Handheld Computers in Industry

Rugged handheld computers are used every day in industry by retailers, warehouse operators, service technicians, parcel companies and transportation operators to track customer purchases, inventory and shipments and to scan tickets.

There are half a dozen manufacturers that compete in this crowded space, where customers demand devices that are hardy, high-tech, compact, inexpensive and suited to their particular needs. Psion Teklogix is one of these manufacturers that found a way to differentiate itself form the competition, by creating a modular platform called Omnii with interchangeable keyboards, scanners, communications modules, screens, grips and operations features like a camera and GPS. This modular platform allows cost-effective customization to suit the wide variety of industries to which they market their products. For example, Psion or one of its partners can create a new RF communications module and then plug that module into many of the pre-existing Omnii products.
