Data capture terminals

Data capture terminals or portable data terminals (abbreviated as PDT) are mobile handheld computers designed for workers who need a high-performance industrial laptop computer that is much more reliable and durable than a typical smartphone. Corporate data collection terminals are powerful enough to handle demanding tasks, yet lightweight and compact enough to fit in a pocket or on a belt. The first task for which data terminals began to be used was the inventory of goods and fixed assets.

In the beginning, users often preferred to buy off-line data collection terminals (or batch-terminals), which use the batch mode of accumulating barcodes in memory and further transfer data to a computer (database) via a communication-charging device (cradle). Recently, wireless mobile terminals serve to deploy a system of data collection and processing, which can improve the efficiency in Retail, manufacturing and logistics. As a rule, in the case of the radio-terminal indoor use terminals with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interfaces. In the case of using the terminal outdoors on a large distance exchange of data is carried out on the interface GSM/GPRS.

Previously, only Phone-Size smartphone-format PDT or EDA (electronic data assistant) were equipped with a 3G/4G card, because they were often used outside the office by couriers and merchandisers. And the shockproof terminals used for intensive scanning in warehouses, production facilities and sales halls did not have such functionality. But the latest innovations among warehouse data collection terminals are also equipped with LTE for seamless roaming both indoors and outdoors. For example, the Point Mobile PM351 industrial Gun-Grip Handheld Data Collectors.
