Handheld Terminal
TheTrakker® Antares™ T2420 is a full-featured terminal suited to inventory control, asset management, item tracking, maintenance management and other off-line data collection applications. Built to last, it will survive the repeated drops and rough environmental conditions found in manufacturing, distribution and health care and other demanding uses.
Applications can be developed using industry standard language tools; no proprietary languages to learn and support. The task is even quicker with EZBuilder™, a rapid application development and prototyping tool that requires no programming language expertise at all. Fast data communications to a PC or modem are supported either through a portable serial adapter or a unobtrusive desktop communications dock.
With its lithium ion main batteries - normally found in more expensive computers and laptop PCs - data can be collected for a normal shift or longer without a battery change. Recharge them gradually while the terminal is in the communications dock or quickly in a convenient multi-pack charger. Data will be saved for days in the event the main battery is temporarily or accidentally removed.
Standard memory and nonvolatile storage will satisfy most application requirements. For larger files or portable data bases, add 2 or 4MB memory expansion options. Transform the T2420 to a wireless terminal easily with an RF module. Integrated scanners are replaceable modules for easier maintenance.
