Warm garments are essential for warehouse workers to perform daily operations in the cold, the same goes for mobile computers. Mobile computers must be built to perform under these demanding condition.

Moving a standard mobile computer in and out between normal and cold areas is extremely hard on the device even if it’s ruggedized. Short term: the LCD screen fogs up, batteries won’t release enough energy and processors may not perform optimally. Long term: Screens and housing will become brittle and repeated condensation can cause internal components to corrode, short-circuit, and fail.

If you work in an environment that is typically exposed to cold temperatures, consider the devices below:

Motorola‘s Omnii XT15f Mobile Computer

• Lorax Scanner
• 1/2D options
• 11 a/b/g
• Bluetooth
• Windows CE 6.0
• Condensation Resistant Chiller Model is built for -4º F / -20º C
• Condensation Free Arctic Model is built for -22º F / -30º C
• Screen defroster option

Honeywell’s CK75 Cold Storage Mobile Computer

• Cold storage
• Windows or Android OS option
• Standard or extended range scanner
• 11 a/b/g/n
• 2D scanner (scans both 1D and 2D)
• Standard Unit is built for -4º F / -20º C
• Cold Storage Unit is built for -22º F / -30º C

Thriving in cold conditions requires the ability to adapt to the environment. Being prepared with the right resources and equipment can lower operating costs by increasing productivity and decrease equipment down time.

With the windows embedded operating systems’ support coming to an end soon, now is a great time to plan for the future. It’s important to look into an alternate operating system. Arguably the most flexible and capable OS solution for future devices would be Android. Here are Honeywell‘s latest mobile computer additions, the ScanPal EDA50, CN75, and the CK75 all with an android operating system.  Take a look at the devices below with their features to see how they can optimize productivity in your facility.

Honeywell’s new ultra-rugged mobile computer is built from premium, industrial materials giving it a balance of ruggedness and duty cycle. The CK75 is a perfect fit for any warehouse or distribution environment with features that focus on enabling flexibility and agility. With workload demands always shifting unexpectedly the CK75 gives workers the flexibility to quickly transition to tasks that require near or far scanning, speech, voice, and image capture; this saves valuable time from workers having to find and reorient themselves on unfamiliar devices.

CK75 Features:

• Supports Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 and Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating systems for flexible application support and migration.
• Withstands 2.4 m (8 ft) drops to concrete, 2,000 1 m (3.3 ft) tumbles and has an IP67 seal rating against water and dust.
• Industry’s fastest and farthest imaging engine delivers superior motion tolerance and barcode read performance.
• Optional Cold Storage version includes touch screen and scan window heaters to support use for extended periods in freezers as well as transitions into and out of freezer areas

Honeywell’s new CK75 is an ultra-rugged, lightweight device, is optimized for demanding warehouse, distribution center and manufacturing environments. When workload demands shift unexpectedly, the CK75 mobile computer gives workers the flexibility to quickly transition to tasks that require near or far scanning, speech, voice and image capture, without wasting time finding and reorienting themselves on unfamiliar devices.

Because the CK75 mobile computer supports Honeywell wired or wireless headsets and voice software, customers have the option of traditional or voice-enabled workflows. With a dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN radio, the CK75 mobile computer delivers rock-solid performance and consistently fast response times, even in areas where you might experience low signal levels or intermittent connections.
