The Smart Dock feature delivers immediate savings on support and maintenance costs while maximizing efficiency, enabling users to quickly shift computers as vehicles fail or workloads change. The field-replaceable front panel allows enterprises to minimize investments in spare parts by substituting low-cost spare front panels for spare computers and saves valuable time and maintenance costs by leveraging in-house staff to service touchscreen or keyboard failures.
Features and Benefits
The Smart Dock feature enables mounting and removal in seconds without affecting the cabling, saving on support and maintenance costs while minimizing capital expenses.
The field-replaceable front panel reduces maintenance costs by enabling on-site unskilled personnel to service the most wear- and abuse-prone components rather than returning them to the repair depot.
Security update availability is just as important as computer durability for maximizing a computer’s useful life. Mobility Edge products provide five more years of security updates than a typical Android device.
No need to choose between optimizing productivity and minimizing IT support costs: All Honeywell Mobility Edge computers share a common hardware and software platform. From an IT perspective, they are all the same product.
The Mobility Edge hardware platform and enterprise lifecycle tools drive an integrated, repeatable, scalable approach for accelerated and secure development, deployment, performance and lifecycle management.
