1.1 DATALOGIC SKORPIO™ DESCRIPTION
1.1.1 Datalogic Skorpio™
Datalogic Skorpio™ is a rugged mobile computer particularly suitable for mobile
commerce solutions in the retail environment, both on store shelves and in the stock
room.
Thanks to one of the best ergonomics ever seen on the market, Datalogic Skorpio™
reduces operator fatigue with no compromise in terms of reliability and robustness,
resisting harsh environments, multiple drops, strong shocks and repetitive tumbles.
Datalogic Skorpio™ offers the unique feature of integrated data capture technology
combined with “green spot” feedback (Datalogic patent), providing a ”good read”
green dot directly on the code, where the operator usually tends to be looking.
Datalogic Skorpio™ system architecture is based on the Intel X-Scale PXA-270
series processors coupled with the Windows CE 5.0 and the Windows Mobile 6.1
operating systems. It is ready to satisfy the most demanding customer needs (i.e.
expandable memory thanks to the Mini Secure Digital standard slot).
Its wireless communication capabilities (Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi) enable fast transactions
and complete interaction with the information system, as well as wearable
peripherals, while its long lasting Li-ION batteries grant full shift coverage in terms of
autonomy.
Furthermore, its large high visibility color graphic display with touch screen helps
users work more efficiently, while the availability of two different keyboards - 38-key
alphanumeric for a complete input and the 28-key numeric for simplified applications
- allows data, codes and descriptions to be inserted very quickly.
Datalogic Skorpio™ is able to fulfill 100% of traditional text-based applications (i.e.
terminal emulation, through the Wavelink Terminal Emulator software client) as well
as the most modern Web-based solutions (i.e. exploiting Microsoft Internet Explorer
through the Datalogic Desktop Utility)..
Developers can create and deploy single or multiple data collection applications
rapidly exploiting the MCL Collection, while IT managers can centralize the
management of mobile devices revising configurations, synchronizing software and
updating firmware and drivers remotely and seamlessly thanks to the Wavelink
Avalanche software.
