Categories Related to Handheld Terminals
A handheld terminal is a portable terminal that can easily collect data recorded in barcodes and 2D codes.
Some models can use a character recognition function to read characters in addition to barcodes and 2D codes. Functions other than data collection include data transmission/reception, data storage, key input, and screen display.
There are also a variety of types available, such as medical types that can be disinfected with chemicals, explosion-proof types specialized for explosion-proof areas, and refrigeration types for frozen warehouses, depending on the environment of the site where they will be used.
Handheld terminals are used in a variety of business applications as portable terminals that can easily collect data, such as:
The functions and specifications required for handheld terminals vary greatly depending on the application and scene of use, but they are mainly composed of data reading, screen display and operation, and communication functions, and the following principles are utilized.
The data reading function uses lasers or LEDs to read barcodes, QR codes, and other two-dimensional codes attached to products, as well as characters, and converts them into numbers, letters, and symbols according to certain rules.
LCDs are mainly used for screen displays, which display characters, graphs, images, etc. under the control of the CPU.
Operation functions are performed via a keyboard or numeric keypad for inputting quantities, etc., or via a touch panel integrated with the screen. Input information is decoded by the CPU and recognized as letters, numbers, and symbols.
Communication functions are mainly performed via wireless LAN or Bluetooth. The terminal is connected to a host computer or other terminals via the Internet or an internal network, and the date, time, and product data read are stored in the terminal before being sent and received in real time to the host computer or other terminals.
Handheld terminals are available in a variety of models. In order to select an appropriate product from among the many models available, choose one based on the nature of your business, the environment in which it will be used, and the cost.
The applications required will differ depending on the nature of the business. Many handheld terminals are equipped with an Android OS, but the applications that can be used vary depending on the OS version. Check to see if the necessary apps are provided.
We also consider special requirements, such as the need for a PTT button specialized for RFID readers and intercoms.
Depending on the environment of the site where the product will be used, a model that satisfies special environmental conditions such as medical type, explosion-proof type, or refrigeration type may be required.
Cost, calculated based on budget and cost effectiveness, is another important consideration. Not only the purchase cost of handheld terminal but also the maintenance cost should be taken into account.
Handheld terminals are more sophisticated than handy scanners. Handheld terminals are more versatile and have a wide range of applications, while handheld scanners are used for reading merchandise POS data, reading library checkout data, etc., due to their single function but lower price.
