Portable Data Collection Terminal Solution Fast,
accurate, customizable real time Automatic Data Collection –this is
the need of today 's businesses striving for greater efficiency,
productivity and cost-effectiveness. The Falcon 325 by PSC is the
answer. Open standards, powerful applications and ease of use allow
these portable data collection terminals to integrate seamlessly
into the supply chain of companies involved in logistics,
manufacturing, retail, warehousing and distribution.
Rugged enough for the warehouse, but ergonomically designed for
ease of use, the Falcon 325 and 325 offer a 16-line screen,
486-class processor, 33 MHz operating speed, integrated scanning,
and a user-accessible PC Card slot. Their open architecture affords
easy application development. And the Falcon 325 is available with
PowerNet Twin Client to support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270
and 5250 terminal emulations, with screen formatter, allowing swift
and simple integration into your existing legacy system.
While the Falcon 325 provides ideal batch data collection
solutions, the Falcon 325 , a wireless data collection terminal, is
particularly ideal for data collection throughout the supply chain
where real-time access to data is required. Our 2.4 GHz spread
spectrum radio terminals have raised the bar in information
management data collection, allowing information to be transmitted
instantly, in real-time, without the use of wired connections.
With the international quality standards set by ISO 9000,
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Just In Time (JIT) and
Total Quality Control (TQC), companies are required to have
documented procedures and effective automated data capture
applications, such as inventory control, work in progress, labor
tracking, receive-putaway and pick-ship systems. The aptly named
Falcon soars in this tough environment.
