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 and shipments?  Barcodes are sometimes used but are fairly ineffective in reading at such long distance and require large [...]

Rugged Industrial Computers For All Seasons

Rugged industrial computers are designed to provide data collection in all kinds of weather and environments.  When you think of the outdoor seasons and its weather, you’d come up with rain, snow, sleet, heat and bitter cold.  Fixed or vehicle computers are required to take all that punishment.  let’s look into each one; Rain, snow [...]
