Which industries does Percon plan to concentrate in? Where does our vehicle mount computer product(s) fit?

Our initial target and plan is ‘stick” with what we know best; supply chain logistics in manufacturing and wholesale trade. We are also planning on penetrating transportation, oil production, and public safety. In reality, the need of our partners and the clients’ demand will dictate the direction of our product. But our marketing focus will be within the industries mentioned.

Why build another Vehicle Mount Computer?

Why build another vehicle mount computer (VMT)? Motorola, LXE, Psion, AML are already a big player. You’ll have too much competition!

That’s a good question that most of our prospects, integrators and resellers are asking us. The answer is two-fold:

Today’s big players do provide vehicle mounted computers but they are a “step-child” to their product line. The vehicle computer projects do not get the get the funding and resources that the PDTs projects do. The result is that the industrial vehicle computers (VMTs) are generally behind in technology (few and slow upgrades) or the VMT offering is an OEM. There is just a three US manufacturers that produce VMTs as their primary product and the majority of their sale is direct.
We did our homework when we did the marketing research in the viability of starting a Vehicle Mounted Computer manufacturing company. Venture Development Corporation (VDC) also supplied us with solid industry financial and competitive data. The Reader’s Digest version is: VMTs’ are a $250 Million market with a CAGR of 7%. That offers Percon a great opportunity. We are not looking to be a multi billion dollars conglomerate. We’ll be VERY happy with 5% of the market and we plan to get there one rugged computer at a time!

Our vehicle mount computer products can be reviewed on our website.

Percon is part of Datalogic? Isn’t?

Vehicle Mount Computer — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:30:21 +0000

Percon is a separate manufacturing/engineering company and we are not related to Datalogic.

PSC purchased Percon in 2000? And the Percon products and employees were merged into PSC. Percon ceased to exist. Datalogic purchased PSC couple years ago and now operate as Datalogic Scanning and Datalogic Mobile.

However, Percon has a great history in AIDC. It is a name associated with quality products and excellent service. We are committed to continuing that tradition.

Another thing we all have in common is that we’re from Eugene Oregon!

How Do You Remember the Old Percon?

Vehicle Mount Computer — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:26:39 +0000

To some of us the Percon name has fond memories associated with it. This is how I remember Percon. Two years on the road all over the United States, Canada, Mexico and 3 times around the world. It was safe to visit the Honduras because there were plenty of soldiers around with guns to keep me safe. I did get to visit Beijing! Now I can say it was “nice.” I was teaching IntelliTrack software and wireless networking to partners and offices all over the world. My favorite was the Percon Europe trips.

I have a few events to jog your memories. Does anybody remember Andy wearing a dress at the Falcon launch in a bowling alley ? Do you remember what the real live falcon did when it got agitated? Who is the person that insisted “rooral people” voted Republican?

I bet some of you know the answers and have a few stories to add about Percon. Share it with all of us. Just add your comments below.

Percon Phoenix 104E passes IP X4 testing

Percon Phoenix 104E passes IP X4 testing on YouTube.

Deep in our underground laboratory (yes… it is underground! Ask me more about it.), the Phoenix vehicle mount computer is being taken for a bath. Actually, it is the IP54 testing for water splashing against the enclosure from any direction that will have no harmful effect.. The 4 in x4 represents the splashing water test indicator.

Check out the post Understanding NEMA and IP Ratings to appreciate our Phoenix 104e mobile data terminal and forklift computer demonstration video.
