Handheld Terminals

Rugged mobile computers combining a scanner, keypad and screen for stock-taking, picking, put-away and field service. Unlike a plain barcode scanner, these run applications on-device and talk to WMS or ERP over Wi-Fi or cellular without middleware. Battery endurance across a full shift and drop rating are the specifications that decide whether a unit survives warehouse use. Android is the common platform; check screen size, keypad layout and whether the scan engine handles 1D only or 2D as well.
