C and Basic Complier is also available for more advanced programming requirements.

Wireless Connection Goes Beyond

The 8700 series includes a range of wireless connections to enable personnel on-site and off-site to obtain information. GPS allows managers to accurately locate dispatch trucks to assist with vehicle management. Workers can now receive instant updates via reliable WLAN and 3.5G UMTS / HSDPA. Through wireless transmission, management can simultaneously track manufacturing progress in every stage. As workers move from offices to production areas, data won’t be misplaced during crucial moments. The Bluetooth® function enables connectivity to other printers so you can seamlessly print barcodes from receiving and inspection, to shipping. With the 8700, wireless connection goes beyond just one aspect to permit more mobilized operations.

Mobilized Data Solutions for a Streamlined Supply Chain

Durable and low-power consumption, the 8700 series is guaranteed to work as hard as your workers – providing nearly 170* hours of efficient energy use in batch mode and 66* hours of continuous WLAN usage. It features a rechargeable 3.7v 4000 mAh Li-ion battery with a backup battery to protect data during battery replacement. Your workers can now work throughout the day performing inventory control and WIP tracking tasks without interruptions.

The 8700 series fulfills your unique application requirements with a variety of data input options – RFID, linear imager, laser, and 2D imager. In addition, the long range laser enables data collection from a distance in a warehousing or manufacturing setting. Whether it’s asset tracking on the manufacturing floor or final product shipping, the 8700 series gets your workers ready for work with the reader that best fits the job – minimizing workflow downtime and maximizing productivity for your business.

In a dynamic working environment, it’s essential to incorporate proficient data transfer and simplified customization. With the 8700 series, you are able to connect to a back-end server via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from the software "Application Generator (AG)" and "C and BASIC Complier" – data can be transmitted much faster in larger volumes. A centralized data process makes it easier to manage and maintain accurate data at all times. Additionally, the 8700 series can be easily integrated into mainframe back-end with MIRROR Terminal Emulator. The 8700 series truly meets your business demands.

The CipherLab software development kit enables easy customization for the 8700 series with a variety of applications and tools to satisfy your unique day-to-day operation needs – enabling it to communicate data across platforms to back-end servers via WLAN using FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
