Rugged handhelds reduce maintenance time for hardware and software

摘要

Winn Solutions is a leader in Cloud-based bar code tracking technology software serving a diverse logistics customer base in the enterprise, government, healthcare, education, retail and entertainment industries. Its Winn Item Tracking System (WITS) creates and monitors the chain of custody of packages by scanning bar codes with handheld devices that track the workflow through various departments and recipients. The company recognized it was spending too much time servicing its Windows mobile devices in use by its logistics and supply chain customers. Devices were not living up to their "rugged" label and were failing in the field. After deploying fully rugged handhelds (Panasonic, business.panasonic.com) to customers, the company enhanced worker productivity and minimized downtime.
