The village of Forrest Hill has less than 500 citizens, yet is home to more than 60 commercial nurseries, most of which are large, wholesale/retail operations representing the culmination of multi-generation family endeavors. The typical Forrest Hill nursery encompasses business functions ranging from production to warehousing to direct wholesale and retail sales to multi-state wholesale…
When the subject is industrial-grade single-board computers, most of us think of complete computer systems arranged on single circuit boards, but we also tend to think of processors offering only modest reliable performance. Because single-board computers are most often destined for embedded applications to control discrete functions within larger systems, the processors that serve as…
Honeywell Scanning & Mobility’s white-paper library is a resource I refer to regularly in my effort to stay abreast of the rapidly evolving mobile computing and scanning industry. With so much data and frivolous opinion populating the Internet, it’s reassuring to know that Honeywell’s findings are based on proven data evaluated by industry leading experts….
In a recent blog post inspired by Zebra Technologies’ white paper, Wireless Printing Delivers Efficiency and Cost Savings in Retail, I recalled the bad-old days when the mobility of every electrical appliance was limited by the length of its heavy power cord. As for wireless communications, those were all one-way exchanges consisting of transmissions rated…
Described most simply, the internal computer bus serves to transfer data between the computer’s CPU and its peripheral components, such as its hard-drive, memory, sound and video systems. Consequently, usable PC performance is limited by bus capacity. Unfortunately, bus capacity has during various eras of PC development lagged behind advancements in the performance of CPUs…

There have been a number of sea-change technological breakthroughs within the lifetimes of those of us who’ve been around since the 50s and earlier, and more than a few of them have to do with cutting the…
This is the third post inspired by Advantech’s white paper, Industrial Bus & Network Standards. The previous two entries explored the dynamics which favor standardization in general, some obvious and some not, and then the Ethernet standard specifically. This installment will delve into the paper’s revelation of just where the greatest cost of implementation of…
The main objective of ‘going green’ is that it’s good for the environment, but when it comes down to it; businesses generally have their focus on creating greater efficiencies throughout the organization. Paperless environments are important to all facets of the business, but one area that would benefit greatly is the warehouse. Consider the following…
Among the daily pleasures of my job is constant exposure to the delightfully unexpected. As a case in point, I did not awaken today with the expectation of learning the finer points of event organization and security from the sport of dragon-boat racing. And yet, yep, dragon-boat racing. The Chinese fascination with dragons predates recorded…
