Honeywell, VM2C1A1A1BUS01A, Thor Vehicle-Mount Computer, External WLAN Antenna, US, 1GB
Thor VM2 introduces an additional form factor option granting greater flexibility which is emphasized by its 9.7" XGA display, programmable multi-function keys, and WLAN and WWAN connectivity. The same key features that have made the Thor VM1 an overwhelming success are in VM2. Delivering laptop-like simplicity, the Smart Dock capability allows for the separation of the computer from the power supply empowering users to seamlessly migrate from vehicle to vehicle and reducing the required number of computers. Further, the field-replaceable front panel enables single-tool touch screen repairs, which significantly minimizes downtime and maintenance costs resulting from wear and tear at the most common breaking point. Lastly, the power management settings that accompany the ignition control feature virtually eliminate dead vehicle batteries and the subsequent productivity losses. The supply chain industry requires workers to function in rough conditions where unique challenges exist. As a result, it is important to incorporate the highest efficiency while maintaining low cost. With the unique features in Thor VM2, businesses are able to address and respond to these versatile issues as they occur, dramatically improving operations.
Features with all optional accessories:
- Smart Dock: Enables mounting and removal in seconds like a laptop dock but with the ruggedness and sealing required for industrial applications; maximizes efficiency by dynamically shifting workers and computers as the workload changes, while minimizing maintenance cost by enabling a computer to be shifted from one vehicle to another in 1/6 the standard time
- Field-Replaceable Front Panel: Reduces capital and maintenance cost by integrating the two most wear and abuse prone components, the keyboard and touchscreen, into a user-replaceable part; reduces capital costs by substituting spare front panels for spare computers
- Ignition Control: Eliminates the maintenance expense and lost productivity caused by a dead vehicle battery; unit can be configured to automatically go into standby or hibernate at a selectable time after the ignition switch is turned off, saving time for associates while eliminating a point of concern for warehouse management
