Honeywell Dolphin 6000 Scanphone Bridges the Gap Between Mobile Phones and Industrial Mobile computers
The compact, yet durable Honeywell Dolphin 6000 Scanphone automates the data collection process and delivers real-time access to business data, leading to improved productivity, more informed decision making and lower operating costs.
“We’ve seen an increase in the use of consumer-grade smartphones for enterprise applications as more functionality is added to mobile phones. However, these devices are not specifically designed for enterprise use and do not meet the barcode scanning needs of mobile information workers,” said Taylor Smith, director of product management, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. “The Dolphin 6000 fills this gap – delivering more reliability, more powerful scan performance and greater line of business application support than any smartphone on the market.”
In addition to its basic mobile phone functionality, the Dolphin 6000 offers advanced productivity features geared towards today’s vertical enterprise, including field service, field sales, and retail and logistics operations. An integrated barcode scanner provides fast and accurate bar code scanning, greatly simplifying data entry tasks, while Honeywell’s Remote MasterMind for Mobility device management software allows users to manage, update and remotely diagnose all Dolphin 6000 devices within a network from one centralized location, lowering development and maintenance costs.
Utilizing the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional operating system, the Dolphin 6000 was also designed for easy integration with enterprise-grade software applications.
“Although we recognize the functionality of smartphones, we do not believe they meet the hardware needs of our enterprise customers for use cases such as inventory tracking and receiving. As such, our application is designed to work more seamlessly on enterprise-grade devices such as the Dolphin 6000,” said David Gosman.
More rugged than a smartphone, the IP-rated Dolphin 6000 is resistant to moisture and particle intrusion, making it suitable for use in adverse conditions, such as those encountered by a field service or logistics worker. The device comes equipped with a long-lasting battery, allowing for uninterrupted productivity throughout an entire shift. The Dolphin 6000 also has an integrated megapixel camera and is optimized for voice communication, eliminating the need to carry a separate digital camera and mobile phone. Multiple wireless options, including GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, help users stay connected in a variety of environments.
