Global Handy Terminals that can be used in more than 40 overseas countries and regions

The new Handy Terminals utilize the latest code-reading algorithm that realizes high speed and great reading depth, with a large, 3.5 inch HVGA LCD screen that can display a great deal of information simultaneously, in anticipation of demand for the terminals in the device market, both domestic and overseas, for field operations such as distribution, logistics, maintenance and inspection. They are also designed in such a way that features introduced for one-hand operability are compatible with portability. The Handy Terminals will help our customers reduce the workload of their employees and make their consumer service operations more efficient, such as making possible inventory checks from the storefront and the issuing of sales slips in the field. The same applies to operations such as shipping and receiving of goods and warehousing in the field of logistics, as well as such field operations as maintenance and inspection activities.
Furthermore, the Handy Terminals are global devices that can be used in Japan, Europe, North America, Australia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other markets. DENSO WAVE plans to support terminal management software that allows remote monitoring of any Handy Terminal online with a telecommunication network globally, and simultaneous updating of software in order to eliminate possible problems resulting from the globalization of our customer’s businesses.

 

Large screen, one-hand operation capability, advanced reading performance, and installation of latest hardware architecture

The body of our new Terminal realizing one-hand operation has an further improved grip shape compared to DENSO WAVE’s well received previous models, for a more natural grip. By shortening the distance traveled by the fingers, the Handy Terminal can reduce the burden on the user. Its portability is enhanced through its smooth shape without protrusions or dents, so that it can easily be put into a pocket or its case. With a task that has to be carried out with a great deal of information displayed on the screen, users can hold the Handy Terminal firmly, stabilizing the overall balance of the Handy Terminal, and leading to enhanced operability. This can improve users’ productivity. In addition, the barcode reading speed is enhanced by more than 25% over previous models thanks to the newly implemented Advanced Scan Plus feature. Added to this is great-depth reading surpassing that of general laser scanners. These can also contribute to improving productivity by reducing the body movements that users have to make when reading codes.
A jacket structure, which provides sturdiness and resistance to environmental impacts, has been adopted for the frame of the Handy Terminal. Thanks to this feature, the Handy Terminal is ready for a wide range of operational temperatures from -20℃ to 50℃, an improvement over previous models, as well as durability against being dropped. Furthermore, the hardware architecture adopted is the latest and most full-featured available, with an 800 MHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM, 2 GB of flash memory and readiness for IEEE802.11n, the latest standard for wireless LAN, all in order to enhance operational comfort for our customers.

 

The BHT-1200 Series devices are slated for display at DENSO WAVE’s booth at the AUTO ID EXPO 2012, to be held this coming September from the 12th to 14th at Tokyo Big Sight.
