When it comes to scanning performance, it takes an industry leader to be able to design a device that is strong enough for a warehouse environment, but made for one that may be…well…more discrete. First of all, let me say that the Honeywell Vuquest® 3310g is just adorable. I mean it. Its compact size makes…
The L-Tron team recently received a blog comment from Eef de Ferrante, Director of the Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association (aipia.info), reminding us that item-level tracking systems are often best coordinated at the production end of the supply chain. Said Eef: “Let’s not forget that barcodes, tags, labels, and indicators are initially a subject…
Among the new products announced by Advantech in recent weeks is its FPM-7211W flat-panel monitor, a 21-inch widescreen multi-touch display that features a 16:9 aspect ratio and full 1920×1080 HD resolution. Advantech describes the front profile of the FPM-7211W as “truly-flat,” meaning that the transition from the integrated bezel is pleasantly seamless. I have an…
If we tallied up the types of questions we get on a daily basis from contacts in a number of markets like healthcare, retail, manufacturing, field service, the public sector and a variety of other businesses, on average I’d say this one is in the top 5. If you’re reading this blog today, I’m guessing…
When you’re the largest retailer on the planet, you have the power to direct positive change that benefits entire industries. Such was the case in 2003 when Wal-Mart announced what would eventually become known simply as “the mandate,” a requirement that, by 2006, its major suppliers equip all cases or pallets of products with smart…
Although I reported earlier in these blogs on Advantech’s new EKI-3000 series of Smart Industrial Ethernet Switches, I see in hindsight that I shared much too little. Sure, I highlighted some key specifications and features of the EKI-3728, but still failed to address some basic questions. Why do we need “Smart Industrial Ethernet Switches”? Because…
Earlier this year Honeywell launched a new industrial-grade hand-held scanner called the Granit 191Xi and it’s their best industrial, hand-held area imager yet. We realize there are some strong contenders in this space, but this device has exceeded customer expectations in terms of durability and aggressive scanning ability. Designed specifically for harsh environments, they definitely…
24/7 manufacturing applications pose special challenges for the printing of mission-critical labels. These environments require flawless, on-demand print execution to ensure the continuous flow of production lines, and it is in these extreme, high-volume environments that Zebra’s Xi4 printers excel. When it comes to extreme, 24/7 applications, I can think of none more challenging than…
ometimes projects come along that cause us to rethink everything. For me, this happened most recently when asked to consult on a model automation system for astronomical observatories. Once I’d gotten over the novelty of that peculiar application and learned more of its details, I realized it had more in common with our more typical…
In our last CYOD blog I wrote about the business landscape and how it has changed over the last decade. As technology has evolved, we’ve managed to find more and more ways to make our work easier to manage, more accurate, and overall more efficient. Today I wanted to share with you some information we’ve…
