Zebra Technologies Vehicle-Mount Computer Brings Desktop Power to Mobile Application Needs
New ultra-rugged VC80 vehicle-mount mobile computer puts desktop applications at the fingertips of vehicle operators working in the toughest environments
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Nov. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in solutions and services that provide real-time visibility into organizations' assets, people and transactions, today introduced its most powerful and advanced vehicle-mount computer, the new Windows 10-ready VC80. Featuring full Microsoft Windows, the VC80 virtually extends any PC-based application to material-handling vehicle operators requiring mobile access to desktop applications that improve productivity.
The ultra-rugged VC80 is easy to install on forklifts, clamp trucks, yard mules and cranes and is built to operate in the toughest indoor and outdoor environments including warehouses, distribution centers, airports, seaports and railway yards. Manufacturers, distributors and transportation and logistics (T&L) organizations can use the VC80's wireless capabilities to seamlessly connect to the host system while roaming - making it the ideal solution for receiving, picking, packing, shipping, cross-dock and replenishment applications. This combination of features enables organizations to run their business more efficiently by connecting mobile workers to back-end systems, providing visibility to floor operations.
KEY FACTS
-- The VC80 features the full Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 or
Windows 7 Professional operating system (OS) and can be used as a
stationary computer off a conveyor system, a dock door or as a mobile
workstation kiosk.
-- With a field-replaceable touchscreen and keypad, the VC80 is repairable
right on the spot - eliminating trips to the service depot and
maximizing device availability.
-- Optimized for freezer or cold storage environments with its unique
system of smart temperature sensors that control heaters for protection
against internal and external condensation, the VC80 also includes a
heated touchscreen to help improve mobile worker productivity and reduce
downtime.
-- Featuring multiple mounting options, including an optional quick-release
mount, the VC80 is easy to install and remove, and it's built to
withstand continuous operations in industrial environments providing
businesses with greater efficiencies during scheduled and unplanned
maintenance.
-- The VC80 can easily be equipped with a deployment-ready mobile solution
to connect to Zebra mobile printers and handheld scanners, enabling
businesses to collect business-critical information and print with ease.
-- Zebra OneCare Essential Services can significantly reduce unforeseen
repair expenses for the VC80 by providing device diagnostics and
coverage for normal wear and tear, as well as accidental damage to
internal and external components.
