Case Study: Integrator Replaces Palm OS With Windows Embedded For Mobile Data Collection Device
Hayton Systems needed to replace a Palm OS-powered data collection device for a Dow 30 communications services provider that wanted to switch from 1D to 2D barcodes for tracking assets. In addition to being highly responsive, the handheld terminal had to have a familiar GUI, the ability to connect with local or remote PCs for control and troubleshooting, and a standardized application development environment. Hand Held Products provided a solution with the Dolphin 7600 Mobile Computer powered by Windows Embedded CE 5.0. Using familiar Microsoft Visual Studio tools, Hayton quickly developed custom asset management applications for its customer. Multi-threaded OS performance helped speed up the user experience by allowing for background processing of realtime database lookups. The communications company has taken delivery of 1200 Dolphin 7600 units and anticipates placing orders for thousands more over the next five years.
