Disruptions in the supply chain can be costly for businesses, and in today’s business world it’s either you adapt or get left behind. One product that can help your business adapt and at the same time give you a significant competitive advantage is the Thor VM3 Vehicle-Mount Computer. The Thor VM3 comes with Smart Dock which delivers immediate impact savings on support and maintenance costs. The cost savings from the Smart Dock come as a result of all the maximized efficiency that allows users to undock the computer from one forklift and redock it on another vehicle in a matter of seconds. This helps the workers adapt as the workload changes throughout the day or week.  A field-replaceable front panel reduces your capital and maintenance cost by integrating two of the most wear and abuse prone components, the keyboard and the touchscreen, into a user-replaceable part all with the simple use of a screwdriver.

This Honeywell vehicle-mount computer has an IP66 rated design and was designed to withstand all the vibrations and shocks that is generally created when a forklift is in operation. Safety is also a big proponent of the Thor VM3 with a screen blanking option that restricts driver access to the screen when the vehicle is moving to comply with the highest safety standards. The rugged vehicle-mount computer was made to withstand multiple environments from dry goods to cold storage, indoors or outdoors, and in-premise or in intermodal facilities. The Thor VM3 comes with the Intel x86 architecture and Dual Core 1.5GHz processor that enable superior performance with data-intensive applications.

In a world constantly searching for opportunities to stay mobilized, we are increasingly seeing every industry equipping their work force with rugged smartphones and scanner sleds. This gives the user the ability to scan and track on the go in addition to processing credit card payments in the field. Rugged smartphones and sleds have been emerging into the marketplace to help companies stay more productive away from the desk and also decrease high capital equipment costs. While there are many options on the market today, this sector is expected to see a 2-3% growth in the next few years with many new hardware and software products emerging.

 

Key benefits of using a rugged smartphone for your business:

• A slimmer, thinner, and lighter form factor than traditional laptops and other peripherals which can easily fit in a pocket, purse, or bag.
• No need for an additional piece of equipment as this fits directly over your iPhone or Android
• Rugged sleds can increase durability of your device in harsh outdoor environments and also indoor facilities prone to dust and moisture.
• Stay connected in the field using cell service to transmit data quickly when away from the office

The new Honeywell: AutoCube 8200 takes a 3D picture of the package, captures the dimensions prior to shipping and populates those fields into the carrier’s application. This small digital camera has a compact design that can be mounted on a pole which can be placed onto existing scales. Its ability to take instant measurements in any orientations speeds up workflow to be able to ship more packages and reduce labor costs.

Benefits:

• Increase accuracy
• User productivity
• Reducing shipping charge backs
• Optimizing storage space, work flow, and planning

This fixed dimensioning system with its ability to quickly and effectively measure objects in any orientation makes it a great add-on for warehouses and shipping stations.

To upgrade firmware on a Honeywell 8670 Wireless Ring Scanner, the scanner must be connected to either of the below:

• Honeywell Access Point (HAP) – AP-010BT-07N /  AP-100BT-07N
• Honeywell Charge and Communication Base (CCB) – CCB01

Once connected, fire up EZConfig – a free Honeywell barcode scanner configuration utility.  The Honeywell 8670 will not be listed as a connected device in EZConfig but the base/access point will. If it’s connected to the CCB/Access Point the firmware will find its way to the scanner.

• Make sure the configuration is set to Bluetooth Serial Profile (PAPSPP).
• Select “Update Firmware”
• Select “Choose File” then pick your firmware file that you saved previously on your hard drive.  You can get the latest firmware files from the Honeywell website.
• Select “Update Device”

Easy!

The Granit 1980i (wired) and the 1981i (wireless) are area-imaging scanners capable of reading 1D and 2D barcodes from as close as 6 inches (15 cm) up to 50 feet away(15m).

Trigger Toggle mode is a newer feature that lets you quickly hit the trigger on your Honeywell Xenon 1900/1902 two or three times to temporarily put the scanner into either imaging mode, cell phone read mode, or centering mode. Here is where you’d use this feature.

Example 1:  If your application occasionally involves scanning digital barcodes.  Cell phone read mode can slow down your scanner a little when scanning non-digital barcodes. “Click, click” and you’ve temporarily turned on cell phone read mode to quickly read that digital barcode.

Example 2:  Or maybe you love the broad view of your Honeywell Xenon, but you have one barcode that you have to scan that’s bunched together with other barcodes that you don’t want to scan.  “Click, click” (activate centering mode) and you’ve temporarily narrowed your scanner’s field of view to hit that one barcode you need in the bunch.

Here is how it works.

1. Scan the barcode of the desired toggle mode:

2. Set the number of triggers required to activate the Trigger Toggle Mode:

If you’d prefer, you can then set the trigger timing (how fast you need to hit the trigger) if the default of 400ms doesn’t work for you.  See User’s Guide for Trigger Timing barcode and instructions. And you can set the Trigger Toggle Timeout (time period before reverting back to regular scan mode) if the default of five seconds doesn’t work for you.  See User’s Guide for details.

For assistance with setting this up, contact your Barcodes, Inc. Account Manager or reach out to our Professional Services Team.

The new Honeywell 8670 Wireless Ring Scanner was chosen by New Equipment Digest as a 2017 Innovation Award winner for its design and ability to help industrial workers perform their task more efficiently.  Last year there were about 2,000 new products considered; 24 finalists; and 11 winners.  It’s a great honor!  Make sure you contact one of our Barcodes, Inc. experts to learn more about the Honeywell 8670.

Benefits of the 8670 Wireless Ring Scanner include:

• Aggressive 2D Scanning
• Ergonomic Design – Ergonomic two-piece design with a low profile and a light weight scanner piece
• Soft finger and wrist straps improve comfort and eliminate hygiene concerns
• Rugged Design
• Bluetooth technology provides freedom of movement up to 10m from the host. Pairs with PCs, laptops and mobile devices running Apple, Android or Windows OS

Wireless scanners have become commonplace in many retail environments for the convenience they provide by removing a cable from the picture. All cordless scanners have a battery in them that is often the main point of wear on the device and requires several hours to fully charge on many models.  It may seem that the battery is an unavoidable consequence of being wireless but Honeywell is leading the way towards a more environmentally friendly scanner that also requires less maintenance long term.

Shedding the traditional battery pack, Honeywell has introduced their Super-Capacitor technology on their Xenon 1902g-bf and Voyager 1202g-bf scanners. Super-Capacitors are capable of achieving a full charge in less than two minutes via the standard USB port or under 30 seconds when using a powered USB port or external wall adapter. After a quick charge the Voyager 1200g-bf can scan at least 100 codes while the Xenon 1902g-bf can read at least 450 codes.

This sort of quick and easy charging feature makes these scanners ideal for applications centered around POS, workstations and counters – for example, as the secondary scanner to a bioptic (in-counter) scanner, or in support of shipping and receiving functions at warehouses. With no battery, a common maintenance hassle is removed and the scanner is lighter and more environmentally friendly.

Both scanners are built on the proven Voyager and Xenon platform offering superior scanning performance on linear and 2D barcodes respectively. With multiple-interface options, these scanners are plug-in-player ready to start inputting scanned data into any application.
