The mobile workforce now has a management tool that customizes software applications while working in the field.  Formula can be uploaded with a company’s specific needs for reading bar codes, transmitting information, and inputting data through its Pre-Loaded Asset and Inventory Management application.  Technology can be adjusted to fit the needs of any corporation. 

The Datalogic Formula handheld computer  offers several communication options for compatibility with host systems.  Enabled Bluetooth provides wireless access technology, while the USB and Serial (RS232) provide workplace connections.  A businesses barcode scanner can easily be upgraded to provide immediate and accurate information.

Experiments have been analyzed for the Formula’s industrial usage.  Multiple drops from four feet in height to a concrete floor tested with positive results in the areas of reliability and long-term usage.  Exposure to liquids and dust demonstrated the strength of the IP54 seal against damages.  Light industrial businesses will find the Formula ideal in environments that operate between 32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit. 

The Formula provides a visual display that allows for brightness adjustments and clarity for reading codes in any lighting situation.  The unit and standard battery weigh in at a mere 7.3 ounces allowing it to fit easily into any pocket.  Formula has been designed to allow an operator easy accessibility to keyboarding tasks with a single hand.

Customers can expect to receive a Formula as an all inclusive unit.  Shipment will arrive in a single box with a standard battery.  Initial setup can easily be completed with the mini-USB cable.  Operators who travel internationally can modify the power supply through the use of plug adapters to accommodate the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, and Europe.  Formula is an investment to insure increased productivity and technological capability for a mobile workforce.
