New technology can be costly. And, every new mobile computer seems to be more expensive than the one before it – but, it’s the latest and greatest, right? Well, we’ve found an Android mobile computer that is just as rugged and reliable as the rest but more affordable than you’d think: Datalogic’s DL-Axist.
The Rugged & Durable DL-Axist
The DL-Axist, by Datalogic, is a touchscreen mobile computer that runs on an Android operating system that features a full 5-inch screen. The Axist is fully rugged; it can withstand most indoor and outdoor environments. The touchscreen and scan window are made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3. You can also add an optional protective rubber boot to ensure ruggedness and add additional protection.
This mobile device can withstand 6 ft drops to concrete while in the protective boot. It is also IP67 sealed so it’s protected against dust and water.
Flawless Data Capture
Designed for data capture, the DL-Axist is equipped with an advanced 2D imager. This imager allows for quick and easy data capture from high-density barcodes at standard distances. This device also uses Datalogic’s Green Spot technology which gives the user good-read feedback.
For applications that require evidence of task execution or damaged documentation, the DL-Axist offers a 5MP autofocus camera with a built-in LED flash.
DL-Axist in the Warehouse
If you’re not currently using mobile devices or are looking to upgrade, the Axist may be for you. The DL-Axist will give your warehouse staff the ability to track inventory from the moment it enters the warehouse to the moment it leaves. So, overall accuracy will increase. The DL-Axist will give your staff the ability to connect wirelessly and complete multiple tasks quickly. The ability to connect also gives your staff access to real-time data which will lead to an increase in accuracy.
