EVERETT, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
Intermec (NYSE:IN) introduces the PW50, a rugged workboard printer
that provides a convenient, integrated solution to simplify operations
for workers in Direct Store Delivery (DSD), Home Delivery, and Field
Service applications. It is designed specifically for use with the
innovative Intermec CN3, CN3e and CK61 handheld computers.
To maximize productivity, delivery and field service workers
require tools that provide comprehensive capabilities in a form that
is simple to use, and easy to carry. When used in conjunction with a
CN3 series handheld computer, the PW50 meets these requirements by
providing a single convenient bundle that can easily be transported or
installed in a vehicle. Custom holders safely secure the handheld
computer in the printer, while allowing for easy removal for scanning
or data entry. Additionally, hand straps and shoulder straps are
available to simplify the moving of equipment between the truck and
the point of delivery.
Optimized for the high-volume transaction environments of DSD, the
Intermec PW50 printer's on-board capabilities make transaction
processing fast and simple. Integrated DEX communications allows for
easy connectivity to in-store computer systems. In addition, secure
Bluetooth connectivity provides a safe transactional environment, and
fast print speeds and optional integrated smart card and magnetic
stripe readers for point-of-sale transactions make for quick,
efficient transaction processing.
"Intermec always seems to be a step ahead of the competition, and
this is definitely the case with the Intermec PW50," said Rich
Pacella, president, Velocitor Solutions. "By providing an easy to
carry integrated computer and printer solution, businesses will
quickly realize their return on investment."
The rugged design of the PW50 incorporates a patented power
management system that maximizes battery life. Its dual-charging
capability keeps both computer and printer batteries charged via a
single electrical connection through the vehicle mount or a 12-volt
adapter. Like the CN3 series handhelds it complements, the PW50 easily
withstands the bumps and drops that are common to fast-paced mobile
use, resulting in lower TCO and less down time.
The PW50 is currently shipping worldwide.
