Does SAP Netweaver Mobile support integration with devices like Intermec?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a scenario where the customer is currently using SAP Console based approach for RF transaction related requirement. The device used is Intermec CK31 for barcode scanning and updating the data in the SAP backend. Some example scenarios are Goods Issue & Scrap. Since the SAP Console based approach does not support Offline mode, the customer is interested in evaluating the option of using SAP Netweaver Mobile for the solution.

Related to this requirement, we have the following queries.

1) Does SAP Netweaver Mobile support Intermec CK31 device without a product like Mobile Factory. What are the pros and cons in this approach of using SAP Netweaver Mobile only? If yes, are there any documentation how this can be accomplished?

2) Are there simulators for Intermec scanning devices like Intermec CK31 to be used while application development?

3) Can Mobile Factory be used for implementing this requirement? Can it support offline scenarios without SAP Netweaver Mobile? Does Mobile Factory provide Simulators for the devices such as Intermec CK31 for application development?

An early response would be greatly appreciated as we are in the process of evaluating a right approach for the customeru2019s requirement and the same needs to be provided soon.

Thanks in advance.

You should also evaluate the use of 3rd party bar coding to SAP solutions such as the one described here:

It may, or may not, meet the needs of this particular customer's requirements but 3rd party bar coding solutions should always at least be considered as possible alternatives to SAP Console or SAP NetWeaver Mobile.

Hi,

Refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals and devices supported in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
