MX7 designed to be at home anywhere in the warehouse or distribution center with multi-range scanning capabilities, enabler says
Atlanta — September 26, 2005 — LXE, a manufacturer of rugged wireless computers, has taken the wraps off a new wireless handheld computer designed to be at home anywhere in the warehouse or distribution center.
The compact, ruggedized MX7 has an "easy-grip handle" with a two-finger trigger and molded rubber grip that makes it ideal for picking applications, but LXE said that the new solution is not just a picking terminal.
"The unit's multi-range scanning capabilities enable bar code reads from four inches to 40 feet, so operators can perform warehouse moves ranging from receiving to full pallet put-aways with the same version of the computer," the solution provider said. "No matter what the scanning distance, the operator will always have the correct tool in hand."
For noisy warehouses, the MX7 includes a Good Scan bar code vibrator inside the unit that can be used to verify successful scans.
The MX7 runs the latest Windows CE 5.0 operating system using an Intel XScale PXA255 processor. LXE offers the new tool with 802.11b/g radio and Bluetooth options.
"If you are looking for a compact, durable terminal that can do more than just picking," said Doug Brown, director of product management for LXE, "you'll be hard-pressed to find a better value than the MX7. It's light enough for piece picking yet tough enough to take whatever comes its way."
The MX7 also includes LXE's ToughTalk technology, which is LXE's specialized combination of LXE's ruggedized system design, advanced audio circuitry and noise canceling techniques that enable the MX7 to support industrial-grade voice recognition applications. "With the MX7, customers can run both their voice logistics applications and their traditional barcode scanning applications on the same unit," LXE said.
Finally, with the MX7's mappable keyboard, customers can customize any key on the MX7 to deliver custom data to their application, according to the solution provider.
