Press release -

CAP IS OFF AS THE BARCODE WAREHOUSE TEAMS UP WITH GETAC


 

The Barcode Warehouse, the
UK's leading barcode solution provider
will become one of the only official suppliers of the new device which will
offer multiple functions in one – simply by changing the cap.


Making use of RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification), long range Bluetooth, 1D laser barcode reader, and
3-in-1 card reader functionality (HF RFID reader, smart card reader, SAM card
slots), the all new PS336 is being dubbed by industry critics as an
'innovation'.


Users can easily switch
between the numerous functions thanks to Getac’s own Flexiconn™ technology, which
allows various caps to be fitted and removed from the device depending on the
primary function required. The PS336 also incorporates an open interface
meaning Independent Hardware Vendors can add new modules/caps to expand
functionality.


Peter Molyneux, President
of Getac UK, said: This new device offers maximum flexibility and will go a
long way towards reducing the need for multiple devices in the field. Presently
users need to be equipped with a number of tools or devices to perform their
tasks: the PS336 offers a new multi-solution.”


“We have designed and built
the PS336 to be the most convenient and multi-functional handheld users can
buy. Having multiple functions just a cap-click away makes the new handheld
ideal for data capture in any environment. And in addition to Flexiconn, the
device offers programmable keys so users can personalise and prioritise the
functions most important to them.”


A spokesperson for the
Barcode Warehouse which specialises in providing adhesive labels, barcode scanners and barcode label printers
said: "We are delighted to be one of the only UK suppliers of the PS336
and we hope that this will add strength to our existing partnership with
Getac."


Peter Molyneux, added: “The
device has a 1GHz processor (the fastest such CPU on any handheld), providing
superior graphics performance while operating on low power consumption; the
battery can last up to 12 hours with LiveSupport™ Battery Swappable Technology,
meaning users can change the battery without shutting down the system. The
device can be submerged in water for at least 30 minutes and will remain fully
functional. It also offers Drop Protection to 6 feet. Outdoor users will also
benefit from a Sunlight Readability of 600 nits, including BlanView high
resolution (VGA) display. 


"We are looking
forward to our continuing partnership with The Barcode Warehouse and have faith
in them as one of our only suppliers.".
