Next generation of rugged mobile computers

With the launch of the CK3 Next Generation Series of rugged mobile computers, Intermec claims to offer one of the industry's highest performing mobile computing options to date. For use in distribution centre, manufacturing and retail operations, the CK3 Next Generation Series is comprised of two models - the CK3X and CK3R - which utilise a 1GHZ OMAP architecture to optimise workforce performance through industryleading battery life, enhanced barcode scanning, superior device health monitoring and broad compliance for emerging industry standards such as HTML5.

The CK3X is optimised for warehouse operations and is said to be the perfect migration option from the current CK3B, while the CK3R is optimised for light industrial and retail front of store applications.

Maintaining the current CK3B form factor and rugged design, legacy applications and backwardscompatible accessories allows customers to seamlessly migrate to the latest technology without an additional investment in chargers, docking stations or scan handles.

"The CK3X and CK3R expand upon the popular CK3B for continued best-in-class operations to support customer needs for increased productivity, flexibility and exceptional workforce performance," said Earl Thompson, Intermec senior vice president, Mobile Solutions Business Unit. "Designed specifically with the future in mind, the CK3 Next Generation Series is an exceptional choice for customers who need to support ever-changing data capture requirements and future-proof their supply chain, DCs and in-store retail operations."
