Last year the company also introduced Windows 10 S… a version of the operating system that takes a less-is-more approach by restricting users from running applications downloaded from sources other than the Microsoft Store. The idea is to offer better performance, improved security, and automatic updates… much like Google’s Chrome OS. It’s not surprising that Windows 10 S was originally targeted at the education market, which is currently dominated by Chromebooks.

Other features include a 52 Whr battery, 802.11ac WiFi, and Qualcomm’s X16 Gigabit LTE modem. You’ll need to supply a SIM card to connect to LTE networks, and you may end up paying extra for data, depending on your wireless plan, (although Sprint, at least, is offering Windows 10 on ARM users some free data through the end of the year, and some carriers, like Project Fi, offer data-only SIM cards that tap into your existing plan for no additional fee… other than charges for any additional data you may use).

A report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that the amount of money spent on augmented and virtual reality will double every year until it totals almost $215 billion globally in 2021. Based on the value AR brings to the supply chain, this number is not hard to imagine. As the technology evolves and becomes more widely adopted, there will also most likely be new applications for the technology that increase supply chain efficiency to an even greater degree.

Battery life from the Atom is about average thanks to its small screen and our benchmarks on that front lined up very well with real-world usage. That means that under constant use, it shouldn’t be difficult to get at least 5 to 6 hours of screen-on time between charges. Charging itself takes around 1.5 hours to accomplish. Now, it’s worth noting that our benchmark and use was under sub-optimal conditions since we left the screen brightness turned all the way up and all power-saving turned off. The benchmark also kept the internal hardware pegged at over 70-percent capacity for nearly the entire test. So anybody should be able to squeeze more out of this handset just by adjusting the settings. On standby, the Unihertz Atom lasted us between 2 to 4 days with intermittent use.. The benchmark for performance, on the other hand, was much less impressive but not surprising. The single-core score fell in at just 779 and the multi-core score at just 3687 via GeekBench’s measurements. That score wouldn’t be expected to allow the latest and greatest smartphone games or most intensive apps to run smoothly at all.

Dan joined Postal and Parcel Technology International in 2014 having spent the early years of his career in the recruitment industry. As assistant editor, he now produces daily content for the website and supports the editors with the publication of each exciting new issue. When he’s not reporting on the latest logistics news, Dan can be found apprehensively planning his next DIY project for his new home.

I bought myself a Palm Tungsten T a couple years after release, only to have it become obsolete quickly when smartphones hit the scene.

The Palm looks useful enough: It get calls and texts, it has front- and rear-facing cameras, and it runs apps like Spotify via the Google Play store. It’s small enough to easily toss in your purse for a night out or in your gym bag for a quick workout. Palm wants you to think of it as the Mazda Miata you take out for weekend drives rather than the Ford Escape that gets you to and from work every day. “Palm isn’t a replacement for your primary smartphone, it’s a fully connected companion that is in-sync with your primary device, making mobile truly mobile again,” reads Palm’s website. (It’s also pitching the Palm as a way to help people “get out of their tech and into their lives,” but the solution to tech overload is rarely more tech — it’s better mastery of your settings and an occasional willingness to silence and ignore your phone.)

In the past, the only interface between the physical world and the enterprise resource planning (ERP) or warehouse management system (WMS) of record has been through someone keying in data, scanning it, or maybe a materials handling system that scans, Wheeler explains. “We’re now moving toward technologies that sense the physical world directly and use analytics to make useful information out of data. It’s a real fundamental change,” he says.

The new UPSNav navigation tool is part of that effort alongside the recent deployment of the first phase of UPS’s Network Planning Tools (NPT), which use advanced analytics to help the company direct package volume more efficiently across its network and to make the best use of capacity at sorting facilities.

Recognizing barcodes from images is simple: all you need to do is click on BarcodeLabelsScanner.exe to launch the app, choose your barcode type in your scanning image, then click on the button “Load Barocd Image” to open your reading image. The software will scan the image, and display the barcode value in the bottom text box.

The barcode scanning case is positioned as a purely retail solution from HP, and I can see it being a useful addition to both the front and back of a store. While it’s not likely to replace dedicated cash registers anytime soon, it could be invaluable for the sort of roving retail employees that help customers while they’re shopping.
