Bespoke solution for hand held terminals
June 1st 2009 Palletline, hub and spoke
delivery network for
palletised freight, has made a
major investment in mobile
computing hardware from
Belgravium.
Palletline wished to
appoint a partner to
facilitate effective and
efficient data capture, to
record pallet movements at
strategic points throughout
the distribution process.
Research into mobile
computers available in the
current marketplace drew a
conclusion that an 'ideal'
device that met all
parameters did not exist.
Belgravium were already in
dialogue with Palletline and
they suggested they would
meet the requirement via
'bespoke development'.
This entailed finding a
way of incorporating the
new-to-market EX25 near-far
imager into the Belgravium
Boston 8500 series terminal.
The Belgravium
development team worked
intensively and were able to
present Palletline with a fully
working prototype of the
Boston, with integrated EX
imager, within a two week
period! The ability to deliver
a customised hand held
terminal was a key
determinant in Palletline's
decision to place the order
for 250 devices with
Belgravium.
Belgravium's 'Remote
Terminal Administration'
(RTA) software facilitated the
effective management of the
Boston terminals including:
fault diagnosis by remote
technicians; event logging of
individual devices; remote
download of operating
system upgrades and
application software. More articles from Belgravium Ltd: |
