It is highly likely that you spend a significant amount of time trying to come up with ways in which you can boost worker productivity without taxing the worker or the company’s capital expenditures. Many organizations are now using wireless scanning devices, in partnership with a warehouse management system (WMS) to bring real‐time computing and…

Hooray for Mercedes-Benz – or more specifically, Benz manufacturer Daimler, the first car maker to implement the use of QR codes on vehicles to provide emergency workers with quick access to vehicle information at accident scenes. Even if you don’t know what a QR code is, I’m sure you’ve seen them around. QR codes are…
For applications that call for fanless embedded box industrial PCs, we most often consider systems deploying low power-consumption processors such as offered by Intel’s Atom series. A prime example is Advantech’s ARK-3403 that features the efficiency of either Intel’s D510 or D525 Atom processors. But delivery of the most highly-configurable embedded box PCs requires the…
