I hadn’t intended to post so many notes on the subject, but the more I’ve considered the Peerless Research Group survey underlying Honeywell’s white paper, Are Smartphones and Tablets Suitable for Use in Warehouse and Distribution Center Operations?, the more I’ve found worth noting. For example, which is more likely to be deployed in warehouse…
In an earlier note on Honeywell Scanning & Mobility’s white paper, Are Smartphones and Tablets Suitable for Use in Warehouse and Distribution Center Operations?, I admitted my surprise at a survey conclusion that “user acceptance” (83%) was exceeded only by ruggedness/durability (90%) and uptime/minimal downtime (89%) in rank of concerns about deployment of consumer smartphones…
I posted a comment recently on a new white paper from Honeywell Scanning & Mobility entitled Are Smartphones and Tablets Suitable for Use in Warehouse and Distribution Center Operations? and encourage you to read the paper in full for yourself. The survey it discusses provides interesting insight into current thinking on the subject of industrial…
Not to give my age away, but the first PCs I recall installing in a commercial workplace were four IBM XTs with Intel’s 4.77 MHz 8088 processor, 256 kB of RAM, 5.25-inch floppies and 20-MB hard drives. Total price tag, including custom software: ~$24,000.00 in mid-80s dollars, or about $50,000.00 in 2011 dollars. Their proud…
I wrote recently about Zebra’s introduction of a newly enhanced version of its HC100 Wristband Printer line, but mentioned only in passing the unique cartridge-loaded Z-Band wristbands that the printers deliver. Z-Band wristbands are available in a number solution-specific of configurations, including antimicrobial-coated bands designed specifically for patient identification. Because those of us who are…
It isn’t everyday that I read about industrial-computing products in popular consumer-tech blogs, so I was thrilled when I stumbled across Engadget’s announcement of Honeywell’s new Dolphin 70e Black ruggedized smartphone. Although only announced by Honeywell as recently as October 23, 2012, this new creation has already been trumpeted by Engadget, the U.K.’s Phones Review,…
How do you improve class-leading label printers that are already efficient, user-friendly and durable? By significantly extending battery performance using two distinct strategies. First, Zebra’s industry-first (PSPT) manages energy output to the thermal print heads, allotting less energy to print plates that are already heated rather than wasting redundant power on those plates. PSPT is…
Zebra Technologies’ Legacy HC100 wristband printer set the standard for ease of use, while producing readable, long-lasting barcodes and text at print speeds of up to 2 inches (51 mm) per second. The newly enhanced HC100 printer doubles that maximum output to up to 4 inches (102 mm) per second, while retaining the accuracy, ease…
An acquaintance is designing a home-brew Segway-style single-wheel vehicle and needed to integrate a 3-axis gyro and an accelerometer. He could have designed custom circuitry for this application, but sometimes the optimum solution is also the easiest, which was the iPod touch he already had on hand. As he described this solution, I was reminded…
The more years I spend in the industrial arena, the more I’ve come to appreciate the resources provided by the companies that supply the services and equipment that are the lifeblood of this industry. Zebra Technologies offers numerous white-papers as an on-line resource for IT pros. Take for example, Zebra’s Benefiting From Bedside Specimen Labeling,…
