VC5090 mobile computer extends real-time data capture to forklifts

Holtsville, NY June 19, 2006 Symbol Technologies Inc. has introduced the VC5090 vehicle/fixed-mount mobile computer, which combines rugged construction, processing and wireless networking to enable real-time data access and collection on forklifts used in harsh environments. Symbol said the computer is designed to help warehouse workers increase productivity and reduce errors in receiving, tracking, put-away, picking, scanning and shipping.

With industrial- and military-grade specifications for vibration, shock, temperature and sealing, the VC5090 vehicle/fixed-mount mobile computer can endure repetitive pounding from forklift operations and provide durability in subzero temperatures. The VC5090 mobile computer also offers a high-resolution touch screen that enables data input with gloved hands and can be read even in the most poorly lit environments.
