Vehicle Mounted Computer in Public Safety Sector (Police, EMS, Fire Dept)

Imagine a police car or a firetruck without a vehicle mounted computer!  How effective would a policeman or a fireman be without the information required for they day to day operation?  Inquiries about a license tag, location of an incident, and filing various on the road all require a mobile data terminal terminal within their transportation vehicle (police car, ambulance or firetruck).

Vehicle Mounted Computer in FiretruckPublic safety sector is exposed to various environments such as continuous pounding and shocks from the road and off-road, weather conditions such as extreme heat, bitter cold and pounding rain and also the chemical pollutants from incident scenes.  These conditions require that the vehicle mounted computer be industrial rated. The Percon rugged industrial computer meets all the specifications of the public service mobile data collection sector.

RFID Data Collection with Industrial Mobile Data Terminal

RFID data collection in expansive storage areas mandates mobility and industrial mobile data terminals with RFID readers. Imagine the acreages of stored containers in a shipyard.  How does the shipyard manager maintain accountability of all receipts RFID datacollection in shipyard with mobile data terminalsand shipments?  Barcodes are sometimes used but are fairly ineffective in reading at such long distance and require large labels for accuracy.  Size of container and distance makes scanning very challenging and somewhat difficult.  The ideal solution is using RFID long range tags to identify the container with its unique identification number (license tag).  The shipper can also use this ID number to their ASN.  This ties all the goods and its quantities within the container to receipts of all goods that can be accounted with just one read of the RFID tag.

This RFID data collection can be performed at a time when a mobile vehicle,  such as a crane, unloads containers, reads information with an industrial mobile computer and places the containers on trucks or temporary locations.   This process records container ID and location for total shipyard inventory control.

This RFID application is provided by select Solution Partners from Percon.
