One-stop shopping for supply chain success

Here are some of the products that will be on display this month at the Distribution/Computer Expo at Chicago

Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 5/1/2002

Rugged handheld computer

The 2435 handheld computer makes part numbers easy to read by eliminating the need to wrap text to the next line, providing more space for larger, easy-to-view fonts on its high-contrast, 31-character display. Its 160 by 128 pixel screen displays 50 percent more characters than typical units. Large keypad buttons make it easier for gloved workers to accurately enter information. It is well suited for harsh environments with its large, scratch-resistant display, IP54 sealed case, internal antenna and a rugged polymer case. Additionally, industrial-level confirming audio allows users to hear the unit over the noise typically found in warehouses.
