It is more professional to be able to say "we support X because.."; either choice could be defended, or better, deferred. A dedicated barcode scanner is usually a simple device where one does not have to muck with settings to get it to work. You turn it on and start scanning. A phone OTOH might require a specific setup, but may also prove to be more flexible. The ideal way would be to create a generic interface, and build a library for both. That way the user/person buying your software could decide for themselves which of both options would work best for their environment. There might also be companies that already have the hardware, and are merely looking to replace their software.
