VC 80 Operating System Maintenance Release 2 (01.02.00) Release Notes

Introduction

Whether your material handling vehicle operators are moving incoming shipments in a warehouse into inventory, containers on and off ships and trains or baggage to and from departing and arriving planes, you need to achieve maximum throughput and accuracy. With the VC80, you will.

With full Windows support, the data your operators need to complete tasks faster and more accurately is always at their fingertips. The rugged design built to handle all day vibrations, pounding and your toughest indoor and outdoor environments — including the freezer. With its compact design and flexible mounting options, the VC80 will fit easily your vehicles – even in the most space constrained forklifts, clamp trucks, yard mules and more.

When it comes to adding the features your workers need to maximize productivity, we make it easy, with all the ports you need to add bar code scanners, mobile printers, a push-to-talk microphone and more. You get plenty of power to deliver blazing performance on the most graphics-intensive applications, paving the way to upgrade your green screen apps to a more modern interface. Your workers can expect true wired-line style wireless performance with support for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac plus your choice of internal or external antennas. The display is easy to see – even outdoors. The touch screen’s soft keyboard and vibration feedback are designed for use with even the thickest gloves. Do your workers prefer a keyboard? No problem — we offer optional keyboards that can be mounted on the bottom or side of the VC80. And in the event of damage, you can replace the touch screen – the most frequently damaged component – on site, no need for a trip to the service depot.

The VC80 – real desktop power designed for all your material handling vehicles.
