LXE, a division of EMS Technologies, announced today the launch
of the Tecton™ rugged handheld computer, targeting supply chain
applications. The successor to LXE’s highly successful MX7
handheld, the IP-65 rated Tecton handheld computer accelerates
real-time data capture with an industry-leading PXA 320 806 MHz
processor running Windows® Mobile 6.5 or Windows® CE 6.0.
“There are some so-called warehouse handhelds that were not
specifically designed for warehouse applications, and others that
compromise in terms of ergonomics or processing power,” said Steve
Newell, LXE vice president and general manager. “The Tecton is the
first device in the category to address all the challenges of
maximizing supply chain productivity – it’s purpose-built for the
warehouse.”
Lightweight and extremely well-balanced in the user’s hand, and
with sleek design for an industrial tool, the Tecton handheld
delivers its enhanced performance across a wide array of supply
chain tasks. The unit’s multi-range scanning capabilities enable
bar code reads from four inches to 40 feet, so operators can
perform warehouse moves ranging from receiving to full pallet
put-aways with the same version of the computer. Scan-intensive
picking can be enabled with the Tecton computer’s available
easy-grip removable handle with two-finger trigger, and every
Tecton computer comes with LXE’s ToughTalk technology for
voice-driven processes. The device also features a scan vibration
signal that can be used to verify successful scans in loud
warehouses, and multiple built-in data-entry options.
Performance and versatility come with field-proven ruggedness
and customizations for the most demanding environments. Keypads
protect against airborne and spilled chemical agents, and
electrical components are secured to circuit boards to better
withstand drops and shocks. An available cold-storage configuration
includes programmable touchscreen and scan window defrosters, and a
cold-tolerant backup power source that holds a charge longer in
environments as low as -30˚C.
The Tecton handheld computer makes its public debut Tuesday, 8
February, in Hall 5, Booth 641 at the LogiMat supply chain trade
show in Stuttgart, Germany. LXE begins shipments of the Tecton
handheld computer and Tecton CS cold storage configuration on 14
March 2011.
“The Tecton handheld performs well in so many tasks because it’s
light enough for scan-intensive picking, yet able to take a
beating,” said Newell. “We purpose-built this computer for the
supply chain with the right combination of ergonomics, ruggedness,
and computing power.”
