TERMINAL
FALCON-330

 

         Fast, accurate, customizable real-time automatic data collection is the need of today?s businesses striving for greater efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness. The Falcon series 330/335 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 companies involved in logistics, manufacturing, retail, warehousing and distribution. The Falcon 330/335 has a sleek, IP54 rated, environmentally sealed case and built-in, front shooting laser. Its powerful 486 class processor, running at 33 MHz, operates under DOS 6.22. The Falcon 330/335 comes with 8MB of RAM, 2MB of Flash ROM, an internal PC Card slot, a 16-line screen and 38 key alphanumeric keypad. Open architecture ensures easy application development. And the Falcon 335 wireless terminal is available with PowerNet TN 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 335, our latest wireless data collection terminal, excels in data collection over wide, on-campus areas where physical distances prohibit hardwiring or when real-time information is critical. Its internal antenna is protected and its 2.4GHz spread spectrum radio options include BreezeCOM, Cisco, Lucent, Proxim and Symbol radio support for maximum flexibility. The Falcon 335 has raised the bar in RF, real-time data collection technology. With the 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 apply named Falcon soars in this tough environment
