From Casio and ASP Microcomputers, one of Australia’s leading business technology companies, comes a new-generation of industrial handheld data terminals, the DT-X30 Series specifically designed for people and businesses on the move.
Casio and its Australian mobile business solutions partner, ASP, expects strong interest from the transport and logistics industries "or where-ever real time data capture and communication is needed."
In transport and supply chain logistics applications, the DT-X30GR-30C enables head office to collect and receive information from drivers in real time.
The new Casio terminals are equipped with wireless WAN (EDGE/GPRS/GSM) and GPS, as well as an on-board digital camera.
Staff are able to receive notification of loading and delivery completion from drivers plus the vehicle’s exact location via GPS.
This information enables management to achieve greater efficiencies by, for example, dispatching the nearest driver to pick up goods from a customer or store wishing to send or pick up a consignment.
ASP Director Robert Kogoi says the company is a national provider of business technology solutions which is very excited by the productivity and efficiency gains that are possible with these new Casio handheld terminals.
"The terminals offer a remarkable convergence of technologies," Kogoi says.
"Our added value association with Casio means business is able to access proven Casio technology and have it tailored to their individual requirements by ASP here in Australia."
"Our role is to build bridges between technology and how it can benefit business. It really is a great partnership," he says.
Digital Camera
The new DT-X30 Series 2.0-megapixel digital camera (with auto-focus) enables drivers to capture images and send back to base in real time - such things as the condition of consignments or signed delivery receipts, ensuring office staff and clients have an accurate understanding of the situation 'on the ground'.
The development of the Casio range also carefully took into consideration the drivers who will actually carry and use one.
The grip-type shape is easy to hold, key input and scanning is effortless. The display uses a Casio 3.5 inch advanced 2-way colour LCD, offering superlative visibility even outdoors.
It also boasts superior durability and performance in a variety of tough environments. For example, it is IP64 rated dust/splash proof, can withstand the shock of a fall of 1.5 metres and has an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C.
There are five models in the DT-X30 series, which can be used in a wide variety of commercial and other applications.
Apart from courier or parcel delivery management other applications include direct store delivery management, parking enforcement, traffic infringement citations, meter readings, inspections, warehousing, etc.
