Five Mobile Device Features to Consider for Better Direct-Store Delivery Success | Handheld Delivery Device

I’ll be getting the LTE version of the Surface Go too. Although, I’ll be keeping an eye on Windows on ARM. It’s definitely promising assuming MS and ARM vendors will continue improving it despite what I’m predicting to be lack luster sales of these initial ARM devices.

The Armor 3 comes either as entirely black or black with orange highlights, so you can always plump for the latter if you prefer a more sporty appearance for your phone.

Ulefone also mentions the MIL-STD 810G standard in promotional materials, as if it’s a real certification – which it isn’t. If it was a certification, it would support the claim that the Armor 3 can survive a 1.2m drop on to a hard surface, and given how robustly the phone is made, we have no reason to disbelieve that.

Driving both trends, Sellars says, is the operational intelligence that image-based scanning and 2D bar codes provide. With laser-based scanning of one-dimensional bar codes, the only data collected is whether a code was properly read or not. If the trigger sensor went off but didn’t read, maybe a label is missing or the laser was looking for chocolate when presented with vanilla, but Sellars says the binary pass/fail feedback doesn’t lend itself to a quick and effective diagnosis.

For businesses large and small, the potential for transformation extends well beyond the four walls. Bruce Stubbs, director of supply chain marketing at Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions, says holistic scanning and mobile computing solutions provide visibility across the DC, as well as upstream to manufacturers and downstream to customers.

“We see this as a workhorse, rugged smartphone that sits right in the middle of our line up at a mass market price point,” John Tudhope, Director Device Portfolio Strategy for Sprint, told Digital Trends. “We think it has great appeal for the small business and enterprise segments, as well as for consumers who want something rugged at an affordable price.”

Speaking of phones, this thing has the kind of hardware you’d expect from a phone, not a notebook. It sports a 6 inch, 2160 x 1080 pixel display, a MediaTek Helio X27 deca-core processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The Gemini PDA is a tiny computer that’s small enough to hold in one hand, but with a keyboard that makes it possible to touch-type… maybe.

Before delving into the uses of AR in the supply chain, it’s best to understand the different forms the tech can take.

Lurching west in stop-and-go traffic on I-80 that morning, bound for Berkeley and a day of delivering in the rain, I had a low moment, dwelling on how far I’d come down in the world. Then I snapped out of it. I haven’t come down in the world. What’s come down in the world is the business model that sustained Time Inc. for decades. I’m pretty much the same writer, the same guy. I haven’t gone anywhere. My feet are the same.

One of the most significant advantages of augmented reality in the supply chain is its use in training. New hires can often have a hard time finding their way through labyrinthian warehouses and locating products. AR can overlay lined paths to guide new hires exactly where they need to go. Boeing mechanics are known to use Google Glass while assembling airplane wiring so they have diagrams readily available without having to consult papers or mobile devices.

This probably isn’t a critical issue, but in the wake of the problems that Huawei is having in respect of compromised hardware, Chinese companies need to be squeaky clean for Western customers, and bundling a tool that Google rejects immediately as a security threat isn’t advisable.
