SageData have been working with Psion since 1991, and have had a close
working relationship throughout those years. The Psion Workabout was
the third generation of Psion product, and we have supplied many
systems based on this platform to clients in Canada and around the
world.
Now Psion Teklogix have released the successor to the Psion
Workabout. This machine, the Workabout Pro, is based on the
Microsoft .NET environment, which provides an extremely powerful base
on which industrial applications can be built. For those
not familiar with .NET, it will appear very similar to the Pocket PC OS
found on the IPAQ and similar products, but in a slightly more
industrial flavour. No games. No PIMS.
The hardware itself is very appealing. Various models can offer
colour screens, touch screen functionality, a variety of scanners,
Bluetooth and 802.11 communication capability.
One of the key features of this machine is its flexibility.
Components such as laser scanners, radio, and additional memory, can be
added locally, without the need for a return to the factory. This
provides flexibility in early system development, and can extend
product life, as the product can readily be upgraded to meet changing
requirements.
SageData have updated the Basset Pro AMS (Asset Management System) to
work on this platform, and it is now avaliable in Batch and RF
modes. A hybrid, automatically switching variant is under
development.
