Setting A New Standard For Industrial Portable Data Collection Terminals

Falcon 330 Features:

• Powerful 486 Class Processor
• DOS 6.22 Operating System
• 8MB of RAM Standard
• Internal Antenna and Built-in, Front-Shooting Laser
• Environmentally Sealed to an IP54 Rating
• One internal PC Card Slot

Fast, accurate, customizable real-time automatic data collection is needed by today´s businesses striving for greater efficiency, productivity and cost effectiveness.

The Falcon 330 by PSC is the answer. Open standards, powerful applications and ease of use allow these portable data collection terminals to integrate seamlessly into the supply chain systems of all companies involved in retail, warehousing, distribution, logistics, and manufacturing.

The Falcon 330 has a sleek, IP54 rated, environmentally sealed case and built-in, front-shooting laser. Its powerful 486 processor, running at 33 MHz, operates under DOS 6.22. The Falcon 330 comes with 8 MB of RAM standard, 2 MB of Flash ROM, an internal PC Card Slot, a 16-line screen. There are two keyboard options: the standard 38 key alphanumeric keypad and the 25-key large numeric keypad. Open architecture ensures easy application development. And the Falcon 330 wireless terminal is available with PowerNet Twin Client™ to support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 terminal emulations with screen formatter, allowing swift and simple integration into your existing legacy system.

While the Falcon 330 provides ideal batch data collection solutions, the Falcon 330 , a wireless data collection terminal, excels in data collection throughut the supply chain where real-time access to dat is required. Its internal antenna is protected and its 2.4Ghz spread spectrum radio options include Cisco Aironet, Lucent (Agere) Orinoco, Proxim and Symbol radio support for maximum flexibility. The Falcon 330 has raised the bar in RF, real-time data collection technology.

With international quality standards set by ISO 9000, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Just In Time (JIT), and Total Quality Control (TQC), companies are required to have documented procedures and effective automated data capture applications, such as inventory control, work in progress, labor tracking, receiving-putaway and pick/ship systems. The aptly named Falcon soars in this tough environment.
