DB Lookup Application
The DB Lookup application enables the user to download a database to the KDC that may then be
utilized for advanced AUTO-ID applications, such as displaying additional data after scanning a
barcode. For example, using our DB Lookup application, you may download a product database
including information such as description, price, and stock quantity. With the advanced data
functionality built-in to the KDC, you may easily display product price, description, and stock level
after the product’s barcode is scanned.
