Fishing for a handheld device to stand up in extreme conditions

摘要

Established in 1910, Ocean Beauty Seafoods is one of the most successful seafood companies in the Pacific Northwest. During the height of fishing season, the company employs about 2,000 workers at its six Alaskan processing plants and ships millions of pounds of canned, frozen and fresh seafood to customers including Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee Foods. To meet global food quality standards and traceability requirements. Ocean Beauty installed a software solution (SIMBA, simba.com) that uses bar code technology. But they needed more rugged, ergonomic handheld equipment to operate in the cold, wet processing environment.
