The Intermec® CK30
mobile data collection computer continues the tradition
of delivering on Intermec’s promise of rugged, reliable
computing that will position your enterprise for the
future with a combination of best-in-class features and
functionality, such as thoughtful ergonomic design and
integrated imaging options. With an unparalleled
capability to perform legacy applications, the CK30
gives your enterprise investment insurance because it is
the ideal bridge between the technologies you’re using
today and what you will need tomorrow.
The CK30 delivers the
right blend of features and performance with the
Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET operating system, designed
to provide the optimum combination of real time
operation, tools support and standard connectivity
available today for battery driven, mobile data
collection devices.
The CE .NET operating
system minimizes memory requirements, reduces complexity
and allows the application developer to completely
customize the user interface that is appropriate or
desirable. CE .NET also supports mainstream application
development tools for starting from scratch or upgrading
existing applications. For client applications, the
forward-looking .NET Compact Framework and Visual Studio
.NET development tools will minimize any modifications
between different .NET devices that might otherwise be
required, including the Intermec® 700 Series Pocket PC
mobile computer.
With CE .NET, Intermec
has added features to the CK30 that enhance mobile data
collection such as a simplified menu system tailored for
key-based devices, display icons to provide intuitive,
graphic-based status information to the operator and a
data server for editing, filtering and routing to save
programming time.
The Intel® XScale™
processor, running up to 400 MHz, provides more than
enough power to drive the bright color display, a range
of peripherals, repetitive scanning and wireless network
traffic. It delivers the level of response time and
throughput required for real time, mission-critical
applications in warehousing, distribution, manufacturing
operations and retail in-store management.
Because of the many
configurations available, you can tailor the CK30 to
your usage plans to support a wide range of
applications. Three distinct keypad options – ranging
from the simplified 42 key to a full 52 key alphanumeric
keyboard – offer layouts for applications that range
from shipping and receiving, put-away, picking, and
cycle counting for the warehouse floor to price
verification, stock management, and returns in the
retail storefront. The CK30 applies superior technology
and thoughtful design to all of these scan-intensive
applications. The
device offers new linear imagers that deliver
reliability and ideal scanning capabilities for arm’s
length scanning applications. Users are also able to
select laser scanners for either standard range or
long-range applications. Additionally, an area imager
option also supports 2D symbologies, and users can
attach tethered scanners for additional ergonomic
flexibility.
Position your
enterprise for growth by selecting the 64MB RAM/64MB
Flash model with a bright color display for the highest
level of application flexibility. Or, choose less memory
and a high contrast mono display for very thin clients
or terminal emulation to reduce your initial investment.
Additional configuration alternatives include Bluetooth™
for the convenience and flexibility of wireless
peripherals such as wearable label printers.
Because the CK30 can run
Intermec TE2000 as well as third party terminal
emulation clients, it enables unparalleled portability
of legacy applications for mix-and-match operability
with existing TE networks. In addition, the CK30 offers
investment protection because it can run existing
Intermec 2400 family applications with only a
re-compile. The CK30 is an attractive upgrade platform
not only for the many legacy C++ applications from the
2400 Family, but also from other Intermec or competitive
products.
Web-based applications
can easily be implemented either through Intermec’s
text-based dcBrowser™ or the bundled lock-down browsers
based on Pocket Internet Explorer (CK30B) or IE6
(CK30C). The
CK30’s Wi-Fi® certified 802.11b/g radios, including a
CCX (Cisco) Program certification*, insure consistent
performance by providing the best available wireless
network throughput and reliability. For off-line
applications, the CK30 batch model readily fits into a
single or 4-bay communication dock with USB, RS232 or
Ethernet host connectivity.
Security features of the
CK30 are second to none with support for traditional WEP
and the new Wi-Fi WPA standard, as well as full 802.1x
compliance including the Windows standard EAP-TLS and
PEAP, EAP-TTLS and the compatibility with many existing
networks with LEAP support. Government users can select
the FIPS security standard, also available to commercial
users for increased security.
The user-tested
ergonomic design of the CK30 has rendered a lightweight
and uncommonly well-balanced device that reduces stress
and fatigue during extended work sessions. Its sculpted
back case is shaped to comfortably accommodate any hand
size. An optional user-installable and removable pistol
grip handle is ideal for highly repetitive scanning
situations or accommodating user preference.
An additional design
feature of the CK30 includes a high capacity lithium-ion
battery “back” directly integrated into the shape of the
computer, so users can not only expect at least a full
shift of usage without having to change the battery, but
also can avoid the complications of a battery door.
Intermec power management software ensures the longest
possible battery life between charges. For user
convenience, CK30 batteries can be removed and charged
separately, or the CK30 itself can simply be dropped
into charge-only docks – or even re-charged while placed
in communication docks.
The CK30 can be factory
configured for English and all Western European
languages, or for display of Asian fonts including
Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Korean. |
