The Answer to the Industry’s Need for No Compromise Rugged Mobile Computing in Asi
a has been delivered by market leader
Singapore, January 12, 2010 -- Intermec, Inc. (NYSE: IN) today announced the lau
nch of the 70 Series across Asia, its next generation portfolio of ultra-rugged
mobile computers, delivering unparalleled performance to maximize worker uptime
and efficiency. Comprised of four products over one platform, the 70 Series near
ly doubles Intermec’s mobile computer portfolio in one release.
With 45 years of technology innovation as its foundation, the Intermec 70 Series
comprises four distinct products sharing a common platform and capabilities – CN7
0 (field service, transportation and logistics), CN70e (direct store delivery/ro
ute accounting), CK70 (parcel delivery in courier, express and postal operations
) and CK71 (manufacturing and warehousing). All in the smallest and lightest for
m factors in their respective classes, each product is built to help businesses
optimize resources to improve operational efficiency, support future growth, and
deliver high customer satisfaction.
“Economic pressures are continually impacting technology buying cycles as business
es are looking for not only ruggedness, but reliability and a total mobile solut
ion that enables them to not have to detract away from core competencies,” said Da
vid Krebs, VDC Research Analyst. “This next year will continue to see technology i
nnovations better empower mobile workers with intelligence to improve operations
and lower bottom lines. The Intermec 70 Series addresses many of these critical
next generation mobility requirements.”
Featuring Windows Embedded Handheld, the 70 Series is the only platform to deliv
er the following feature benefits:
The most advanced 1D/2D scan engines, including:
The new EA30 2D scan engine, with breakthrough motion tolerance performance and
an advanced aiming system – delivering increased productivity and ease of use for
scan intensive applications
The new, 3rd generation EX25 near-far scan engine - increasing the distance and
velocity of data capture
The industry’s first 802.11n dual-band WLAN – enabling better connectivity and commu
nication for mobile workers
Six-foot drop spec across all temperatures, IP67 sealing, Gorilla glass touch pa
nel, and indestructible keypad technology – delivering best in class ruggedness an
d reliability
On-board diagnostics and device health monitoring – improving service uptime and s
erviceability of large fleets of devices
“As we look to expand our manufacturing and distribution capacity in the coming ye
ar, we will rely heavily on new technology to enhance our WMS and improve our ov
erall operations,” said Vince Campanelli, Vice President at Parmalat, a global com
pany and major producer of milk and dairy products, fruit juices, cultured produ
cts, cheese products and table spreads. “The use of the CK71s on both the manufact
uring and distribution floors will help streamline all aspects of our business,
from shipping and receiving to inventory, picking and more.”
The 70 Series conquers daily operational challenges and streamlines productivity
with its unique ability to offer one software build and one set of peripherals
including the FlexDock Flexible Docking System. The new scalable, modular dockin
g system is equipped for all four form factors, saving space and reducing instal
lation costs, while enabling businesses to future proof their investment by only
having to change docking cups with technology refreshes instead of purchasing n
ew docking systems.
