Are You Ready to Move to 4G and Android?

The end of 2G and 3G support is near, this will present an issue for current devices on cellular coverage. It is time to make your mobile devices enterprise ready for your mobile workers with Honeywell.

Migrating to LTE features:

• Better coverage
• Increased productivity, security, and efficiency
• Shorter Latency Times
• Modern devices to increase performance

How Honeywell Helps: 

Honeywell is strongly committed to cyber-security and the Android Lifecycle management. To aid enterprise customers restrict access through the use of a Mobile Device Management or on their Honeywell Enterprise Launcher app. Removing the user’s ability to install or run unauthorized apps makes the system far less vulnerable to security exploits caused by user actions. Additionally, to aid in the lifecycle management, they offer a program to provide patches for security vulnerabilities applicable to the supported operating system for 2+ years after Google security patch support ends to close the gap in support coverage.

Barcodes and Honeywell can help you get your systems ready to go and increase your efficiency and productivity in your daily operation. Contact us at 1-877-877-9613 or email at [email protected] to see how we can help you with the best solution in your workforce.

What is the ELD Mandate?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published the final electronic logging device rule — or ELD Mandate. An electronic logging device is used to electronically record a driver’s record of duty status, which replaces the paper logbook for drivers to record their hours of service (HOS) requirements.  Fleets that were equipped with electronic logging technology (AOBRDs) before Dec. 2017 have until Dec. 2019 to ensure compliance with the published specifications.

Benefits of an ELDs:

• Save driver time by reducing paperwork to ensure it is recorded properly
• Keep a dispatcher up to date on driver’s status
• Reduce a hassle of keeping a paper log
• Easy tracking driver’s HOS
• Ensure driving segments are recorded from truck’s engine
• Ease of data transfer from driver to fleet manager where one can see e-logs

Rugged Handhelds:

The FMCSA addressed that rugged handhelds and tablets can be used as long as the system meets the ELD requirements. With the overwhelming adoption of rugged handhelds, truck drivers find them easy to use and easy to track their hours of service while they are on the road.

What are some mobile device options?

While there are hundreds of devices to choose from, here are some of the newest technologies that are ideal for the on-the-go driver:

• Zebra TC56
• Honeywell CT50
• Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1
• Panasonic Toughpad FZ-N1
